Course Intelligence
Course Character
The course rewards precise strategy rather than force. The closing par-5 offers a memorable risk-reward decision over water, while the historic setting, palms, mature vegetation and views across the Bay of Palma give the round its distinctive character. Golf Son Vida is Mallorca’s oldest course, a par-71 18-hole layout beside the Son Vida estate, with technical fairways, strategically placed bunkers, complex greens and Mediterranean views. Historic Mediterranean parkland with a bold finish
Major Risks
Protected areas Biotopes and no-play zones can remove the direct line and require rule-based relief. Boundary holes Out of bounds affects holes 9, 10 and 13–18, including roads and paths on 17 and 18.
Blue Tee Strategy
Treat marked boundaries and protected zones as strategic constraints. Use conservative targets near water and woodland edges. Keep the approach angle predictable on the undulating greens. Position first, then attack
