Suggests that Thomas Himmel "has done a fantastic job in turning this moderate parcel of land into a bold and exciting course, which never feels limited for space." Explains that the course "has the satisfactory effect of making the average golfer feel able to meet the challenge of very tough-looking targets." States that "at Son Gual, both strategic and heroic play is accomodated for." Suggests that "what is most impressive about the course is that there isn't really a weak hole, a hole that won't be remembered after the round is complete." Concludes that "the fun factor exists in spades at Son Gual and Pamer's desire to create an experience that combines luxury and relaxation has been well acheieved." |
