GOLF SON GUAL MALLORCA
🇪🇸 Palma de Mallorca, Islas Baleares, ES
Designed by Thomas Himmel
Son Gual opened in 2007 on the island of Mallorca, designed by German architect Thomas Himmel. The course occupies a historic estate near Palma, incorporating natural stone walls, ancient olive trees, and traditional Mallorcan architecture into its layout. The property's agricultural heritage remains visible throughout the routing, with the design working around existing landscape features rather than imposing an entirely manufactured character on the land.
The course plays across rolling terrain with elevation changes that provide views toward the Tramuntana mountains and the Mediterranean coastline. Water features appear on several holes, integrated into the natural drainage patterns of the property. The routing includes a mix of hole lengths and strategic options, with bunkering that emphasizes visual clarity and multiple approach angles to greens. Native vegetation and maintained rough areas define playing corridors while preserving the Mediterranean landscape character.
Son Gual has established itself as one of Spain's higher-profile modern courses and has hosted professional events on the European Challenge Tour. The facility includes practice areas and a clubhouse that reflects traditional Mallorcan architectural style. The course attracts both resort visitors to Mallorca and traveling golfers seeking contemporary design in a Mediterranean setting, operating as a daily-fee facility accessible to non-members throughout the year.
