Characteristics

This course is rather suitable for ambitious golfers, since the difficulties exasperate a unpractised player very fast. Hilly fairways with a fantastic view over the landscape belie the true pitfalls of this course. Rapid greens, unfriendly roughs and partly rugged landscape stir the blood of ambitious golfers.

Space layout very good, but many deficiencies in maintenance

Hole 1 is a par 3, with an elevated green, an exciting opening hole, the pine forest comes, rather “kalle”, only later!
Unfortunately, the bad part begins on hole 2 or its fairway. There are some very large bare patches on the fairways, which also spread over the rest of the fairways.

Rating: Course layout/fairways 5 stars, fairways and tees 2 stars, greens 2 stars because extremely slow and not mowed. Was today's Spanish national holiday (October 12th) the reason why the greenkeepers didn't work?
Unfortunately, only the yellow and red tees were set, but some were played by white and blue respectively.

Very nice holes 4 and 15, each par 3s.

Nice clubhouse, good gastro, great terrace.

Simply good

Start in the pine forest, then go to the more open hilly terrain!
Partly with good length real chances for a top score! Val d'Or has flair and is a really good golf course!

... demanding...

We were last on the island to play golf 14 years ago, it took a while before we dared to visit again. These time intervals reflect the importance that the island has to us in terms of golf. Our first visit was in the 90's.

Back then - more than 20 years ago - he counted as the best on the Balearic Islands, he was also the first we played. The courses Alcanada, Son Gual and Puntiro did not exist yet.

Now he couldn't keep this ranking, he is also no longer represented in the Top 100 List of Spain - it's a mile long in relation to the total offer anyway, on the Balearic Islands even longer! We don't know of any country in which the top 100 list shows greater distortions than Spain. More than 25 resorts have dropped from the list in the last three years - Vall d'Or is one of them. This fact has hardly - or at least in very few cases - anything to do with the work on the layout, but is primarily due to the work on course maintenance.

The course was originally built as a 9 hole course - in the 1960's - by Brad Benz. He revised it in 1993 and built 9 additional holes.

He cannot completely hide this development, as the back nine are much more open. It is a course with surprisingly few bunkers, which are only necessary to a limited extent, the terrain makes for target golf and makes some hoyos very difficult. The driver was given a break on the front nine, long irons and small woods were the right weapons. He was able to work on the back nine, which are 150 meters longer and more open.

The course is not that long - 5540 meters/par 71 - and difficult to play if it weren't for the proper terrain transitions, several greens are high and therefore blind. The average length of the Hoyos is less than 310 meters. Ironically, Hoyo 2/par 4 is the most difficult with a length of 319 meters and the rather small green - very unusual. This shows how the terrain can unfold its effect, only two hoyos are shorter. Likewise, three of the five par 3s are below average in terms of length.

If the ground is soft there is a lot of work and the hoyos get heavy and long - that's our note from the last visit - just before there was decent rainfall.

We weren't entirely satisfied with the course maintenance - it's decent - the work and attention to detail is lacking in some places. In fact, they still have to invest a lot of work in the greens until they are top.

In terms of location and layout, Vall d'Or is still the best in the East. The views over the bay of Porto Colom are great.

It's only enough for three stars - unfortunately - it's due to the maintenance. Nevertheless, it was great fun to be here again.

From our point of view, the numerous one and two-star ratings are frustration ratings, so we allow ourselves to refer to our ABAMA rating - partly on our own behalf.
