This is the oldest course on the island dating back to 1964 and, underwent a revamp, back in 2000. The course is quite hilly and affords panoramic views to the Bay and city of Palma.

The smallish greens and fairways require accuracy and one of the standout holes must be the par 5, 6th, the so-called "Cathedral Hole", downhill all the way.

Its fairways run through the prestigious estate of Son Vida, with spectacular views over the Bay of Palma, and in the midst of an old tree population, which gives you a feeling of tradition and comfort.

The technical design of the course, the speed of the greens and the continuous obstacles are demanding an intelligent golf playing strategy to be victorious and successful on this course – and of course – to entertain golf beginners.

Its stunning 18th hole par 5 with a second shot over the water for sure will be a temptation among the more adventurous golfers.
The Son Vida golf course has hosted two events of the European Tour, the Balearic Open in 1990 (with the exciting victory of Seve Ballesteros in a play-off) and the Balearic Open in 1994 (with Barry Lanes victory).
