Golf is much more than a sport. It’s a way to take care of yourself, to switch off, and to improve both physically and mentally—especially when played in a setting as unique as Pula Golf Resort, nestled in the green and tranquil heart of Mallorca. And while it may seem like a calm game at first glance, golf actually activates your entire body and mind. Here’s why playing golf regularly might be one of the healthiest decisions you can make.
Boost your fitness... without even noticing
A round of golf can involve walking between 8 and 10 kilometres, with gentle slopes that stimulate cardiovascular activity without putting pressure on your joints. This continuous movement helps build stamina and promotes calorie burn in a natural, progressive way. What’s more, the repeated swinging motions strengthen key muscles in both the upper and lower body, enhancing coordination, balance, and joint mobility.
On courses like Pula Golf, redesigned by José María Olazábal and stretching over 6,200 metres, these physical benefits are amplified. With 14 holes offering a clear view of the green from the tee and top-level facilities such as the Trackman Range, every round becomes an opportunity for personal growth.
Your mind will thank you too
Golf also has a remarkable impact on mental health. The need to focus on every shot, manage pressure, and regulate emotions makes it a true school of emotional intelligence. It’s ideal for switching off from daily stress, cultivating patience, and sharpening concentration.
Studies cited in renowned books such as Golf is Not a Game of Perfect and Every Shot Counts support this idea: golf trains the mind to make better decisions under pressure—skills that are useful well beyond the course.
The added value of nature
Science backs it up: being surrounded by nature lowers cortisol levels, lifts your mood, and promotes better rest. Playing golf in a natural haven like Pula Golf Resort, surrounded by local flora and fauna and breathtaking views, is not just a pleasure—it’s a tool for overall wellness.
Here, the connection with the natural environment goes far beyond the green. Pula Golf Resort features a 6,000 m² ecological garden, cultivated under the principles of circular economy and supplying seasonal produce to the S’Era de Pula restaurant. This sustainable philosophy runs throughout the resort, enhancing the sense of harmony with the surrounding landscape.
Holistic wellness, every visit
As you can see, golf is a sport that looks after you on every level. From physical activity to mental well-being—and the pure joy of breathing fresh air in beautiful natural surroundings. And when played on a course with heritage, cutting-edge technology, and a deep commitment to sustainability like Pula Golf Resort, the benefits are even greater.
