Mallorcan course voted No1 in Europe

Saturday, 15 Mar, 2013 0

Readers of the German magazine Golf Journal have voted Club de Golf Alcanada, in the north of Mallorca, their favourite course in Europe for a fifth successive year.

The magazine’s annual travel awards are regarded as the German ‘golf Oscars’.

The Robert Trent Jones Jnr-designed layout came top of the poll to find the favourite European course outside of Germany, and beat another Mallorcan course, Son Gual, into second place.

Mallorca itself came second in the poll to find the most popular golfing destination, just behind the Turkish resort of Belek.

Alcanada is founder member, along with Son Gual, of the Leading Golf Courses of Spain group.

Adjacent to the Mediterranean, the 6,499-metre course blends naturally into the typical Mallorcan terrain and takes its name from an island with a lighthouse which is situated just off the shore, which can be seen from most of the holes.
