The modern golf course, designed by the architect Kurt Rossknecht, has been drawing players to its greens since 2000. The professional 18-hole golf course, which may be used by guests of the Sheraton Mallorca Arabella Golf Hotel, is also home to the Arabella Golf Academy. Instructors at the academy teach in German, English or Spanish and offer courses by the day or the hour. A putting green, pitching area and driving area are all available. There are also a club house with restaurant, a specialist golf equipment shop and large conference rooms (Sa Capitana and Sala Biblioteca) on-site.

The Son Muntaner golf course is surrounded by beautiful pine, almond, carob and olive trees (the thousand-year-old "Sa Capitana" at the 15th hole is the island's most famous olive tree) and lies nestled between the hills of Son Vida and Palma. It offers large greens, and numerous holes have views of the sea and spectacular cliffs. Golf fans will be at one with nature on this 18-hole golf course, which is home to numerous species of birds and a multitude of Mediterranean plants and flowers.

The best experience to be had at this club, however, is teeing off before a breathtaking sunset. Golfers will face their first challenge at the first hole, where bunkers make a tricky approach shot over water necessary. True golf fans will enjoy teeing off at the second hole, as very exact positioning is required in order to master the course with its natural landscape. The sprawling greens offer countless different pin positioning options, which means that a game at this course is different every day.
