Son Quint

Son Quint is the newest of the three 18-hole courses at the Arabella Golf and Spa Resort in Palma, Mallorca, and it made its debut in 2007. Son Vida, a Fred Hawtree design, was first on the scene in 1964 (the oldest course on the island) followed by Son Muntaner, which Kurt Rossknect fashioned in 2001.

An undulating, eminently walkable layout that offers sea views across the Bay of Palma’s sparkling waters, Son Quint is a gentler test than the other two Arabella courses but it still possesses the sort of challenge that will stretch the more accomplished golfer.

There are no giant sand traps or silly water hazards on the layout. Instead, holes are sensibly constructed through stands of pine and olive trees, with distances between green and next tee box kept to a minimum, encouraging golfers to walk the course.
