The flagship. Generous landing zones off the tee give way to subtly contoured greens framed by ancient olive trees — the oldest of which, Sa Capitana, predates the course by roughly 850 years. Plays longer than the card.

SignatureHole 4 — a downhill par 4 with the Tramuntana rising behind the green.

Front Nine

#ParYdsTip
14365Easy opener. Iron off the tee — leaves a wedge into a receptive green.
24410Bunker complex left at 220m. Aim at the right edge of the fairway and let the camber feed it.
33165Slightly downhill. Club one less than the yardage suggests.
44395Signature hole. Driver down the left — the green sits below and the contours kick balls right.
55510Reachable in two for the long hitters. Layup short of the cross-bunker at 90m otherwise.
64380Doglegs right around a stand of olives. Cut the corner with a 3-wood.
73175Long, narrow green. Centre is safe — pin chasers get punished.
84420Toughest par 4 on the front. Bail right; the left bunker is a card-killer.
95525Three-shotter for most. Position the second shot for a full wedge in.

Back Nine

#ParYdsTip
104390Blind tee shot. Aim at the marker post — fairway is wider than it looks.
114345Drivable for the brave. Bunkers guard the front; play smart for a wedge.
123195All carry over a depression. Take the green-side bunker out of play long.
135540Index 1. Three solid swings — water lurks long-left of the green.
144405Driver up the right side opens the green; left brings the trees in.
153155Short and pretty. Anything below the hole leaves a makeable birdie putt.
164425Demanding tee shot through a chute of pines. Centre-cut driver only.
174360Risk-reward. Layup is a 6-iron; full driver flirts with OB right.
185540Closing par 5 back toward the clubhouse. Make a birdie or a memory — preferably both.

Mallorca's first course, and still its most aristocratic. Tight, tree-lined corridors of pine and Mediterranean oak demand placement over power. Course management beats course handicap here every time.

SignatureHole 6 — a sharp dogleg par 4 with the historic Castillo Hotel Son Vida visible above the green.

Front Nine

#ParYdsTip
14330Welcoming opener. 4-iron off the tee — fairway narrows past 230m.
25480Pines pinch the fairway. Find the short stuff, then commit to the layup.
33145Short iron to an elevated green. Wind tends to swirl — trust the number.
44360Dogleg left. Hit a fade to hold the fairway, not a draw to chase it.
54385Long par 4. Anything short of the green is a comfortable up-and-down.
64340Signature dogleg. Aim at the castle spire — the fairway tumbles right toward the green.
73175Long par 3. One more club than you think; back of the green is fine.
85495Birdie chance. Driver down the right opens up the green for a long iron.
94350Tight tee shot. Hybrid is plenty — full driver brings the trees in play.

Back Nine

#ParYdsTip
104365Uphill all the way. Two clubs more for the approach.
113160Stadium-style green. Front pin: short is dead. Back pin: par is a great score.
125505Reachable downwind. Cross-bunker at 80m catches the timid layup.
134395Toughest on the back. Find the fairway or punch out — no second option.
143140Pretty short hole over a small ravine. Take dead aim.
154370Sweeping dogleg right. Three-wood is the play; driver runs through the corner.
164410Long, uphill, exposed. The grind hole of the round.
174320Short par 4. Layup with iron and attack with a wedge — far better than blocking driver right.
185525Closing par 5 climbing back to the clubhouse. Three smart shots; the green tilts back-to-front.

The most modern of the three — wide fairways, big bunkering, and views back across the Bay of Palma from the higher tees. The fairest of the trio, which makes the singles format on Sunday a true test of who shows up.

SignatureHole 14 — long par 4 with the Bay of Palma framed beyond the green.

Front Nine

#ParYdsTip
14380Wide fairway, generous opener. Just put one in play.
24410Bunker left at the corner of the dogleg. Aim down the right.
33180Mid-iron. Two-tier green — match the club to the level of the pin.
45520Three-shot par 5. Lay up to a full wedge; do not get cute.
54360Birdie hole. Hybrid off the tee leaves a comfortable wedge.
64425Long and uphill. Take the bogey, walk to the next tee.
73165Wind exposed. Smooth swing — the green accepts a high ball.
84395Slight dogleg right. Big driver flirts with the fairway bunker; 3-wood is safer.
95535Reachable downwind for the long hitters. Water sits 20m short — respect it on the layup.

Back Nine

#ParYdsTip
104370Generous corridor. Centre cut driver, then a short iron in.
113155Short and inviting. Pin-hunt from the tee.
125510Snaking par 5. Position over power — bunkers catch every line that isn't perfect.
134400Long iron approach for most. Anything below the hole leaves a manageable putt.
144440Signature hole. Sea behind the green plays havoc with depth perception — trust your number.
153170Beautiful par 3. Take one more — back-pin is bigger than it looks.
164380Strategic tee shot — left side opens the green; right brings bunkers in.
174350Risk-reward. Some will go for the green — most should play to 100m.
185545Big finish back toward the clubhouse. Make it count — the bar is right there.

Yardages approximate from championship tees. Tips are general strategy notes — read your own ball, your own lie, and ignore everything the captain shouts from the cart.
