13 THE VENUE In The North East of Mallorca, by the town of Son Servera, is Pula Golf, a complex which combines golf, cuisine and a hotel in a pleasant, exceptional and exclusive setting which is at the same time very personal and unique. Surrounded by nature parks around the town of Son Servera and the bay of Cala Millor, lies the prestigious Pula Golf course. It is an 18- hole that has become one of the most important courses in the Island of Mallorca and has been the venue for international tournaments. And to spend some time relaxing, there is the Café de Pula, a place where you can have a drink in the elegant main hall or on the terrace with panoramic views over the golf course. Or you might enjoy an exquisite, specially ordered private meal. Very close to Pula, in SonServera, Cala Millor, Cala Bona and the Costa de los Pinos, or in Capdepera and Cala ratjada (just 10 minutes away by car), there is a wide variety gourmet dining options, with an accent of meats, fish and fresh seafood of the highest quality.

14 Pula Golf was founded in 1995 and completely redesigned by José María Olazábal between 2004 and 2006 in order to satisfy the demands of international and professional golf. It has been transformed into a large and neat golf course, par 72 of 6.246m and par 70 for professionals. The large Driving-Range can be used from both sides with one side covered. The Short Game area offers one large Chipping green, one pitching green for shots up to 30 meters and one Pitching green for shots up to 65 meters. Two Putting-Greens right next to the Clubhouse round up the practice area. Pula Golf has become the scene of very important events like the PGA European Tour Championships Mallorca, Mallorca Skin Games or Olazábal & Nadal Invitational, among others. Bourdy, Hanson, Jiménez, Gonzalo Fernández Castaño, Álvaro Quirós, Olazábal, Darren Clarke, Molinari, Kaymer, Sergio García, Rafael Nadal and Pep Guardiola are some of the great personalities that have played in Pula Golf.
