Two
almost identical courses, East and West, both with 18 holes.
Both are always in top condition and are designed for golfers
who want to play a relaxing 18 holes with not too many suprises.
You'll easily play your handicap. As a result of the ease
of play tee times are often very scarce at peak times, suprise
suprise...

Owned
and operated by the Marriott Hotels group, this vast complex
can found by traveling from Palma on the Lluchmajor road.
Should you have played any of the Marriott resorts in the
UK, you will have a pretty good idea of what is in store.
Both courses resemble those found in Florida and the Carolinas.
I think they call it target golf. Loads of sand and water
on both courses but fairly wide open. I believe the East
Course provides the sterner test but as it appears the more
popular of the two, the condition of the West Course is
normally slightly better. Both courses are around 6,000
mts in length, similarly both courses are fairly flat providing
easy walking.

Signature holes on American type courses are usually those
that include serious water and Son Antem proves the point.
The par 4 seventeenth on the East course (372 mts) has water
threatening most of the left side of the fairway. The same
lake runs behind the green thus punishing those who over
club with their approach. The par 4 fifth (356 mts) and
the par 4 eighteenth (340 mts) on the West course also feature
lakes that protect their respective greens Note, Mallorca’s
roads agency are currently road widening in the area, so
leave extra time for your journey.
