Mallorca is an island of unique beauty, attracting visitors from all over the world with its dreamy climate, ornate architecture, azure sea, culinary hotspots and regal ambience. Thanks to its irresistible grace and excellent living conditions, this Balearic island is a popular second home. With its centuries-old golfing tradition, it is particularly popular with golfers.
While Ibiza attracts the younger, party generations and Menorca is a magnet for families, Mallorca is the capital of luxury. It's no surprise that some of the best golf courses are located on the largest Balearic island. Whatever your preference, you'll find the perfect teeing ground for you - from hilltop courses with azure views over sparkling bays, to flat fields ideal for beginners and fringed by fragrant pines, to resort courses and more exclusive members-only clubs - Mallorca really is a golfer's paradise.
With over 22 golf courses, there's something to suit every taste and skill level. Whether you're ready to take on Tiger Woods or you're just taking your first steps into the exciting world of golf, we're sure you'll find a course that's exactly what you're hoping for.
Here we have compiled the best golf courses to enjoy a day out with family and friends.
T-Golf Poniente Calvia
When the renowned golf course designer John Harris put the finishing touches to what is now T Golf Calvia in 1978, many described it as a masterpiece and his most successful project. Today, T Golf Calvia is one of the oldest, highest-rated and most popular golf courses on the island and has been restored to its full splendour after almost two years of renovation. Just 12 kilometres from Palma, the generous fairways and large greens offer an exciting challenge for golfers of all abilities. The 18 holes, par 72, stretch over 6,450 metres and wind their way through a picturesque hilly landscape. Majestic pine trees, fifteen lakes and numerous bunkers make this one of the most beautiful courses you will ever play. For nature lovers, the course with its diverse flora and fauna is a true Mediterranean paradise. The views from the 8th and 16th holes are particularly worth a visit and allow players to enjoy the beauty of the course to the full.

T-Golf Puntiro Palma
T Golf Palma Puntiro is an 18-hole golf course with a par of 71, covering an area of around 165 hectares. The difficulty of the course is average, but can become more challenging from the back tees. The total length is around 6,591 yards from the white tees, where both accurate holes and those for long drives can be found. The golf course has been designed in harmony with the topography of the terrain and integrates the natural vegetation, including pine trees, wild olive trees, carob trees and various shrubs. This natural island environment surrounds the player and, together with the absence of buildings along the course, makes for an excellent golfing experience. An extensive network of buggy paths connects all the holes. In April 2022, the Puntiró Golf Park was taken over by T CLUB. The course was restored and returned to its original design, with the fairways, bunkers, water hazards and greens being redesigned. We have also planted "Piranya" grass, which is recognised as one of the best varieties for golf greens in the world and which we are the first course in Europe to use. The clubhouse has also been renovated to the high standards of the T Club at T Golf Calvia.

In 2016, new grass varieties were sown on the course, including Bermuda Celebration on the fairways and Agrostis V8 on the extended greens.

Note that there is a strict dress code in the practice and pitching areas, as well as in the driving field, restaurant and shop, which prohibits the wearing of jeans, flip flops, sleeveless shirts and the like.
