The 645-yard 10th on Santa Ponsa I sets the tone for a round that rewards proper course management. From the white tees, this par 5 is one of Europe’s longest holes, demanding two well-struck shots before the green is even a realistic consideration. The full course is a par 72 extending to 7,155 yards, laid out across 73 hectares of broad fairways, lakes and mature olive, pine and almond trees. Designed by Folco Nardi with input from Pepe Gancedo, it has the scale and examination of a tournament course, having welcomed the European PGA Tour on seven occasions. There is room from the tee in places, but water and the length of the better holes mean a score depends on choosing when to attack rather than simply reaching for the driver.
Santa Ponsa I is supported by a 273-yard driving range with more than 50 grass bays, including covered positions, along with a chipping area and two putting greens. Buggy, trolley and club hire are available, and the pro shop is close to the Caddy Master, where the current bar and café arrangement provides a straightforward place for a drink after the round while the hotel is refurbished. Palma de Mallorca Airport is 19 miles away, around 25 minutes by car, while Palma itself is 12 miles from the club, making it easy to combine golf with an evening in the city.
