Course Layout of Son Antem East
The layout of Son Antem East features wide fairways that make driving easier, with flat greens that are easy to read. Built on former hunting grounds, the course is laid out in two loops that start and end near the resort clubhouse.
Native flora lines the front nine holes, while the back nine opens up among old olive and carob trees, creating varied but easy-to-walk terrain. Five well-placed lakes add beauty and challenge, with water affecting play on several holes.
The overall design favours accuracy over distance, making it a great choice for those looking for 18-hole golf courses in Mallorca.
Son Antem East Challenges
While easy for higher handicappers and beginners, Son Antem East still offers challenges that demand strategic play from experienced golfers.
The thick rough borders the wide fairways, so you need accurate tee shots to avoid trouble. Bunkers are placed carefully to guard the greens, and the lakes test your decision-making, especially on the final holes.
New Bermuda grass and rebuilt bunkers have made the course play better while keeping it challenging. Experienced players will appreciate the need to utilise their full bag of clubs to ensure a rewarding round on this versatile Mallorca golf course.

The course has several signature holes that give it character. Hole 15, often considered the best par-4, challenges golfers with a green protected by two water hazards, requiring accurate shots to the green in a beautiful setting.
Hole 5, another highlight, is a dogleg-left par-4 where players must navigate undulating terrain and a right-side bunker to reach the green. Additionally, holes 7, 8, and 16 have lakes, with hole 8 requiring a carry over water on a par-3.
