On the north coast of Menorca, close to Son Parc lies Menorca’s only Golf Course. This is the perfect beach for both families and sun seekers. The beach has lifeguards, as well as sun beds and parasols. There are also pedalos and canoes to hire. Despite its rather humble origins Golf Son Parc is a championship quality course, ideal for beginners and experienced golfers alike. The course is both challenging and picturesque.} It also benefits from its being just a few hundred metres from the award winning Son Parc beach resort. Highlights of The Course The first hole at Son Parc, measures 440m, and is a relatively short par 5. With a stoke index of 11 it offers a gentle start to your round, but beware, do not underestimate this course! The main threats as you begin comes from two fairway bunkers and the elevated green that will cause problems for golfers whose approach shot lands short. All is not exactly plain sailing from the first hole but the next major challenge rears its head at the fifth. Regarded as the most difficult of holes most difficult hole it measures 452m and is a par 5. The approach is difficult and the green is tight and undulating. The last hole at first sight appears to provide a gentle finale for your round. However the stroke index of 12 is a little decieving. The 147m par 3 should not overstretch all those who stay clear of the trees which guard the front of the green. Menorca has a liking for the unusual and on the course this is provided by the resident peacock population. Their base is just behind the third hole but they are quite willing to share the course with golfers and other human beings. No matter how you feel about them about their presence one has to admit they do add a touch of colourto a round of golf!
