The grass is always greener at Son Muntaner

Golf Son Muntaner, the flagship course at Arabella Golf Mallorca, has reopened following an extensive renovation to elevate the condition of the course to world class level.

The ambitious project – which took five months to complete – has seen every blade of grass replaced on the course, allowing members and visitors the chance to enjoy immaculate playing conditions all year round.

Every blade of green at Son Mutaner has been re-sewn with a new strain of bermuda grass that makes more efficient use of water and is more tolerant to hot weather

The majority of the course features Celebration Bermudagrass, a strikingly-coloured turf that has finished best in numerous university research studies for its sustainable performance in hot temperatures and impressive low-level water consumption levels.

The first resort in Europe to offer this new turf, Son Muntaner has also carried out an extensive renovation of all 18 greens, replacing the existing grass with exceptional new V8 creeping bent grass, which is renowned for its ability to provide lightning-fast putting surfaces.

Speaking about the renovation, Bernat Llobera, area director of Arabella Golf said: “One of the core values at Arabella Golf Mallorca is our commitment to delivering a world-class resort that constantly exceeds expectations. The innovative project that we have carried out to completely rejuvenate the course at Golf Son Muntaner is a clear example of our dedication to provide the very best facilities for our members and guests to enjoy. This work will strengthen our position as one of the very best golf resorts in Spain and our investment ensures that our conditioning is second to none across the continent.”

The course renovation, which was performed jointly with a refurbishment of the event centre and the clubhouse, is the second part of a major upgrade of the facilities at Arabella Golf Mallorca, which saw the opening of a new clubhouse at Golf Son Vida in 2016.
