Mallorca Golfers Overview

Climate

Mallorca boasts mild Mediterranean winters and hot sunny summers. Average temperatures range from 10°C in Jan/Feb up to 25°C in August.

When to visit

Mallorca is the perfect all year round golfing destination, however, the two peak seasons are March – June and September – October. Off-peak is rather appealing however as there are bargains to be had and no trouble getting your desired tee-times!

Flights

As the largest of Spain’s Balearic Islands, it’s situated in the Mediterranean and thanks to the airport close to the city of Palma, direct flights are available from the United Kingdom and other European countries. Flight times are approximately 2 hours 15 minutes from London to Palma.

Golf & Resorts

Being an island, the golf courses are spread out but they are all very easy to reach, wherever you are based. There are over twenty courses on the island, six of which within easy travelling distance from the capital Palma.

However, you will find the greatest concentration of golf courses in the west. Some of which are dotted along the coast between El Arenal and Magaluf while others are located further inland.

This provides a nice contrast and allows you to play golf both on the coast and surrounded by beautiful Mediterranean countryside.

Which Golf Courses do we Recommend?

Son Gual

• We recommend several golf courses, but arguably the pick of the bunch is Son Gual. Designed by Thomas Himmel, this golf course raised the level of golf to new heights when it opened and the vineyards and wildflowers around the course make for a tremendous playing environment. However, Son Gual is also a good test of golf, especially when the Mediterranean breeze picks up across the course.
