The Battle of Stars: golfing for a cause in Mallorca

Pula Golf Resort, in collaboration with the Golf Club Son Servera, is preparing for the next edition of The Battle of Stars, which will kick off on Thursday, June 13, in Mallorca, in a remarkable display of sportsmanship and solidarity. During two rounds, this charity tournament aims to raise funds and attention for ALS (Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and multiple sclerosis. The participation of renowned athletes and celebrities such as Rafa Nadal, Marcos Alonso, Pep Guardiola, Feliciano López, Pepe Reina, Gabriel Batistuta, and Antonio Orozco not only turns this event into a high-profile occasion but also inspires and motivates to contribute to this noble cause. This second edition, initiated by Pula Golf Resort and supported by Mallorca, promises a memorable experience.

The Battle of Stars offers amateur golfers a unique and exciting opportunity to play alongside world-class figures over two days filled with purpose and social impact. Among the notable participants will be Juan Carlos Unzué, a former footballer and coach who has become a symbol of the fight against ALS. This rare chance to share the course with these stars is a privilege that should not be missed.

The Battle of Stars support

The tournament is bolstered by the support of Golf East Mallorca, Fundación Mallorca Turismo, Cap Vermell Grand Hotel, Inmobiliaria Sa Coma, and Banco Santander, ensuring its resounding success. The picturesque Pula Golf Resort and the scenic Golf Club Son Servera will showcase their world-class facilities and beautiful landscapes. They are famous among the most sought-after destinations for Spain golf holidays.

Pula Golf Resort, a unique venue that hosted the Mallorca Classic on the DP World Tour for seven years, was redesigned by two-time Masters champion José María Olazábal between 2004 and 2006. Established in 1995, Pula Golf was transformed into a premier golf course, a par-72 spanning 6,246 meters, with 14 of its 18 holes offering views of the green from the tee. Pula Golf is known for hosting significant events like the PGA European Tour Championships Mallorca and the Olazábal and Nadal Invitational.

On the other hand, Golf Club Son Servera, designed by John Harris and Francisco López Segales, opened in 1967 and expanded from 9 to 18 holes in 2012. Situated on the northeastern coast of Mallorca, Son Servera offers a typical parkland course running through pine trees with stunning sea views of Cala Millor bay.

Together, Pula Golf and Club and Son Servera provide the perfect backdrop for The Battle of Stars, blending the beauty of Mallorca with the spirit of solidarity and sportsmanship.
