German designer Thomas Himmel is the man responsible for the majestic par-72 layout at Son Gual, which is already renowned for its impeccable conditioning. Son Gual is one of a collection of new championship courses that is a must play for serious golfers; although it is more expensive than most others in Mallorca, the challenge and overall experience of Son Gual is well worth it.
The course is 7,250 yards from the backs, with bent grass conditioning from the large tees to billiard-table greens. The captivating design includes one of the finest collection of par 3’s to be found anywhere in Europe, and an eighteenth hole which, for those who played it, is likely to go straight into their “Hall of Fame” list.
