Rude, Arrogant and condescending!
Reviewed April 3, 2016
I took my 11 year old son to play Santa Ponsa1 which was spoiled by an overly rude gentleman in the pro shop. If you are looking for an overall experience avoid this place. This one person ruined a good trip.

Nice round in summer temperatures
Reviewed November 28, 2023
Santa Ponsa I played on November 21st, 2023.22 degrees, blue sky, 3 flight, playing time 3 hours 45 min.
A really nice round of golf in summer temperatures in Santa Ponsa I.
Flat place that is very easy to walk on. Cart absolutely not necessary.
Fairways good for the season... only the T-boxes could use a little more care and attention from the greenkeepers and some greens unfortunately have extreme fungal infestation and therefore require a lot of sand for repairs.
Nevertheless, it was great fun and the score was good too.
PS: Gastro is a "better kiosk" but serves tapas and small bites with delicious vino.
PS:PS: no locker rooms for showering!! :-(

Santa Ponsa 1 - long slope
Reviewed October 11, 2023
I have to revise my review from 2016 a bit, I probably had a bad day of golf back then!
The layout of the fairways is very appealing, I really liked holes 2,13 and 16. The old olive trees are very beautiful; there is a tree in the middle of the fairway on hole 1. Small streams and water also come into play again and again.
This course is also extremely long from the penultimate tee, yellow, at par 72.6,219 m!
Hole 10, par 5 from yellow 560 m, from white 590 m!!
Greens are partly the drawback, green 2 with large bare spots, other greens are also not quite right and some have different types of grass. This shouldn't be the case.
Fairways okay, bunkers with heavy sand and therefore difficult to play.
Another points deduction for the non-existent clubhouse and no showers.

Good Golf Course
Reviewed October 21, 2022
SP Is one of the older courses on the island and you can tell that the architect has delivered a really good design here. It is not for nothing that the European Tour has held tournaments here for over 30 years.
The holes are quite long, many doglegs and strategic bunkers defend the greens, which are mostly a bit elevated. But the place leaves enough room in the drive zones and is never unfair. Elevated discounts are just fun and the quality of the fairways and greens gave no cause for complaint. The greens are fast but no glass plates.
What I like best is that the course plays you from a single source, no holes squeezed in, all holes are of quality and you can also walk the course wonderfully because it is quite flat. Just fun if you have the necessary length in your game to be able to reach the greens.
A nice championship course, not as good as T-Golf or Alcanada, but highly recommended.
Above all, the price-performance ratio is right here, which unfortunately cannot be said about most other places on Mallorca. Good service in the small pro shop and the bistro.

OK, but no more
Reviewed March 6, 2022
Considering that the Challenge Tour only played on the course in November, I was a bit disappointed with the condition of the fairways, but the greens were in perfect condition.
Unfortunately, the makeshift restaurant with the comfortable but very rusty chairs does not invite you to stay longer.
It is recommended for players playing the course for the first time to buy a birdie book. There are some holes where the water hazards are not visible.

Because the European Tour will be a guest in a few weeks, the Semi Roug will not be mowed. Balls are as good as lost if they are not on the road.. The greens were not in good condition. You can play but there are better places on Mallorca.

The place has probably seen better days and needs a makeover in some places. The design of the course is really nice and the current condition of the fairways and greens is okay. The buggy was not in good condition. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Halfway house well integrated into the course and with a good offer. SP 1 can be played with pleasure as a normal golfer. We found it pleasant and relaxed on this place.

Dear HeinrichG, I am sorry that you had to suffer the bad state of the greens. The greens had a desease and we are working in getting them back to their usual standard. We hope that in 10-12 days they will be back in good shape. At the same time, when you came, the situation was explained to you before play, you were given a special discount because of this situation, and you were also offered the possibility of a reinbursement if after a few holes, you decided not to continue playing.
We hope to see you soon again on the course so that you will see that this has all been solved.

Bad maintenance reduces the pleasure of playing
Reviewed July 17, 2019
We have let ourselves be shown from a place, what makes up for improvement care a bad impression.
Some greens look like bomb fields.
Fairways alternately decomposed with weeds or dryness.
The grass edges at the bunkers not cut.
Make greens are soft and do not roll the ball, the next ones are rock hard and the ball jumps.
The layout, however, shows that the course has a lot of potential and not unfairly held big tournaments.

Extraordinary business conduct:
Santa Ponsa already booked in February 19 for 12 players for the June 19.
As security a credit card with all data was deposited.
Since 2o years we have paid on all golf courses when registering on the day of the game individual green fee.
Santa Ponsa charged 30 days!!! before the game date the account, in this case with about 1.000, - EU!!!
This practice is actually on the back of the booking confirmation.
No more Santa Ponsa

The place is neglected. What bothered us most was that for newcomers like us, it was not clear how the trains went. The signage is bad, only barely legible tiles on the tees. Sporty and scenic ok, but 55.- € for 9 holes for the place too expensive.

Attractive place
Reviewed April 10, 2018
This place is very interesting to play, has a very good and varied layout, which often requires strategic game. The fairways are wide enough, unfortunately not always in the best condition. The course integrates nicely with the surroundings, often appearing a bit natural. The greens were in excellent condition, fast and consistent. The clubhouse is not very inviting from the outside, but has a nice terrace with pool. The staff is sufficiently friendly. Price-performance ratio basically okay, a place that you can play well, but in Mallorca no "must play"

Santa Ponsa 1, Rating 14.03.2018
Reviewed March 14, 2018
Played there today: It is quite an imposition, what a lousy quality the guests is expected, a golf course is not, rather a pig meadow. The seemingly legendary time, which the club still boasts in its homepage, has long since faded. If you look at the club house, the façade (where the plaster will fall off), the terrace and also the enclosure of the pool, at the two last named grows the weeds in an abundance between the ancient washed concrete slabs, as you have to draw the conclusion, that the club is either financially bankrupt or does not care about the well-being of the guests. A star is already more than well rated.

Summer 2017
Reviewed July 24, 2017
Due to the rather bad reviews, which I do not share, I decided to give my opinion: Despite the high summer weather the places are in very good condition. I like the seats. Santa Ponsa II and III can only be played as and / or with club members. Beautifully landscaped in the pinewood, one finds in Santa Ponsa ll with 14 lanes pleasant shade. Sure, if you do not hit fairways, it is dry next to the tracks. The Greens also in good condition.
Also in the clubhouse one receives friendly.

We virtually lived around the corner, we have the "home court", Santa Ponsa 1, played. Probably for the last time. Not because he's such a bad place. He is just only average. In particular. Course maintenance, greens and staff. And when you half a dozen super has courses within, one does not really play Santa Ponsa. As we have heard from 2er nothing better, we will omit the.

The disappointment is very big. Everything is getting old. Receiving both a joke, at p P 2 sitting the employees in a better barracks. The carts and trolleys in a very bad condition.. The friendliness of the staff left a lot to be desired. The state poorly in both places. The offer in Mallorca at very good places with great location status and friendly staff is so great, as you can on Santa Ponsa 1 + 2 very well without. save money and play a different course.
The owner should once again accept and invest money in hand.

The greens are still eingermassen ok; but not especially loyal. The breaks are often not understood and not to read. The rest: Well! Fairways not mowed, no clear Selirough, many bald patches, no Vorgreens, rock hard bunker. The game very slow, toilet in the hotel 500 meters away. Actually, you are not welcome and could send the money without playing ;-). Def The money. not worth.

Reasonable condition for this season
Reviewed September 13, 2014
We play the course for several years. In this September, the quality of the fairways is ok, but not extraordinary. The extremely short grass and hard ground on the fairways allow good fellings, but are for short iron blows a huge challenge. Chips, pitches and normal beats with iron 8.9 must be made extremely accurately, otherwise threatening trouble. The greens are very dull. The Bunker mostly hard. The place is quite playable this time of year, but requires at distances of less than 120 meters of a change of strategy (rather than a short chip and roll full impact). Price / performance is barely enough.

Santa Ponca 1 - No must play!
Reviewed January 3, 2014
Even if one should certainly not complain as North German winter on the state of greens and fairways, so this place is in relation to the other places we have played at this season in my opinion to settle at the bottom.
In addition, little exciting to holes, so from my point of view too expensive, even in winter!

Place: The place was well maintained for this season. The greens were slow and einwenig some are brown spots on the fairways make out (but was not large disturbing). Wide fairways. The course can go on foot. Not very sophisticated from the musical level ago. Power but still fun.
Gastronomy: good tapas and nice terrace. Cute and attentive service (compared to other places in Spain)
The only negative point was the long waiting times on the tea's. The Secretariat reviewed the handicaps hardly.
All in all, definitely worth a visit.

Gastro better than the place
Reviewed June 27, 2013
Played on 24.06.13 A place that is well suited for a comfortable round of golf. Single Handicapper be less get their money, as players> 25 because the mostly wide fairways and lack of Rough forgive mistakes. Water rarely comes into play, but rather serves decorative purposes.
Bordered by mature trees, the plant is in good condition care, but lasting impressions they do not leave. You can play more than once to the place safely, but the green fee of about 100 € - like almost everything covered in Mallorca. Through various hotels to get discounts on 70-75 €, which is still ok. Large differences in height are missing, so that you can go at higher temperatures on foot.
Who wants to play in the morning, should come quickly over the web, because the flights play in close time sequence. If you like it cozy, should resort to noon. Noteworthy is the club house only 100 meters away, which is connected to a small hotel. It is very good for a short golf trip, if you can refrain from 4-5 stars. On the beautiful terrace and the club welcoming Innnräumen much friendliness serves a fine and varied cuisine with (especially for Spanish standards). Alone there have a meal (the wok dishes and fresh fish), well worth the visit SaPonsa. Therefore 4 stars instead of 3!

Helical on highway
Reviewed March 8, 2013
For the first two holes, we have 45 minutes needed on the seventh hole of 4 three flights arrived at the tee and reported on the court experienced which, it should always be, a round under five hours they had never experienced before. After all, we do have scarce six. Looking at the game ball delays could in any case not have been. Even the worst slicer meets the broad, but unkempt fairways here. At most, the few water hazards constitute a risk. Single greatest difficulty: make the length of some holes that GIR impossible for the average player.

Ok for Mallorca
Reviewed March 14, 2012
Fairways correspond to the normal average in Mallorca. Greens very nice and well maintained. Compared to most other places at this season very slowly. Advancement is somewhat a matter of luck because no Marshal ensures good speed. Some holes for men from yellow very long, while women have to play from red partially against 80 meters less. Quite interesting, albeit unspectacular holes. Flat system, which can be handled well by foot. Course not worth the League Alcanada, Son Muntaner and Son Gual, but quite a round.

Santo Ponsa I, we played in March 2011 and were not thrilled. If everything is green and blooming in Mallorca, why is growing there on the fairways only now and then a little grass, and how does this square until the summer?! The greens were ok.
Also, it is for a Spanish 4-flight principle not possible to play through a faster 2-Flight? What led us to a perceived duration of a tight game day! In addition, we have never seen such ugly concrete water hazards on a golf course.
