What are the best ways to reach Mallorca’s golf courses from my accommodation?

The scent of pine and rosemary drifts lightly through the air as you prepare for a day on some of the island’s finest fairways. Many of the golf courses, like those near Pollenca and Son Termes close to Palma, are easily accessible from a range of accommodations. If you’re staying nearby, walking or cycling can be delightful ways to arrive, soaking in olive groves or glimpsing the Tramuntana peaks. Some hotels in popular resorts, especially around Alcudia, provide shuttle services to and from golf clubs; it’s worth asking at reception for times and arrangements.

For greater flexibility, renting a car is often the easiest option. The Ma-13 motorway connects Palma with northern courses near Pollenca and Golf de Andratx, while the Ma-19 leads from Palma towards courses on the east coast near Manacor. Driving yourself allows you to explore multiple courses at your own pace, with parking usually available on site. If you prefer not to drive, taxis and local rideshare services operate across the island, and can whisk you directly to courses such as Costa d’en Blanes with convenience.

Public transport like the TIB bus network reaches some golf areas but tends to be less direct, so it’s better suited to those happy to combine travel with a stroll or bike ride. Whether arriving by shuttle, car, or taxi, the beautiful Mediterranean landscapes and traditional Mallorcan villages provide a memorable backdrop to your golfing adventure. Don’t hesitate to ask your accommodation for insider tips on hidden gems and seasonal offers—they can make your time on the greens truly special.
