Mallorca is known for its stunning landscapes, vibrant and diverse culture and luxurious resorts, but it’s not just the beaches and nightlife that make this Mediterranean gem a popular destination. Golf enthusiasts from around the globe now flock here to enjoy the island’s world class courses and at the heart of it all is T Golf and Country Club.
Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Tramuntana mountains, just 12km from the buzzing city of Palma, T Golf Club Calvia offers much more than just fairways and greens. The course was originally the work (and some would argue, finest masterpiece) of famed designer, John Harris, in 1978. After a near two-year renovation project, it is back to its original splendour and then some. One of the first things that will strike you when you arrive at the club is the breathtaking scenery – nestled within a picturesque valley, surrounded by rolling hills and olive groves, players will immediately be captivated by the serene and enchanting atmosphere. The views from the 8th and 16th holes are worth a visit alone to appreciate the rugged beauty of the course.
The meticulous 18-hole course offers a challenging and yet accessible layout, taking full advantage of the natural terrain, whilst incorporating no less than fifteen water hazards, strategically placed bunkers and undulating fairways. It also boasts the biggest greens on the island. Every hole presents a unique challenge and with multiple tee options, it accommodates players of all abilities. For those wishing to fine tune their skills before hitting the course, there is a state-of-the-art driving range with seven greens at varying distances, protected by 10 bunkers. At 120 metres wide and 300 metres long, it can accommodate up to 40 players and is designed to test every club in the bag.
The world class facilities extend into a luxurious and spacious clubhouse, situated in a lovingly renovated 19th Century farmhouse. The beautiful whitewashed exterior gives way to an interior brimming with character and history, whilst offering every modern convenience and comfort. The T-elicious restaurant provides a fine dining experience for members and their guests, serving up a blend of modern and traditional cuisine with a farm to table ethos, whilst the large, sunny terrace is the perfect place to relax and drink in the surroundings, whether you are playing golf or not. Members have access to an exclusive area with a private terrace overlooking the course, cosy fireplace for the colder months and a stylish locker room with heated floors, spacious showers and personalised lockers. The clubhouse is also home to an impressive pro shop, stocked with the latest equipment, and golfing technology. Even the club’s golf carts are special – with touch screens showing the exact distance from cart to hole, Wi-Fi hotspot and in-cart charging, and mobile phone technology between golf cart and clubhouse to enable the all important ordering of drinks and snacks!
T-Club is passionately committed to environmental responsibility, utilising sustainable practices to ensure that the beautiful, natural surroundings are preserved for future generations. It has been certified as an Audubon International Silver Signature Sanctuary, highlighting their dedication to protecting wildlife and natural habitats. The T Foundation was established to raise funds to cover local animal care, donating one euro for every green fee sold, as well as organising Christmas markets and non-profit yoga classes with all donations going to the foundation. The club is home to five donkeys, and has been instrumental in the rescue and re-homing of many more animals. Dogs are welcomed on leads and you will often see cats wandering the course as well as several spectacular peacocks.
T Golf Club is more than just a golf course; with its awe-inspiring views, first class amenities and challenging course, it is a testament to the beauty of Mallorca and the sport of golf. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a beginner looking to take up the game, this magical club offers a truly unforgettable experience from the moment you tee off.
