GOLF SON GUAL, MALLORCA<br />
Son Gual – the <strong>World</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Leading</strong> <strong>Golf</strong>’s champion<br />
course <strong>of</strong> 2014 – opened in 2007 and is 42 in the <strong>Golf</strong><br />
<strong>World</strong> Top 100 <strong>Golf</strong> Courses in Continental Europe<br />
2015/16 ranking, making the € 30m Thomas Himmel-designed<br />
course the top venue in Mallorca.<br />
Borne <strong>of</strong> a desire in its owner for Mallorca to have a golf<br />
course worthy <strong>of</strong> the sunshine island, Son Gual was<br />
sculpted expertly out <strong>of</strong> a large piece <strong>of</strong> barren agricultural<br />
land. The transformation into a world-class course<br />
has created a venue which features large lakes, 66 bunkers,<br />
800 olive trees – some more than a thousand years<br />
old – wild flowers in the rough and vineyards in several<br />
areas around the course. It includes several outstanding,<br />
memorable holes including an 18th described by one reviewer<br />
as a “serious contender for Europe’s best par-five<br />
and Spain’s most dramatic 18th”.<br />
In May 2009 Son Gual hosted the Mallorca Senior Open<br />
with former Ryder Cup captain Ian Woosnam saying: “It’s a<br />
bit like Augusta. You’ve got to get the ball on the right side<br />
<strong>of</strong> the hole. Miss it on the wrong side and you’re dead.”<br />
The quality <strong>of</strong> conditioning on Son Gual is one <strong>of</strong> its<br />
attractions; another is the quality <strong>of</strong> the course;<br />
a further one is the sumptuous food in the clubhouse –<br />
the perfect ingredients for a great golfing day …<br />

Son Gual, el destacado campo del campeonato mundial de<br />
golf de 2014, fue inaugurado en 2007 y está clasificado en<br />
el puesto 44 del ranking mundial de golf en 2014 y coloca el<br />
campo de 30 m€, diseñado por Thomas Himmel, como espacio<br />
excepcional de Mallorca.<br />
Nacido del deseo de su propietario de que Mallorca tuviera<br />
un campo de golf digno de la soleada isla, Son Gual fue modelado<br />
de forma experta a partir de un estéril terreno agrícola.<br />
La transformación en un campo de categoría mundial,<br />
ha creado un espacio que dispone de grandes lagos,<br />
66 bunkers, 800 olivos, algunos de los cuales tienen más de<br />
mil años, flores silvestres en el rough y viñedos en varias áreas<br />
alrededor del campo. Incluye varios hoyos destacados y memorables,<br />
incluido un hoyo 18 descrito por un crítico como<br />
un „serio competidor para el mejor par cinco de Europa y el<br />
18 más espectacular de España“.<br />
En mayo de 2009, Son Gual acogió el Open Senior de Mallorca<br />
on el anterior capitán de la Ryder Cup, Ian Woosnam, diciendo:<br />
„Es parecido a Augusta. Tienes que colocar la bola en el lado<br />
correcto del hoyo. Ponla en el lado equivocado y estás acabado“.<br />
