Arabella Golf Son Quint
About this course
Son Quint sits in the hills just northeast of Palma de Mallorca, part of the Arabella Golf collection that has shaped the island's golf landscape since the 1990s. Designed by Kurt Rossknecht with Ramon Espinosa Garcia, the course opened in 2007 and occupies gently rolling terrain with views across the Mallorcan countryside toward the capital and, on clear days, the Mediterranean beyond. The layout reflects modern European resort design principles, balancing playability for visiting golfers with enough strategic interest to reward thoughtful course management. The routing moves through natural Mediterranean vegetation—pines, olives, and native scrub—with elevation changes that create variety in stance and perspective throughout the round. Water features appear on several holes, and bunkering tends toward the sculptured style common in contemporary Spanish resort courses. The design offers multiple tee positions to accommodate different skill levels, a practical consideration given the international clientele drawn to Mallorca's golf tourism industry. Son Quint operates as part of the Arabella Golf complex, which includes additional courses and resort amenities in the area. The setting provides a quieter alternative to some of Mallorca's busier coastal venues, with the surrounding landscape retaining a more pastoral character despite proximity to Palma. The course serves both resort guests and local members, typical of the island's golf facilities that balance tourism with year-round play in Mallorca's mild climate.

Getting there
Most visitors arrive via Palma de Mallorca Airport, a major European gateway positioned just fifteen minutes southwest of the city center and barely twenty minutes from Arabella Golf Son Quint itself. The drive northeast traces the gentle arc of the bay before turning inland through Palma's residential outskirts, where Mediterranean villas give way to the manicured calm of the Son Quint estate. Private aviation typically routes through the same commercial terminal, though the proximity means ground time is minimal - a rare luxury among resort destinations, where the golf begins almost as soon as the descent does.
