Welcome to the Spanish Island of Mallorca, home of the newly opened Real Club de Mallorca. The course plays on max settings to simulate the dry and rocky landscape. Around 7300 yards from the tips, this course plays relatively short if you choose to, however every tee shot requires some thought and observation of the green and pin for the round. There are some noticable elevation changes and cliffside views as you weave in between the small fictional tourist town of Marca. Inspiration: I was pretty happy at recieving Spain for this year's NT contest. There were many good options but my mind immediately jumped to Mallorca and eventually I chose to stick with it. My plan was not to mimic existing courses in Spain, but rather inject my own style into the Spanish landscape. The following images were my main inspirations to work from. The result was a project that changed quite a lot, and ultimately left me with major meter issues. There are some spots I wish I could fill in or add more detail to, but the meter and Xbox alike were smoking by the end. The result however is what I consider my best course yet... enjoy! Designer notes: There are some OB spots on the course, I didn't have the meter to add stakes.. so check your yardage book often, although its no Uvongo! I suggest using medium winds and higher, with E and NE being my prefered wind directions Finally be aware of the OB between 9 and 18, there is no option for internal OB on the game so if you go over the edge on 18 and roll through the OB into 9, I suggest taking an unplayable as that is how the hole is meant to play, however it's up to you... don't complain if you get stuck when you hit the subsequent shot OB! Hope you guys enjoy!

That’s a superb course… I had to have a quick look as I had Spain too…
Some remarkable green sites… and the hilltop coastal village and the football pitch - inspired…
Great stuff - best of luck in the contest

Off the first tee... it's clear you have become one of the premiere/elite designers in this community. Bravo sir! Absolutely crushed it. My picks for top contenders have made this a top heavy contest in my opinion, and that is a great thing for the community. Your environment, object placement, and sculpting are all 10/10. I would say "Good luck in the contest!", but it's clear luck will not be needed. Well done bro!

Man Spain team BROUGHT it! Another gorgeous course here! Would have loved to see it with 150% plant meter but this is still amazing at 100%. Petro and I were going for the who’d at best club house award but the reigning champ said “hold my beer”
I hope those homes along the 14th have some sturdy glass!

Yeah 14 is the one hole that is on the edge , but overall I'm happy with it... after all you got acres of space to hit off the tee, but if you bail right... good luck lol
