Golf Son Vida is the oldest golf course on the island of Mallorca, part of the Balearic Islands in Spain, having originally opened for play in 1964. The course is renowned for being the most beautiful spot on the island, with stunning views across the bay.
The holes here are varied and though the fairways are relatively tight from the tee and widening on the approach, it makes for an interesting round for all levels of golfer.

0800 043 6644Golf Son Vida is the most traditional course on Mallorca. A legend among players from all over Europe having hosted European Tour events in the 1990's.
The layout received a shot in the arm in 2001 when esteemed golf architect Kurt Rossknecht reworked the entire course, but the recent work has not detracted from the original F.W. Hawtree design, put in place in the early 1960s.
The course is certainly easy on the eye, as the fairways are bordered by many species of beautiful trees, including palm, pine and almond.
With fabulous mountain and sea views, Son Vida has it all, and is definitely a favourite of regular golf travellers to the island of Mallorca.

Most enjoyable of the three
Enjoyed the round, preferred the back nine to the front nine
This was a good course but not the one we had originally been down to play 🤔
Tight course. But great condition.
Fantastic course with some stunning holes. Highly recommend booking an electric buggy or trolley though as it is quite hilly in places
We had issues with the buggies, intermittently cutting out or losing power and at least one buggy did not have the satnav
Golf course good condition, facilities before we teed off where good, however one of our groups only got to play 10 holes as the local teaching pro jumped in front of them on the 10th hole to teach 6 people. Therefore the group were waiting and decided to come in as it was taking too long. Also The 10th hole bar was shut at 4pm for all our groups, so we also could not get any drinks on the course and because of this the remaining groups came in after 13 holes due to dehydration.
Great course - well manicured - Well organsised - Caddy Master very good quality of buggies with Sat Nav - Slow round as was out with a couple that were very new to golf.
Nice clean clubs after
Excellent condition unfortunately. We had cash stolen on the course
Beautiful course with some interesting par 3’s.
Quite frankly you should remove this course from your recommendations. It was in very poor condition, there were some really silly holes ( the 10th in particular) and anyone is allowed to play irrespective of their ability. 2 balls mixed in with 3 & 4 balls just clogged up the course and we waited on every hole - 5 hours 35 minutes for the round. All Marshall’s were totally ineffective and did nothing to speed up play. The green fee they charge off the road is ludicrous. Never again !!
Good reverting sorted, buggies good, hal way stop at the 10th Good value
Least favourite course out of the 3 but still good.
Played there before and it’s a decent course but due the the recent storms wasn’t great and a 90 minute delay for our tee time wasn’t perfect.
Just too many holes that require 8 iron off the tee to play to a dog leg. Back 6 holes were good.
Wife was happy must be good
Enjoyed the course. Held up by slow groups in front
Very tight course , not for average golfers , bring lots of balls
Quite a testing, interesting course, narrow in places with some tricky pin placements. Made us think a lott more. Again, good clubhouse.
Was not informed of work to greens prior to leaving considering the work started 9 days before we left. Like putting on brick weave
Lovely course, very fair to club golfers. Greens had recently been spiked and treated which seriously affected putting!
Nice course Would play again.
Course in good condition although greens had recently been cored so a bit uneven
great course - super fast greens - no driving range
Our favourite of the three “Son” courses, well presented with a great variety of holes providing a challenging yet enjoyable round.
Good course in very good condition.
Really enjoyed it
Did not have one buggy until playing third hole, tees not in good shape, uneven, bunkers lack sand in bottom. Greens ok.
Bit wet in places but an interesting course
One of the best courses we have played in our travels and very enjoyable. Outstanding layout, tricky, challenging, scenic, and excellent condition. Without doubt the best course for our week in Mallorca and one we hope to return to in the future. Arriving home, the next week we watched the Mallorca Open 2022 from Son Muntaner and I would claim Son Vida was equal quality.
Great course with excellent mixture of tight and wide holes. A good golfing challenge and we’ll worth a return
Everyone. Enjoyed the day
Good especially the second round when we knew what to expect
We enjoyed the course but the course not in good condition . Overplayed. We thought
All good but the taxi didn't pick us up on the first day so had to make our own way there luckily Taxis were available outside the Hotel
This course has a bit more character and the greens were a little slower, but a lovely course
Course in excellent condition. Pmay a little slow.
They had over watered the whole course so it was very wet.
enjoyed
One of the best , has git better with age and the new bar is superb.
Couple of poor holes on the course which let it down a bit but ideal lads holiday course. Check in at the course was poor very little info given to us and nowhere to get a coffee until the bar opened at 11am
Fantastic. Best if the three courses with many options on how to play the course
Absolutely loved this course
Same comments as for Son Gual
When 16 people pay the money that we paid we don't expect hollowtined greens and course maintenance. Of course the round was quick when it is pointless putting out.
Lovely course excellent condition very pretty, fairways and greens excellent.
Same as before no good for disable golfers told couldn’t go on fairways with buggy even though had medical letter but then saw other golfers on fairways with buggy all these courses are discriminating against disable golfers
Excellent golf course which will sort all handicaps
Beautiful!
Excellent holiday golf course, not too difficult and in good condition. It was very hot and you do need a buggy, but there were none available, so clients should be warned to book in advance.
excellent course, great condition - only minor point was that there were limited practise facility (small putting green and nets - no range) - some very tight driving holes
No driving range,some bunkers not recently raked.
Lovely day here , sun out for first time. Really helpful caddy staff and cleaning of clubs complimentary. Just beat a German bus full of golfers to check -in . Super luck.
Best course of the trip lots of different types of challenges very tight but great to play
Amazing Golf Course. Could not fault it!
Nice course, narrow on the front 9, more forgiving on the back. Nice variety of holes.
Enjoyed the course - the only downside being their restaurant / cafeteria facilities did not open until 11.00 am
Quirky layout. Some really good holes, particularly the par 3s which mostly play hugely downhill. Greens were rapid when putting from above the hole. Greens were also tiny! Would recommend - overall a really enjoyable round.
Very near Airport noise
Son Vida played it about 20 times it’s just a lovely course
Tee boxes were a little shabby as were the greens, but overall it was OK
Very slow, took nearly 5 hours to do the round then the club house was closed when we finally got back
Tight course in places , greens were in poor condition.Buggies booked and paid for via YGT but none available for my group of 15. Not happy.
Interesting, but not terrifying holes suitable for golfers of all levels. Great condition and great views.
Lovely course. In quite good condition and quite well maintained. Disappointed that there was no driving range for a warm up. Friendly staff.
Great course. Short and technically challenging, really fun experience. Looks like the the oldest of the Arabella group. Greens and fairways in perfect condition in mid July.
Much improved from 4 years ago, now very worth while playing.
Enjoyed the course except for ground works on the fairway
Poor green, loads of picth marks. Uncut fairways, very long grass. No halfway hut open and not drinks buggie.
Fantastic course beautiful scenery and could not fault the course on anything thank you. Big shout also to transbeler transfer company done a great job and also Joe at YOURGOLF TRAVEL thank you once again
When wet no buggy allowed on fairways making this a long course even with a buggy walked 4.6 miles
Old established course with nice layout and features. Very enjoyable.
Very much enjoyed the course
Very nice. Landscaping very good. Excellent staff services.
Very wet condition over the previous two week and course had suffered
Holiday course.Good for high handicappers.2 balls forced to play with non party 2 balls- not ideal. Short course
Like Son Quint a good round of golf and satisafactory
Just behind Son Muntaner in ratings so if the greens and fairways had been cut at Son Quint the 3 courses were very good and great value. Santa Ponsa 1 needs a big makeover to catch up
