The closing hole sets the tone for Golf Son Vida. At 514 yards, the par 5 18th gives longer hitters the chance to go for the green in two, but water waits on the approach and makes a good finish dependent on the right decision from the fairway. This is a par 71 of 6,125 yards where placement and course management matter more than simply reaching for the driver. Fairways run through the residential Son Vida estate, with large homes framing a mature Palma layout that has been reshaped by Kurt Rossknecht since W. Hawtree’s original design. It has also stood up to European Tour competition, with Severiano Ballesteros winning here in 1990 and Barry Lane four years later.
The clubhouse restaurant and bar provide an easy place to regroup after the round, whether the conversation is about taking on the 18th in two or choosing the safer route around the water. Golf Son Vida carries a 59club Silver Flag for its service standards and is part of the same Palma collection as Son Muntaner and Son Quint, giving a stay in the Son Vida area the scope for varied rounds without spending the holiday in transit. The course is open to players with a minimum handicap of 54, with cleated golf shoes required and metal spikes not permitted.
