I'm a golf nut and most of my trips to PP these days are for golfing purposes. I've had some great fun playing all over the island. My user name is not a reference to where I am based when I'm out there, it is a tribute to one of my favorite golf courses in the world, and one that is on the doorstep of anyone based in the Pollensa area.
I think others on this thread have covered the 9 hole course at Pollensa. The last time I played there it was in a shocking state, but I'm sure it's recovered. I have had some great fun on there whilst on family holidays. You can slip off for a couple of hours without disrupting the day. As I said earlier these days I'm normally out there on a golf trip and I prefer some of the other options.
It's true that the green fees are quite expensive during the Spring and Autumn and Alcanada is probably close to being top of the price list, perhaps second only to Son Gual. Both of them are stunning golf courses and it is a delight to play them. Andratx is also expensive, it's an interesting course but not worth the green fee in my opinion.
However there are some better priced options around although none are what I would call cheap. In the 70 Euro bracket you can play Son Termens and Maioris. I like both and it's well worth checking out the Maioris twighlight deal. I played it for 35 Euros in April because I teed off after 1 'o' clock! I haven't tried either of the Son Atem courses but I think they are around the same price mark. Canyamel is a great course and about 80 Euros a round. From memory Capdepera and Puntiro are similarly priced and both of those are good fun if not sensational.
As Shotokan said Pula has dropped its green fees considerably and can be played for 65 Euros. Pula hosted a proper European tour event earlier this year and the winner was Darren Clarke, rumour has it he picked up another win a month or two after that...
I do not like Bendinat or Poniente but that is just my opinion of course. There are 3 courses in the Son Vida set up. I played Son Vida itself when I was a teenager and can't remember much about it, and I haven't played the other two. I think the green fees at these are ok if you are staying in the Son Vida
hotel but otherwise pricy. I don't know anything at all about the courses at Santa Ponsa and if anyone has any opinions on these, Vall D'or or the Son Atem courses I would be interested to hear them.
Sorry for the length of my post!
