Real Golf de Bendinat occupies a hillside site in the exclusive Bendinat neighborhood west of Palma de Mallorca, overlooking the Bay of Palma and the Mediterranean. Designed by Martin Hawtree and opened in the late 1980s, the course was carved into steep, pine-covered terrain that presents significant elevation changes throughout the round. The routing works with the natural contours of the land, requiring golfers to navigate uphill and downhill lies while managing the visual distractions of the coastal views. The layout measures relatively short by modern standards, with the terrain and strategic bunkering providing much of the challenge rather than pure length. Several holes play across pronounced slopes, and accurate placement becomes essential on the narrow, tree-lined fairways. The greens are typically small and contoured, demanding precise approach shots on a property where level stances are rare. The back nine climbs higher into the hillside before descending back toward the clubhouse. The club serves a membership that includes both local residents and international visitors drawn to Mallorca's climate and lifestyle. Bendinat's location near Palma and its established reputation make it one of the island's more recognized golf venues, though it remains primarily a members' club rather than a resort course. The setting among Mediterranean pines and the views across the bay give the course a distinct character within the Balearic Islands golf scene.
