Whether you are going to stay on one golf course throughout your holiday or tour around Mallorca and play on as many as you can, you have to decide where to start!

Here are a few golf courses in Mallorca that have proved extremely popular in the past.

The Alcanada course overlooks the island of Alcanada and with the Sierra de Levante Mountains behind you, you will think you are in the middle of paradise.  The Alcanada golf course also has a clubhouse and a restaurant to enjoy when you aren’t in full swing.

Capdepera sits in and amongst the Arta Mountains and the views are simply stunning. The Capdepera course has artificial lakes, long fairways and is perfect for a great round of golf.

There is Canyamel Golf Course which is in a quiet part of Mallorca. The course is actually quite flat which may seem unusual if you have played on other Mallorca golf courses before this one. If you are lucky enough to be playing golf on a good and clear day, you will have the most beautiful view of the Island of Menorca from the fifth hole.

If you like your golf to be challenging, then the Andratx Golf Course is definitely for you.

The Golf Park (Puntiro) Golf Course will be the one for you to start with. This course was specifically designed by Jack Nicklaus and he has made one of the most beautiful and well designed golf courses to ever exist.

The game of golf has evolved much over the last fifty years. The jobs that go along with this sport have also changed. Golf course jobs were once thought to be tasks that were reserved for young boys during the hot summers at their country club. Gone are the days when the only golf jobs available were to be a cart boy or pro shop pawn. While most golf courses still employ individuals to take care of guests and perform tasks such as rounding up the range balls, they offer career opportunities that far exceed those, as well. You might even be surprised at some of the folks who are finding work in the golf industry these days.

When you head out to the links and you shoot that 87 with three double bogies, it is easy to forget that a golf club is also a business. Despite the beautiful grass and seemingly lazy atmosphere, there is a whole heap that goes on behind the scenes to make sure the final product is up to par. Because of this, golf courses hire professionals just like any other business. Those graduating from law school may feel this precludes them from participating in the golf industry. That is completely false. Golf course jobs have evolved to the point where courses and country clubs are now hiring their own personal team of attorneys to handle everything from contracts to potential litigation from accidents that may happen on the course. Many golf courses also employ their own accountant in order to take care of the tax needs of the company. Golf course jobs have come a long way since the days where cart boys had the responsibility of washing down the golf scooters.

You might not look like Jennifer Lopez and your specialty may not be in weddings, but if you are an event planner or special occasion specialist, then a golf course in your area might be your next client. When special days roll around at the country club, the members generally like to party in style. Many golf courses, especially the upper-end variety, will hire out the services of an event planner that will take care of all the arrangements. Taking this to an even greater extreme, some golf clubs even have a full time event planner on staff in order to coordinate all of their special events.

Many students have recently been going to college to learn about landscaping and horticulture. If keeping grass green is something you do, then there are Golf course jobs out there in huge numbers. The golf side of the business requires that these employees keep their property looking pristine. When golf course managers cannot accomplish this feat themselves, they often turn to landscape specialists and turf grass experts to do it for them. The fairways stay neat and the greens so colorful because the work has been done professionally.

Many golf courses also have a need for experienced business professionals. Like with any business, large or small, there must be a core of financial managers to look after the profits of the company. A growing addition to the golf jobs market is in the field of human resources, where golf course managers are staffing their team with qualified workers who know how to motivate and handle employees.

If you have both a love for golf and a professional skill, then these golf course jobs might be right up your alley. The golf industry has expanded to such a level where these positions are not only available; they are necessary. As golf continues to grow, there is no question that the new and improved golf course jobs will make the jobs of old seem very dreary.
