Majorca offers a rare combination of championship golf and Mediterranean coastlines because it benefits from consistent weather and diverse terrain. UK golfers choose Majorca more often than other Balearic Islands because flight connections are frequent and transfer times are short. Golf Breaks Spain arranges tailored holidays to Majorca so that players access premium courses, high-quality accommodation, and local expertise.

The island attracts both low-handicap and leisure golfers because it features varied layouts ranging from forgiving woodland designs to technical tour-level venues. Majorca’s golf season runs year-round because its mild winters and dry springs maintain playable conditions throughout the year. Each region of the island hosts multiple top-tier clubs so that you can find multiple courses within a short driving distance.

Top Golf Courses in Majorca

  1. Son Gual ranks as Majorca’s most exclusive course since it was built to championship specifications and restricts public access. Golfers choose Son Gual for tournament-level play because it delivers firm fairways, strategic bunkering, and tour-quality greens. The course sits just 20 minutes from Palma Airport, which simplifies logistics for short-stay breaks.
  2. Alcanada Golf draws consistent praise due to its Robert Trent Jones Jr. design and sea-facing layout. The course suits experienced players because its natural slopes and coastal winds create variable playing conditions. Visitors stay near Port d’Alcudia so that they can combine beach access with golf.
  3. Son Muntaner forms part of the Arabella Golf complex, making it ideal for multi-course trips. It includes wide fairways and elevated tees which help mid-handicap golfers build confidence. Golfers stay in Palma city so that they can reach Son Muntaner, Son Vida, and Son Quint in one trip. 
  4. Son Vida is the oldest course on the island and remains popular because its tree-lined fairways reward control over distance. The layout is walkable and forgiving, so beginners and couples tend to favour it. Its clubhouse offers views over the final green, which encourages slower, more social rounds.
  5. T Golf Calvia attracts style-conscious golfers since its design blends mountainous terrain with manicured presentation. Its clubhouse, restaurant, and practice areas meet resort-level expectations because it was fully renovated in recent years.

When To Play: Weather, Tee Time Tips And Travel

Majorca offers year-round golf availability since its climate remains dry and mild outside peak summer. UK travellers often book for spring or autumn so that they can avoid extreme heat and still benefit from long daylight hours. Courses maintain good conditions from February to May and September to November as rainfall is limited and maintenance is consistent. Early tee times are popular among locals since they avoid midday temperatures and allow for afternoon leisure. Later slots often appeal to visiting golfers so that morning travel and transfers feel less rushed.

Booking Considerations

  • Morning slots tend to fill quickly during peak months
  • Most clubs allow online booking but group discounts apply when booked through providers
  • Sunrise and sunset vary significantly between spring and autumn

Transfers should be arranged in advance so that arrival at the course is punctual and stress-free. Golf Breaks Spain includes all local transfers in its packages because convenience and timing are essential for smooth itineraries.

Course Access: Booking, Green Fees And Club Hire

Majorca’s top courses allow visitor play on most days since they operate with dedicated tee time allocations for non-members. Advance booking is strongly recommended for Son Gual and Alcanada as demand for peak morning slots remains high throughout the season. Golf Breaks Spain arranges all reservations directly so that players avoid booking delays or language issues.

Green fees vary between clubs due to course ranking, maintenance standards, and exclusivity. Weekend pricing is usually higher at championship courses which reflects increased demand and limited availability.

Typical Green Fee Ranges

Golf Course Low Season High Season
Son Gual €120 €170
Alcanada €110 €160
Son Muntaner €95 €130
Son Vida €80 €110

Equipment Hire Options

  • Rental clubs available at all featured courses
  • Electric and manual trolleys available for single players
  • Buggies bookable in advance with package deals

Hiring equipment on-site simplifies travel logistics since carrying clubs on flights may increase baggage fees and risk damage. Rental availability is guaranteed through Golf Breaks Spain because we confirm all items at the time of booking.

Alternative Activities For Non-Golfers

Majorca attracts non-golfers alongside players since the island offers beaches, cultural sites, and nature trails within close reach of main resorts. Couples often combine golf with sightseeing because Majorca balances activity and relaxation without requiring long transfers. Group holidays often include rest days so that all travellers have time to explore or unwind away from the course.

Palma provides cultural value for non-golfers through historic architecture, food markets, and waterfront walks. The island’s northern and western coasts suit leisure travellers since they offer quiet beaches and scenic drives through the mountains.

Recommended Activities

  • Cathedral of Santa Maria in Palma
  • Boat trips along the western coastline
  • Local wine tours and vineyard lunches
  • Scenic drives through the Serra de Tramuntana
  • Beach clubs in Illetas, Portals Nous, and Alcudia
