In Cabell’s own words, “my ultimate target as a landscape architect is for the course to form an integral part of the existing landscape… A unique feature of this course is that it runs through a valley between hills high enough to give it privacy and isolate it from its surrounding area.”

Capdepera Golf, Majorca: Capdepera Golf is ideal for learning and teaching. Plenty of space on the range, and difficult and easier nines cater to different playing levels. 4 Golf courses within 15 mins of driving.
Golf Son Gual, Majorca: Since opening in 2007, the course got famous for its quality and design standards. Its holes are all having that little something, making a round of golf a great experience.
Canyamel Golf, Majorca: Canyamel Golf is definitely one of the best clubs quality-wise on the island. Some interesting holes and difficult greens make your day a nice day to remember, but probably not a good score day. The course is a difficult one. But we all do like a little challenge, don’t we?
Santa Ponsa 1, Majorca: Santa Ponsa Golf 1 is a fun course, offering interesting holes with wide fairways and tight Par 4s that require a strategy to get a score home. The practice facilities are spacious and the range has a covered roof.
