Welcome to Behind the Greens, a heartfelt series celebrating the human stories behind Mallorca’s golf clubs. In this opening edition, we invite you to discover T Golf Calvià and T Golf Palma, united as T Club, where a passionate team creates a sanctuary of golf, community, and connection.
A Vision Reborn: The T Club Legacy
In 2009, the faded fairways of Golf Poniente in Calvià awaited a new chapter. Heiner Tamsen and a dedicated team transformed it into T Golf Calvià, reopening in 2019 as a beacon of elegance and challenge. In 2021, they revitalized Golf Park Puntiró into T Golf Palma, a modern masterpiece. Together, these courses form T Club, which General Manager Borja Ochoa describes as “today the ‘home away from home’ of its members: a refuge where quality, community, and authenticity are breathed.”
Serving both loyal members and countless green-fee players from Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and the UK, T Club stands as a testament to collective effort. As Borja emphasizes, “The success of T Club is the result of a committed leadership team, with a clear vision and detail-oriented management.”
The Team Behind the Magic
Borja insists, “It’s the team that makes the T Golf experience possible day by day. We have exceptional professionals, whose passion, commitment, and operational excellence have been key to transforming T Golf Calvià and T Golf Palma Puntiró into two of the most unique golf destinations in Mallorca. They are the ones who deserve the true recognition.” He adds, “It’s the teamwork, the collective vision, and the shared effort behind every strategic decision, every sustainability improvement, and every detail that defines the premium experience we offer.” Meet the team bringing this vision to life:
Borja Ochoa, General Manager: Leading since 2015, Borja drives T Club’s focus on quality service, sustainability, and community, ensuring every guest’s experience is exceptional.
Pepe Hinarejos, Head Greenkeeper: Pepe maintains the courses’ pristine condition, using 100% reclaimed water from the ERA Santa Ponça plant, satellite-controlled irrigation, and AI-supported turf management.
Isaac González, Executive Chef: Isaac transforms dining at Telicious into a celebration, offering Mediterranean-inspired dishes with stunning course views.
This team’s dedication has elevated T Golf Calvià into one of Spain’s top 15 courses, according to LeadingCourses, and established T Golf Palma as a vibrant addition to Mallorca’s golf landscape.
Two Courses, One Spirit
T Golf Calvià, a par 72 course designed by John Harris, captures the timeless charm of English golf. Its wide fairways, majestic pines, and strategic water hazards—most notably the iconic 10th hole with its historic windmill—offer a challenging yet elegant experience. The course has hosted prestigious events like the 2021 Challenge Tour Grand Final and the Rolex Trophy, earning praise for its meticulous maintenance and refined atmosphere.
T Golf Palma, a par 71 course redesigned by Jack Nicklaus, pulses with modern energy. Located just minutes from Palma, its technical design and accessible fairways welcome golfers of all levels, complementing Calvià’s classic style. Guests praise its variety, professional quality, and breathtaking Mediterranean views.
Sustainability binds both courses. T Club uses 100% reclaimed water, controlled by climate sensors and satellite technology, to nurture the land. Single-use plastics are replaced with water refill stations, and native wildlife—tortoises, birds, and donkeys—thrives, creating a living ecosystem. This reflects what Borja calls “una gestión medioambiental pionera” (a pioneering environmental management).
A Community That Feels Like Home
T Club is where memories take root. From T Yoga sessions on the clubhouse terrace, framed by the Sierra de Tramuntana, to vibrant events like the White Party, Halloween Tournament, Oktoberfest, and Summer Brunch, the team creates moments that resonate. At T Elicious, Isaac’s Mediterranean menu turns dining into a ritual, where guests linger over meals and stories. Visitors rave about the courses’ challenge, impeccable maintenance, exceptional service, and warm hospitality.
T Club is not only a place to play golf, but a global experience where tradition and innovation coexist. Where every member, every player finds something more than a course: they find their place. A club with soul, character, and purpose.
