Tips from the author:

  1. The nearest course is about 20 minutes from Binissalem.  Always call and book before you go.  It’s a pity to drive somewhere for half an hour and then find out there is a members’ tournament or that the course is booked out. If you are staying at either Scott’s Hotel and don’t speak Spanish, they will be happy to  make a reservation for you and get you a tee time.
  2. Rent a buggy on the hilly courses.
  3. If you’re a new player on Mallorca I would recommend the following courses in this order:  Son Antem, Son Termens, Canyamel and Pollensa.  They are all easy to find.  They also will give you an idea of the variety of courses on the island.  During your next visit play what you liked and try some of the others.

Enjoy your game!
