Despite being one of Mallorca's newest layouts (1998), the course at Golf Son Termens is known for its excellent condition and idyllic hillside location - offering stunning views from vantage points along the back nine. You can also expect to see eagles and partridges on this former hunting estate!
An appealing quality is that the only building you can see while you're out on the course is the attractive ochre Mallorcan style clubhouse. The course is in an excellent location, between the village of S'Esglaieta and the Soller Road, 10km north of Palma on the way to Valldemossa. Even the drive here is a relief from the busy motorway that circles Palma.
The course was designed by the Harris group, and Jose Rodriguez and is a renowned for its quick, smooth greens and its magnificent condition. Birdie opportunities abound, the course is enjoyable to play, partly because it allows you to score well. The par-4 1st can be driven by the long hitter, while the course's two par 5s, the 5th and 6th, are reachable by the better players in two.
There are aslo some very demanding holes. The 4th and 10th in particular are two punishing par 4's, played uphill to raised greens surrounded by bunkers. Both require good tee-shots if you're to reach the greens in two.
The most interesting hole at Son Termens is the par 4 2nd. A blind tee shot to a narrow fairway requires just an iron, leaving a 100-yard pitch to a green protected by water to the front and right, while a huge bunker awaits behind for anyone who overshoots the green.
