What notable golf courses near Palma should I consider visiting during my trip?

The expanse around Palma and up the Ma-19 road features a handful of highly regarded golf courses, well worth exploring beyond the city’s immediate vicinity. Golf Son Quint, near Marratxí, offers a meticulously maintained 18-hole course with rolling fairways and mature pine trees providing a pleasant challenge amid tranquil surroundings. Its clubhouse exudes a relaxed charm where you can unwind with a glass of Binissalem wine after your round.

Further along the island’s east coast, in Manacor, Golf Son Servera stands out with its wider, open fairways that offer a contrasting experience, particularly enjoyable during cooler months when the Tramuntana winds temper the heat. The course’s setting near the coast means you can easily combine a day on the links with a visit to Cala Millor beach or exploring local eateries serving tumbet and freshly caught seafood.

On the north coast near Alcúdia, Golf Alcanada is renowned for its stunning views of the Bay of Alcúdia and the Puntiró lighthouse. Its varied terrain includes strategic water hazards that demand thoughtful play, making it popular with experienced golfers. Between rounds, explore nearby Alcúdia’s old town or take a relaxing dip at the nearby Cala Sant Vicenç coves. These options provide a diverse set of courses to suit different playing styles while giving a taste of the island’s varied landscapes.
