This is a thing of beauty! Wonderful design and totally get the vib. Very good use of objects and loved the textures you chose. Lots of great courses on the NT and this one is right up there at the top. Great job Nitro!

Loved this. Very authentic. The township on the headland was very well done. Great variety of holes on changing terrain. Fair putting surfaces. One of the best NT courses I've played. Well done! (You've definitely backed it up after Uvongo which I also thought was one of the better WC competition courses.)

Definite top 3 contender of the courses I've played so far. Great work.

Well, if I ever get to the sailing and cycling trip to Mallorca that's currently a bucket list mirage, then it would be really great if some loaded developer could make the Real Club de Mallorca a reality to add some golf, nitro22 ...and though maybe impossible, certainly worthy

What a ripper! A very coastal Spanish vibe and would be a great place to spend a long weekend and a couple of rounds. Lots of elevation changes to keep an eye on and some good risk/reward, that of course tempts me every time. The 5th caught me out and then trying to shorten my approach in on 18 before hitting a fast left into OB cost me a double and a bitter taste left in my mouth. Luckily the excellent restaurant in the clubhouse had a marvellous Tempranillo to wash it away!
The off course planting is excellent and a lot of the planting would have gone into giving it a village feel. Well done. Oh, and I did check to see if the soccer pitch was OB...

I remember this kicking the crap out of me and a few others in my society a couple weeks back, really nailed the Royal Spanish theme with the look and difficulty expected from it, well deserved place in the Top 16 and since I'm about to tee off once again, heres a routing pic as we're in page 3 and unless something loaded late again, the nerds are overdue on their fix and I'm good with helping out.

Will not lie, I am a complete newbie to the game and even more so to designing. But have to congratulate you, my daughter and I are loving the course. Top job Sir.

I had to set up a wireless hotspot from my phone and use data to play this course due to ongoing internet issues, and goodness me am I glad that I did, for more than one reason! Obviously the course is fantastic, but I also put together possibly my best score in the game. Unfortunately though, this put me on 59 watch way too early in the round.
Right from the first tee shot, the course is a visual stunner. I loved the environment, and it only got better as you slowly introduced more aspects of the island to the course - the sandy delta look felt very Mediterranean, the houses were a perfect fit and the style of the course was perfect too. It actually felt like courses I’ve played before on holiday, so I can’t ask for any more. Of special note, though, is how it all comes to a flawless climax with a tough but fair, stunning 18th hole. That view over the rest of the course from over 100ft up is just the perfect way to end the round, and in front of a gorgeous, creative clubhouse. That infinity pool was something entirely unique that I haven’t come across before.
As mentioned, I put together one of my best ever rounds. Despite missing out on a birdie on the short par 4 second hole, I was -6 through 8 and getting excited. This really made me think about my shots more so than usual, which maybe led to my downfall as I pretty quickly stopped making birdies, and could only manage to par my way in from the 13th for a 63. It’s not Like there weren’t scoring opportunities out there though - I missed short birdie putts on 14, 15 and 16, and nearly holed a monster on one of the other holes.
I really enjoyed the opportunities provided to hit good shots. Maybe the course isn’t particularly challenging, or maybe I just played well, but I felt like I always had a chance to get the ball in close and make a putt. I didn’t really hit many poor shots to be punished - I think I only found bunkers when going for the green under regulation and I hit almost every fairway, but I did notice that once I started playing with score on my mind, the defensive tee shots made birdies much more difficult. This is notably very true on 18. I played to the right, and had to hit a second driver to get to the green and two putt for a fairly simple par but no chance of a birdie, and I can see how going heroic can very quickly rack up a huge score.
There isn’t much more I can add here in the way of feedback- the course was just about perfect. Best of luck in the contest, although it doesn’t look like you’ll need it!

Great course Rohan. Hole 14 will be good fun next week on Beer League! When I teed off on 6 I landed to the right of the right hand bunker on what appears to be the fairway but the lie played as Heavy Rough. I just wondered whether this is intentional or a bug? I aimed for the right side of the fairway to stay away from the water on the left. Cheers.

It's not a bug, but rather unfortunately fairway brushes that didn't quite overlap leaving the smallest litte a##!0#l of heavy rough patch. The spot is very small and relatively short so landing in it should be unlikely... but still frustrating and not intended. With the texture colours being very similar I missed the small patch on 6 and also a larger patch on 9 infront of the first fairway mound, luckily that one should never come into play
