Andratx Golf Club
Andratx, Calvia, Mallorca, Spain
From the 1st tee to the 18th green the Andratx course presents a real challenge for all handicap levels. There are 7 strategically placed water hazards and the course has 43 white sand bunkers. It has typical Mallorquin stone walls both new and restored, adding a real local flavour to the surroundings. The course is irrigated with recycled water and natural rainwater from its own reservoir and desalinisation plant. The 6th hole (stroke index 1) is over 600 metres uphill. Left and right the green is guarded by deep bunkers. This, coupled with a beautiful waterfall left of the bunker and a severely sloping green make the hole a real challenge. There are breathtaking views of Camp de Mar and a backdrop to the Mediteranean sea from the 8th tee. A straight drive will gather speed on the downhill fairway making the second shot easier as the green is guarded by water to the left. Hole 14 (par 4) and hole 15 (par 3) seem quite harmless by appearance but a slight deviation to the right or left is fatal. The 18th hole is spectacular. The Royal Dorint Hotel awaits the wild drive to the left and to the right, the highway cuts in at driving distance. Water and the clubhouse line the left side with the 19th hole adjacent to the green. Behind the green awaits a deep bunker catching all approach shots which are overhit -- underhit finds the water. Two marshalls patrol the course ensuring the pace of play is always acceptable..
