Nestled between the hills of Son Vida and
the island's capital of Palma, the Arabella resort consists of three
classic courses, Son Vida, Son Quint & Son Muntaner.
Son Muntaner was added in May 2000, when
Kurt Rossknecht who renovated Son Vida, returned to work on a tougher
longer companion for its sister course.
Son Muntaner is a player's course, and from the
1st hole you're confronted by difficult approach shots over water to
bunkered greens. A slithering lake runs the length of the 2nd and
3rd holes, testing your accuracy on each shot.
Son Muntaner boasts Mallorca's oldest
olive tree - "Sa Capitana" is said to be 1,000 years old. It
stands near the 15th tee, so do try to avoid belting it with a golf
ball!
The joy of playing here not only lies in
having to shape the ball off the tee to get the ideal position for your
second shot, but also in the size of the greens which offer the
opportunity for varied pin positions, making the course play differently
every day.
