  Dale, a couple of days ago I interviewed a travel agent in a town near there that got totally flooded; houses destroyed, no power, the works. A cruel joke: The Town's name is High River.

  I'm heading for the Canadian Rockies for golf and adventure July 13. I camped in Banff, Jasper, etc. years ago and am looking forward to seeing the region again. It is gorgeous--and I understand the locals are working hard to bounce back from the flooding in June.

  Bob Ward's comment in this group "Why is Poland ignored when talking about European Golf Courses?" -- inspired this new blog post:Ignore Golf in Poland? Big Mistake. on my blog Changing Your Grip. He supplied me with great photos and information and now I'm sharing it across social media. I wrote a guest post 2 years ago on The World's Most Inspiring Golf Courses and that sparked my interest in great courses around the world that don't get much attention. Love that Sand Valley (near Gdansk) offers agrotourism accommodations nearby. Right up my alley! Part 2 to come...

  Dear David,

  Mallorca golf fits into the big picture. Called the Golf Island, few places in the world offer such diversity, with 24 golf courses within a 1-hour drive. The area surrounding Palma and the southwest has the biggest concentration of courses.

  The top courses are Golf Son Gual (a European Tour Senior event took place there in 2009. Ian Woosnam was quoted as saying "it's a bit like Augusta). Selected from 32,000 courses, it was recently included in the Rolex World's Top 1,000 Golf Courses guide, and Golf World magazine selectedthe course as the best Spanish course outside the mainland.

  
  Year after year, Club de Golf Alcanada is voted favorite course of German golfers by the German mag Golf Journal. Located in the north of the island, it borders the sea which makes for some beautiful views.

  
  Son Muntaner Golf is located just to the north of Palma in the luxurious suburb of Son Vida. It is part of the  Starwood Hotel complex  and  as a Golf resort (with 63 holes) is  one of the largest  in Europe with 3-18-hole and 1-9 hole Executive course.

   

  It goes without saying that the maintenance on these courses is excellent.

  Awesome! I'm blogging for a resort company and just wanted to get the overview of how Majorca golf fits into the picture in Spain/Europe, and which are considered, say, the top 3 courses.  And of course I'll link to you in the writeup!  Moltes gracies!!
