First, the course almost did not get built. What started as a development project where the golf course was supposed to be selling the real estate soon ran into trouble. The development company went bankrupt before the course was finished.
A number of members, however, decided to put money into the club to get the nine holes finalised. As a result, Son Servera is the only course on the island to be controlled by a golf club, and by extension its members, rather than an external owner.
Second, the original nine holes, designed by Commander John Harris as a tree-lined course through the coastal pine forest fundamentally changed character when almost all trees were lost in a ferocious storm in November 2001. Again, the members put up money to rescue the course and the olive trees flanking many of the original holes, now played as no 1-2, 8-9, 10-11 and 16-18, were thus planted after the 2001 storm.
