Son Termens arguably has the most stunning panoramic views of all  Mallorca’s golf courses. Set in an idyllic hillside location, with the dramatic backdrop of the Tramuntana mountains behind. The remote location of Son Termens 10km North of Palma just off the road to Valldemossa, necessitates having your own transport, or booking private transfers.

Son Termens was designed by the Harris group assisted by Jose Rodriguez, and opened in 1998.  The 5598m par-70 course is known for its quick, smooth greens, significant changes of elevation and some blind shots. These features combine to offer a solid challenge for all levels of ability. There are two lakes on the front 9 holes, which are at the lower part of the course. The steady rise in elevation over the back 9 enables you to experience stunning views across the landscape and to the Mediterranean sea in the distance.

Being in it’s unique countryside location, Son Termens has an abundance of wildlife. Birds of prey can frequently be seen soaring above the course towards the foothills of the mountains. The course is also famed for it’s herd of wild mountain goats, which occasionally wander down on to the course. They take no notice of golfers, but do assist in keeping the rough under control. The only physical structure on the course is the stunning Mallorcan style clubhouse.

Birdie opportunities are there to be taken on several holes. All golfers will enjoy a course that offers chances to score well. The par-4 1st can be driven by the long hitter, while the course’s two par-5s are reachable by the better player in two. However, there are holes that command respect. The 4th and 10th in particular are two punishing par-4’s, played uphill to raised greens surrounded by bunkers. Good tee-shots are required if you’re to reach the greens in two.

The Son Termens clubhouse is spectacular. Constructed in traditional Mallorcan style, it sits in an elevated position overlooking a large portion of the course. Extensive outside terraces are complimented by a large restaurant and bar area, which are furnished and decorated with Mallorcan style. An excellent menu attracts non golfers also.

Do I Need a Buggy?

Buggies are essential due to the hilly terrain, and are allowed on the fairways, weather permitting
