Golf holiday in Spain

In the overview of destinations in the book these regions are listed for Spain.

• Mallorca
• Andalusia
• Canary Islands

Why golfers travel to Spain

In 2017 a study on the travel behaviour of golfers was presented at the trade fair IGTM. In it, Spain was the most popular destination abroad. 32 percent of German and 41 percent of Swedish golfers chose the country for their golf trips. In the overview of destinations in the book „Golftourismus: Dein Guide für Golfreisen“ three regions are listed for Spain, namely Mallorca, Andalusia and the Canary Islands.

In winter golfers are drawn above all to warmer regions such as Spain, Portugal, Turkey, North Africa or the Canary Islands. Flights of two to four hours are particularly popular, because they are convenient and take little time.

• MallorcaMain season in spring and autumn, with golf courses between the bay of Alcúdia and the Serra de Tramuntana.
• Canary IslandsOn Fuerteventura high season runs from November to April, and golf is played there all year round.
• Club tripsGolf clubs from Germany travel with their members above all to Andalusia, the Canary Islands and Mallorca.

When you play on Mallorca

Mallorca has a golf season of its own. The high season lies in spring and autumn, while high summer and winter are weaker. The golf courses reflect this in their prices, and several even divide the year into high, shoulder and low season.

At Club de Golf Alcanada the price halves in the low season from 230 to 115 euros. The cheapest weeks there are in January, February and December. At Club de Golf Son Servera the 2026 high season runs from 4 March to 2 June and from 16 September to 17 November, and the low season covers January, high summer and December.

In April you pay 230 euros for 18 holes at Alcanada. In January it is 115 euros.

For you this means that in spring and autumn you get the most pleasant weather but pay the highest price. In January and February the green fee is lower. In July and August, on the other hand, it can get so hot that an early tee time makes sense.

The golf courses on Mallorca

The golf courses are spread across the whole island. Most lie around Palma and in the south-west, then there are the courses in the east between Cala Millor and Capdepera and the north with Alcúdia and Pollença.

The east

Around Son Servera three golf courses lie close together. Club de Golf Son Servera on the Costa de los Pinos has wide fairways, but holes 3 to 7 run narrowly through the old pine forest and are therefore called “The Pine Trap”. Next to it lies Pula Golf. At Canyamel Golf a stone house stands in the middle of the fairway on hole 9 and the 18th green has a triple wave. From hole 4 the view reaches as far as Menorca on a clear day.

At Capdepera Golf the first twelve holes lie on a former almond plantation below the clubhouse and the last six on the slope in the mountains. In the south-east lies Vall d’Or Golf near S’Horta, whose front nine run between pines, almond and olive trees.

The north

Club de Golf Alcanada lies on the bay of Alcúdia with a view of the lighthouse on the small island of Alcanada. At 230 euros in high season it is the most expensive course on the island in the price lists. Golf Pollença lies between the Serra de Tramuntana and the bay of Pollença and, at 75 euros in high season, is the cheapest.

Palma and the south-west

Golf Santa Ponsa has two courses. On Santa Ponsa I, hole 10 is a par 5 of 590 metres. Golf Son Termes lies in a valley of the Serra de Tramuntana near Bunyola, surrounded by mountains. In Llucmajor lie Golf Maioris between pine woods and wetlands and the two courses of Son Antem.

The book notes that hire cars are particularly popular on Mallorca, because not all golf courses lie right outside the hotel door. When booking it is important to make sure the car has enough room for your fellow travellers and their golf bags.

What a round costs on Mallorca

The price lists of ten golf courses on Mallorca give a middle price of 128 euros for 18 holes, as of August 2026. The weekend price is the same as on weekdays. The middle half of the courses charges between 123.50 and 141.75 euros.

For the handicap most courses on Mallorca ask for 36. At Club de Golf Alcanada it is 33 for men and 35 for women, on the West course of Son Antem 27 and 35. At Pula Golf and Canyamel Golf players with a higher handicap may play from 2 pm, at Canyamel this rule applies in high season.

Mirco’s tip

If your handicap is above 36, it makes sense to ask for an afternoon tee time. Pula Golf and Canyamel Golf then let you play from 2 pm. On the East course of Son Antem in Llucmajor the limit is 54 anyway.

Golf on Fuerteventura

On the Canary Islands winter is the high season. The book notes that destinations such as the Canary Islands have their strongest months in December and January, while Portugal, parts of Spain and Turkey are in low season then. On Fuerteventura the higher green fees mostly apply from November to April.

Fuerteventura Golf Club near Antigua is flat and easy to play on foot. Its fairways are up to 50 metres wide, the greens average more than 614 square metres and holes 1 to 10 lead towards the sea and back again. Right next to it lies the Salinas de Antigua course, where lakes play the main role and whose price list from August 2026 names 62 euros for 18 holes. Both ask for a handicap of 36.

In the south lies Playitas Golf, a short course with eight par-3, seven par-4 and three par-5 holes. Four ponds and several gorges are in play on most holes there, and the course is open 365 days a year. In the far south near Morro Jable, Jandia Golf lies on the Atlantic.

For Fuerteventura you fly to Fuerteventura airport (FUE). The golf courses near Antigua lie on the east coast, Playitas and Jandia further south. If you want to play several courses, it therefore makes sense to plan a hire car.

Where golf clubs from Germany travel in Spain

Spain is a frequent destination of the trips that golf clubs from Germany offer their members. 25 golf facilities together list 41 trips to Spain, and on 31 of them a golf pro travels along. The destinations lie in Andalusia on the Costa de la Luz and the Costa del Sol, on the Canary Islands with La Gomera, Gran Canaria and Tenerife, on Mallorca and in Catalonia.

The dates fall in the months when the golf courses in Spain have their high season. The Canary Islands trips run from November to February, the Andalusia trips from February to April and in October and November, and the Mallorca trips in spring and autumn. If your own golf club offers such a trip, it can be helpful to ask early about free places. A trip of Golfpark Renneshof to Novo Sancti Petri in November 2026 was already fully booked according to the club’s website.
