Vall d'Or lies between Cala d'Or and Portocolom; from several holes you can see the sea, and from hole 3 the bay of Portocolom. At 5,335 m from the yellow tees and par 71 the course is short, but elevated tees and greens and several doglegs call for accurate play.

The course
Landscape and character
Vall d'Or has two landscapes: undulating woodland holes on the front nine, wider holes towards the coast on the back nine.
The front nine run through pine, almond and olive trees. The back nine – the original holes from 1986 – are wider and slope down towards the coast. Elevated tees and greens and several doglegs shape play; there are two lakes by the green on hole 8.
The course opened in 1986 with nine holes, and today's holes 1 to 9 were added in 1991–1993. The club later completely redesigned hole 16, with new tees and a new green; the lengths on the 2008 scorecard may therefore differ for this hole.
