Maioris

Romeo Sala Massanaet, who developed the Pula Golf complex in the north east quarter of Mallorca in the mid-1990s, was the entrepreneur who then created Golf Maioris a decade later. He tasked Dieter Cabus (the Pula professional) with fashioning the course here and it’s fair to say he succeeded in spectacular style, constructing a very polished 18-hole layout.

Set out on a gently undulating landscape, the course measures just over 6,350 metres from the back tees, with fairways routed through stands of pine, olive and carob trees. Six of the holes skirt around intimidating water features, with five of these played on the more testing back nine.

The 457-metre 4th is the signature hole at Golf Maioris. The first of the par five holes on the course, it doglegs left and slightly uphill to an island green which is also guarded by sand to the back right hand corner of the putting surface. A par here is the sort of satisfying score that will set you up for the rest of the round.
