What are the best ways to reach golf courses when staying around Palma or the north coast?

Travel time and convenience are key when planning a golf day near Palma or the north coast. Many resorts around the Alcúdia and Pollensa areas offer shuttle services to nearby courses like Club de Golf Alcanada or Pula Golf, making it effortless to get there without car worries. These shuttles are often scheduled to coincide with tee times, so checking with your hotel concierge is a smart first step.

For greater freedom, renting a car is common and practical. The Ma-13 motorway links Palma with the northern golf hotspots efficiently, and ample parking is available at most courses. Driving also offers the flexibility to explore charming towns like Sóller or Valldemossa before or after your round. If you prefer not to self-drive, local taxis and ridesharing can be dependable, although availability may vary outside the Palma area.

More adventurous players sometimes bike around the Tramuntana hills to courses near Deià or Santa Ponsa, enjoying spectacular views along the Ma-10. While not all courses are easily accessible by public transport, Mallorca’s TIB bus network does connect Palma to key towns and golf resorts, so it pays to check routes and timetables in advance. Whether by shuttle, car, or bus, getting there can be part of the island’s laid-back charm.
