Golf de Andratx

Played this as part of a tour during May 07. First impressions, superb resort facility, well run, very personable staff and the only course I've played where the [compulsory] buggies have alloy wheels ! The cabby master [who looked like she had stepped straight from the pages of a glamour magazine] warned that the standard rate of play would run to 5 hours and due to a slow society in front and the distance between greens and tees it took nearly 6 hours. Tight opening first hole followed by a par 3 second. The drive from the second green to the 3rd tee took nearly 4 minutes and then a further 5 minutes to climd the 126 steps [we counted them] to the 3rd tee. A good and intersting layout with individual holes, very long from the back tees and a real challenge.Greens a little on the slow side compared to other courses on the island. My only slight concern is that, on the back nine, property development is very close to the playing area and there are a number of disclaimers posted which reminds the player that it is his or her responsibility to avoid damage to persons or property. For those that have played on the Costa d'el Sol it reminds me of a cross between La Cala North and Monte Mayor.Well worth the experiance.

This to me was the best course we played on our recent trip to mallorca. Superb facilities from the club shop through the changing rooms to the brand new buggies. An excellewnt and challenging course with some very tight holes. With holes such as The Green Monster (609m off the competition tees), Birdie Time, and Pine Valley, you cannot fail to enjoy this course. You are in good company playing here, honourary members include : Michael Douglas and Boris Becker. Don't miss thia course if you are on Mallorca
