Ranked the number one course in the Balearic Islands, Alcanada wraps around a lighthouse-topped island in the Bay of Alcúdia and has hosted the Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final three times. Book this one for the par-5 7th alone, an elevated tee shot over the bay that's become one of the most photographed holes in Mallorca, then stay for a Trent Jones layout that rewards precision at every level. ...
Set in a wooded valley near Palma with views to Bendinat Castle and the Bay of Palma, this Martin Hawtree design rewards accuracy over length through narrow, tree-lined fairways and a par-3 12th that carries a lake to a wide green. Note that the clubhouse is currently under renovation, with temporary facilities near the 1st tee, though the course itself is playing normally throughout. ...
Home to the longest hole in Spain, a 609-metre uphill par 5 known as ''The Green Monster,'' Andratx winds through centuries-old olive groves and stone walls in the hills above Camp de Mar. Book this one if you want a genuinely original test: over 60 bunkers and seven lakes reward accuracy over power, with a bay view from the 8th tee that's worth the round on its own. ...
Laid out around a centuries-old stone hut planted mid-fairway on the par-4 9th, Canyamel is one of Mallorca's most naturally integrated courses, closing with an amphitheatre-like ''piano'' green below the clubhouse terrace. Book this one for sea views as far as Menorca and a round that rewards careful strategy over power, in a quieter corner of the island away from the resort crowds. ...
Mallorca's oldest course, dating to 1964 and redesigned by Kurt Rossknecht in 2001, Son Vida combines tree-lined parkland with views over the Bay of Palma and a panoramic par-5 6th that takes in the cathedral. Currently ranked among the Balearics' top ten, book this one for tradition and a genuine test at the water-guarded closing holes. ...
The youngest of the three Arabella courses above Palma, Son Quint opened in 2007 and is currently ranked the Balearics' seventh-best, with the 8th and 17th holes delivering the best views over the bay. Book this one for an easy-walking, well-paced round through pine and olive groves that still has enough bunkering to test a stronger player. ...
Mallorca's second-oldest course and the only one still owned by its own members, Son Servera pairs a tight, pine-lined front nine with a wider, more open back nine and greens that consistently run true. Book this one for the dogleg par-4 6th and a genuine sense of place, in a quiet corner of Costa de los Pinos away from the resort circuit. ...
Vall D'Or's par-5 3rd is one of the most beautiful holes in Mallorca, an elevated tee shot down a valley to a green cut into the hillside by natural rock. Book this one for genuine variety, from pine-forested fairways to open coastal terrain, finishing at a par-3 18th right in front of the clubhouse. ...
Thomas Himmel's Son Gual moved over two million cubic metres of earth to build, and it shows: 66 bunkers, 800 olive trees, and a par-5 18th over two stretches of water rated among Europe's best closing holes. Book this one if you want a genuine championship test, close enough to Palma airport to fit into any length of stay. ...
Redesigned by Ryder Cup captain José María Olazábal and host to the Mallorca Classic eight times over, Pula is one of the Balearics' most tournament-tested courses, with a signature par-4 5th played over a meandering lake from an elevated tee. Book this one for a genuine championship test, backed by a two-tier driving range and short-game area built to professional standard. ...
The tougher of Son Antem's two courses, West was designed by Francisco López Segalés in 2001 and plays against the backdrop of the Randa mountain, with tight fairways and three lakes across five holes. Book this one for a proper championship test, then pair it with the more forgiving East course next door for contrast. ...
Set deep in the UNESCO-listed Serra de Tramuntana, Son Termes is one of Mallorca's most naturally integrated courses, with goats and birds of prey a regular sight and sweeping Bay of Palma views from the back nine. Book this one for genuine mountain golf: driveable par 4s and reachable par 5s on the front nine give way to two punishing uphill closers at the 4th and 10th. ...
