Are there golf courses on the island with impressive views or distinctive scenery?

The Serra de Tramuntana offers several golf courses where the landscape is as much a part of the experience as the game itself. Near the town of Pollenca, for example, the Alcanada Golf Club provides sweeping views over the Mediterranean and the rocky coastline, a setting that combines sea and mountain vistas in an unforgettable way. The well-kept fairways wind amid pine forests and olive groves, making it a place where the natural surroundings are remarkably intact.

Closer to Palma, the Son Vida Golf Course holds a particularly scenic location, perched on a hillside with panoramic views over the city and the bay. Here, the mature pine trees frame each hole, giving a quiet, secluded feel despite the proximity to the island’s capital. The challenge is enhanced not just by the course layout but also by spotting landmarks like the Bellver Castle and the Tramuntana peaks from selected vantage points.

Further east, in the Manacor area, golf enthusiasts can find courses nestled among gently rolling terrain, with sunsets over the plains and vineyards of the Binissalem region often visible. Whether on the coast or inland, courses on the island tend to embrace their natural terrain, from rugged cliffs near Formentor to leafy valleys close to Valldemossa. These settings provide refreshing contrast to typical parkland golf and reward players with views that underscore the island’s diverse terrain and Mediterranean charm.
