Vall d'Or

Located on the Es Turó estate, the property of Mr. Antonio Lladó, the first golf club president, the Vall d'Or course was inaugurated in 1986 as a 9-holer. These fairways now form the back nine of the present 18-hole layout, following a course upgrade that was carried out in 1993.

Set out close to the sea in the municipality of Felanitx, around a 40-minute drive from the resorts of Cala Bona and Cala Millor, today’s course now extends to a modest 5,538 meters from the back tees, playing to a par of 71.

The older, tree-lined front nine features a brilliant par five at the 3rd hole. Starting from an elevated tee that offers spectacular views over the bay of Porto Colom, the hole veers downhill to the left, towards a green benched into a hillside on top of a rock boulder base.

The back nine holes are more open, allowing golfers the chance to wield the driver that probably stayed in the golf bag during the tighter front nine. The par three 18th is a tough finishing hole, despite its lack of yards, as its raised green – sitting in front of the stylish Vall d'Or clubhouse – will accept nothing other than the most precise of tee shots.
