Golf courses in Mallorca

If there is one sport that Mallorca is famous for it’s golf.

Golf courses

For its size, Mallorca can boast one of the highest densities of golf courses in the world. Whether it’s a swift 9 holes you’re after, or a world class round of 18 holes, Mallorca will have a game of golf to suit your taste and your pocket. Below is a list of some of our favourite courses in Mallorca.

Alcanada - Alcúdia, North Mallorca

Two essential requirements for the creation of a top category golf course are a privileged setting and a first rate architect. Both exist at Club de Golf Alcanada in Alcúdia. The club takes its name from a nearby island just off the shore which, complete with its own lighthouse, can be seen from most of the holes. A virgin terrain gently slopes down towards the shoreline, with its pine, olive and oak trees and the mountains of the Sierra de Levante in the background. Almost as spectacular as the design of the course is the view across the bay of Alcúdia. Club de Golf Alcanada is the only course in Mallorca that is right by the sea. It is located in an environmentally important area, and you will frequently find a variety of wildlife and rare birds on the course, particularly in the early morning.

Holes: 18, Length: 6,499m (7,107 yards), Par: 72

Handicap limit: Men 33, Women 35

Alcanada - Andratx, West Mallorca

An 18 hole course created by David Kidd, recognised for its originality, with several extremely raised tees which offer unbeatable views of the Mallorcan coastline. In terms of difficulty it’s a very challenging course for more experienced players. This is the most professional course in Mallorca with breathtaking views and tee times are well ordered so you can enjoy a relatively undisturbed 18 holes. Andratx is very hilly, so buggies are recommended.

Holes: 18, Length: 6,089m (6,659 yards), Par: 72

Handicap limit: Men: 28, Women: 35

Canyamel - Canyamel, East Mallorca

Canyamel, located in the north east, is one of the most picturesque courses on the island. It is a par 73, 18 hole golf course created by José Gancedo in 1988 that respects and conserves the natural environment to the fullest. The course features 2 maximum-difficulty holes (2/13) and curious features such as the par 4 9th with a rustic stone house in the middle that makes it hard to play its 320 metres in four shots, the 4th from which you overlook the sea and can even glimpse the neighbouring island of Minorca, and the spectacular 18th with a triple-tiered piano shaped green, visible from the clubhouse terrace.

Holes: 18
Length: 6,196m (6,776 yards)
Par: 73

Capdepera - Capdepera, East Mallorca

Designed by famous US Architect Dan Maples, its 15th hole was repeatedly voted the most beautiful hole in Mallorca by Mallorca Magazine.

Holes: 18
Length: 5,890m (6,441 yards)
Par: 72

Maioris - Llucmajor, West Mallorca

The Maioris golf course was opened in 2007 and is a championship standard course set amongst the classic Mallorcan landscape of pine, carob and olive trees. It offers a stern challenge to any golfer with four lakes and two “island” greens.

Pollença - Pollença, North Mallorca

Pollença’s 9 hole golf course opened in 1986 and underwent a complete renovation programme in 2000 with the help of Mike Pinner, a member of the Jack Nicklaus golf designing team. The course is of average difficulty, and is ideal for players of all handicaps. It is quite undulating and relatively short with a lot of trees and other hazards. The greens are maintained to a high standard, and there are two lakes and many olive and pine trees. The course has stunning panoramic views over the bays of Pollença and Alcúdia, and across the Tramuntana mountains.

Holes: 9
Length: 2,574m (2,815 yards)
Par: 35

Pula - Son Servera, East Mallorca

Pula golf course was founded in 1995. Between 2004 and 2006, all 18 holes were redesigned by Jose Maria Olazabal in order to satisfy the high demands of international pro golf. It was transformed into one of the most challenging courses in Mallorca.

Holes: 18
Length: 6,297m (6,886 yards)
Par: 72

Son Gual - Llevant, West Mallorca

Thomas Himmel’s design is well thought out and incredibly challenging, making the best possible use of the 156 hectares of gently rolling Mallorcan landscape.

Holes: 18
Par: 72

Son Muntaner - Ponent, West Mallorca

Located in a unique spot between the mountain chain of “Na Burguesa” and the Bay of Palma, surrounded by a beautiful Mediterranean environment, Son Muntaner offers a real challenge for every player, regardless of their handicap. At hole 15 you discover ‘Na Capitana’, the 1,000 year old olive tree, unique on the island, and landmarked by the local Government of Palma de Mallorca.

Holes: 18
Length: 6,226m (6,809 yards)
Par: 72

Son Vida - Ponent, West Mallorca

Son Vida is the oldest golf course in Mallorca and has a legendary status among the players from all over Europe. Its fairways run through the prestigious estate of Son Vida with spectacular views over the Bay of Palma. Its stunning par 5 18th hole, with a second shot over the water, will be a temptation among the more adventurous golfers. The course has hosted two events of the European Tour, the Balearic Open in 1990 (with the exciting victory of Seve Ballesteros in a play-off) and the Balearic Open in 1994 (with Barry Lanes victory).

Holes: 18
Length: 5,601m (6,125 yards)
Par: 71

Vall d’Or Golf - Felanitx, South Mallorca

Vall d’Or golf course is set in a splendid location close to the sea, about 40 minutes drive from the resorts of Cala Bona and Cala Millor. It began life as a 9 hole course in 1985, and was redesigned in 1993 by American architect Bradford Benz to make a full 18 hole course. It’s a short but wonderfully presented course and the first 9 holes are set amongst pine trees and have unrelenting views over the Mediterranean sea. Along the course are three lakes and a good number of bunkers with limestone sand. It cannot be described as either flat or mountainous course. Undulating is probably the best word, and due to its location it is well known for its cooling sea breezes. Buggies are recommended unless fit due to it being a hilly course. The golf club also has a wonderful outdoor swimming pool.

Holes: 18
Length: 5,538m (6,056 yards)
Par: 71
