Golf Son Muntaner, the flagship course at Arabella Golf Mallorca, has replaced every blade of grass and reopened following an extensive renovation.

The ambitious assignment took five months to complete and was carried out so that members and visitors could experience improved playing conditions all year round.

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

Golf Son Muntaner has also carried out an extensive renovation of all 18 greens, replacing the existing grass with V8 Creeping Bentgrass, which is renowned for its ability to provide fast putting surfaces.

Speaking about the renovation of the course, 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.”
