2018 EDGA Challenge Series Event International Wheelchair Golf Open Championship
Dear EDGA players,
Please find within this communication further information on the 2018 EDGA Challenge Series Event International Wheelchair Golf Open Championship at the:
Club de Golf Son Antem, Mallorca, Spain
15-17 November 2018
A series of special inclusive packages have been prepared below:
Son Antem’s two golf courses are located in Llucmajor, 10 minutes from the airport and 15 from Palma, with easy access from the motorway. The courses are integrated into a typically Mediterranean landscape and built on flat grounds, making them very pleasant to play on as you walk around them.
The Son Antem Golf Resort boasts 2 golf courses of amazing quality. The East and West courses, both winding their way through parkland and woodland landscape, really provide for an enjoyable round. The East course is a bit easier, with wider fairways, while the championship West course provides a thrilling test with verdant landscapes.
The well-designed East has long, wide-open fairways, woodland and lakes that make it an interesting challenge. It is laid out on what used to be hunting ground and for that reason you will come across a wide variety of animals and birds during your round. The layout requires a carefully placed shot due to the unforgiving rough so accuracy is key.
