All Square Itineraries: Mallorca – Part Two

In part two of our itinerary for a golf trip to the Spanish island of Mallorca, we have picked out three more exceptional golf courses and excellent nearby accommodation.
If you have the time, the itineraries can be merged into one for those who don’t mind driving and staying in two different hotels in one trip. Enjoy!

Arrival airport: Palma International Airport

Club de Golf Alcanada

We rate this picturesque course as the 16th best in the whole of Spain. Located around 45 minutes north-east of the airport, Club de Golf Alcanada was designed by the great Robert Trent Jones Jnr. It’s a parkland layout with pine and olive tree-lined fairways, gentle undulations, and panoramic ocean views. There are almost 60 bunkers, the greens are challenging, and some of the tee shots are tricky. You’ll love the pristine conditions and the all-round beauty.

Pula Golf Resort

Also around 45 minutes west of the airport, Pula Golf Resort was completely redesigned by Spanish legend Jose María Olazabal between 2004 and 2006. It’s a par 72 layout where 14 of the 18 greens are visible from the tee. It’s built on the site of an ancient estate and these features have been retained in the design, as well as great views of the sea and surrounding mountains. The club has hosted events like the PGA European Tour Championships Mallorca, and the Olazabal & Nadal Invitational.

Capdepera Golf

Just 5km north of Pula Golf Resort, Capdepera Golf is a par 72 parkland layout built in a valley across an old almond plantation. The greens are large as are the fairways, and there’s the occasional dog-leg, but things get more challenging later on in the round as the course winds up into the hills of the nearby mountains. It’s a challenge that builds and requires strategy, but the beautiful mountain and ocean views are worth the trip alone.

Suggested Accommodation

(Each golf course is within 20 minutes from any of our recommended hotels)
