VILLAGES OF MALLORCA

 SON SERVERA

:::: Son Servera ::::

Son Servera enjoys a small yacht harbour in Cala Bona, which may accommodate boats with up to three-metre draft, in other words, a small docking zone for the local residents. Cala Bona’s major charm is the contrast between its two neighbouring communities, Cala Millor and Costa de los Pinos. These are two heavily developed tourist centres.
A small and modest lighthouse is located at the end of the Cala Bona; it is a nice seaside sight after a pleasant stroll along the port.

Golf Son Servera: The Son Servera Golf Course was one of the first to be constructed in Majorca. Now days it is perfectly well preserved besides being situated in a privileged site surrounded by mountains and having forests next to the roads leading to the greens. Besides, it is near the beach, and the sea breeze relieves from the extreme heat of the summer. It is an 18-hole course and a par 72. Most fairways are narrow and the greens, situated between pine trees, are fast. It was designed by John  Harris and was opened in 1967. Son Servera is located on the northern coast of the island at a distance of 71 kilometres from Palma.

Pula Golf: The Pula Golf Club is one of the most prestigious of the island since it has become a social event besides being a splendid golf course. The club's restaurant, s'Era de Pula, is frequently visited by members of the Spanish Royas Family. The course was designed by Francisco López Segalés and was opened in 1995. It has a total length of 6003 metres, is rather flat and has excellent views of the mountains and the sea. Pula Golf is situated on the road of Son Servera to Capdepera at about seventy kilometres from Palma.

Golf Canyamel: The Canyamel Golf Course has 18 holes and is 6080 metes long. The design of the course is magnificent since the first nine holes are situated on hills receiving directly the ocean breeze, making the course most pleasant. The next nine greens are on flatter ground and allow players to show their game. The Majorca style club building dominates part of the course. The mountains of the municipality of Artà, on which the club facilities are built, dominated the rest of the course, creating a spectacular background scenery.

Golf Capdepera: The Golf Course at Capdepera is the most recent in Majorca since it was opened in 1991. It is situated at 70 km from Palma, surrounded by mountains and far away from any built up area, which could interfere in the ideal scenery. The course has 18 holes and has a total length of 6284 metres long; Dan Maples designed it. A long the rounde are six artificial lakes. The club's main building is built in a typical Majorca style, and its restaurant offers an excellent cuisine; a tasty way to end a golf journey.

Golf Vall d'Or: This golf course was initially opened in 1985 with nine holes but has recently been increased to 18. As a matter of fact holes number 10 to 18 wew the original first nine. The course is 5799 metres long and is situated next to the road of Santanyí at 65 km from Palma. The first greens (designed by Bradford Benz) are found on hills surrounded by forests, which makes their appearance quite impressive. The rest of the course (designed by Billy Bandly) is undulated and very peculiar being demarcated by olive trees and palm trees. The views from the club's terraces are certainly breathtaking.
