Real Golf de Bendinat asks for placement before power. At 6,190 yards from the back tees and playing to par 70, Martin Hawtree’s 18-hole layout works through a wooded valley where mature trees tighten the visual line from the tee, changes in level alter the club required, and bunkers and well-guarded greens put a premium on a controlled approach. The fairways have a gently rolling feel, with climbs between some holes that make a buggy a sensible choice on a warm Mallorca afternoon. It is a course where good course management carries real value, particularly when the trees, lakes and slopes begin to influence the safer route home. Between the sea and the mountains, the round also opens out to views across Palma Bay, Cabrera and Bendinat Castle.
A driving range, putting green and chipping area make it easy to settle into the pace of the course before teeing off. The clubhouse sits beside the first tee, with changing rooms, showers, a pro shop, club hire, trolleys and buggies all close at hand. Afterwards, Eagle Restaurant is the natural place to linger. Its terrace and dining room face the 18th hole and Bendinat Castle, while the kitchen serves fresh, local style dishes alongside selected menus. There is also a bar and café for a quieter drink after the round, plus a relaxation area within the clubhouse.
The course lies in the Bendinat urbanisation near Calvià, around 6 miles from Palma de Mallorca, a drive of roughly 15 minutes. Palma de Mallorca Airport is about 12 miles away, with the journey taking approximately 25 minutes, so it is an easy first or last round on a Mallorca golf break.
