Karen Margrethe Juul was staying at the Mallorca Marriott Son Antem Golf Resort & Spa in November with a ladies golf group from Denmark. Following she describes the impressions after the first day.

All the girls arrived from Denmark on Sunday afternoon and were checked-in at Marriott Son Antem Golf Resort & Spa. Most of them were tired after the long journey that began at 5 am. at Kastrup airport, but a few very enthusiastically hurried out on the practice facilities.

I arrived a little later as I came from India, so I just had the time to say hello to all the girls before I passed out in my bed. Usually in regards to Spanish beds you think of a sheet and a blanket, but here in the Marriott, we have a soft bed with an amazing feather comforter. I slept like a baby after the long journey from Delhi.
Monday we had breakfast at 8 am, and we were surprised by a breakfast buffet with everything your heart – or should I say stomach – could desire. With a long day in front of us we needed a lot of energy, though.

At 9 am. all the girls started hitting balls at the driving range, and I had a good look at each individual swing. Most of the girls are swinging it really well, but there is also room for improvement. Fortunately we had a space reserved for us at range.
We had a short lunch, before playing the West course at around 13 o’clock. It’s not a very long course, but it’s narrow and has some very challenging holes.

I thought it was a perfect course for the girls to play, and even though the greens were a little spiked up late in the afternoon, they were still very fast. The last group didn’t have time to finish the 18 th hole, because of darkness, but apart from that I think the girls had a wonderful day.

Everyone was well used after a long and inspiring day, so we had the Spanish menu at the hotel. Everyone had their stories from the day, so there was a lot of golf talk going on. Marianne Lauritsen was chosen as “Today’s Winner”. Not because she shoot the lowest score, but because she made a birdie, where I only made par, and because she was sent away from the range to take a mental break, and she did that immediately without complaining and came back a lot better.

With more than 20 golf courses and a good network of flight connections, Mallorca is one of the most popular golf destinations in Europe. Our two 18 hole Son Antem Golf Courses are surrounded by nature and our Golf Academy offers classes for beginners and experienced players.

Our two golf courses are only 5 minutes away if you are staying at the Mallorca Marriott Son Antem Golf Resort & Spa. The East Course was built on an old hunting property and you will see plenty of birds and other animals during your golf round. People say that the east course with its wide fairways and flat greens is more suitable for beginners and intermediate players but many experienced players also enjoy playing this course.

The Championship Course Son Antem West is more challenging and has breathtaking views of the Randa mountain. Golfers need a handicap of 35 (ladies) and 27 (gentlemen) to play the course. In November last year one of the PGA Tour of Spain Tournaments took place here. We were delighted to host one of the most important national golf tournaments in the world, this time won by Jesús María Arruti.
