Since its founding in 1978, T Golf & Country Club has grown into one of the most celebrated golf destinations in Europe. Combining world-class facilities with a luxury lifestyle membership concept, the club operates across two exceptional locations: T Golf Calvia, the original course, renowned for its classic British design, and T Golf Palma Puntiro, a later addition featuring an innovative American-style layout. Together, these courses embody a commitment to excellence, making T Golf a cornerstone of Mallorca’s vibrant golf culture.
Could you share with us the origins of T Golf & Country Club? What was the vision behind its creation?
The story of T Golf & Country Club began in 2015 when we acquired the old Poniente Golf Course. Both the clubhouse and the course were in poor condition, but it was widely recognized as an excellent parkland course with a traditional English design. Heiner Tamsen bought the club with the vision of creating a haven for golf enthusiasts that celebrates the sport’s traditions while embracing innovation and luxury. From the beginning, we were inspired by the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, aiming to create a destination where exceptional golf meets an elevated lifestyle—where gastronomy is as important as the game itself. This vision remains at the heart of everything we do.
How has the club evolved from its beginnings to now managing two distinct golf courses: T Golf Calvia and T Golf Palma Puntiro?
T Golf has experienced significant growth since its inception. Our primary focus was developing T Golf Calvia, an English-style parkland course known for its exclusivity and meticulous attention to detail. In 2021, we expanded by acquiring the run-down Golf Puntiro, an American-design course. After a year and a half of extensive renovations to both the course and the clubhouse, we reopened as T Golf Palma. Together, these two locations allow us to cater to a diverse range of golfers, blending classic and modern styles to offer a truly unique experience.
