Club de Golf Alcanada
Club de Golf Alcanada sits on the sheltered northern shore of Mallorca, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and opened in 2003. Widely rated the best course on the island and its only true seaside layout, it looks across Alcudia Bay to the small island and 19th century lighthouse that give the club its name.

The verdict
Alcanada is the course every visiting golfer to Mallorca should try to play. A Robert Trent Jones Jr. design from 2003, it is the island's only true coastal course, running over pine and olive ground down to the edge of Alcudia Bay, with the offshore lighthouse a constant companion and the sea in view from much of the round.
Beautifully conditioned and cleverly routed, it consistently tops the island rankings and stands comparison with the better courses in mainland Spain. It is the headline round of a northern Mallorca trip and worth building a stay around. See our best of Spain ranking and the golf in Spain guide for context.

Designer, year and par verified June 2026 from the club, Top 100 Golf Courses and Robert Trent Jones II. Alcanada, by Robert Trent Jones Jr., opened in 2003 on Alcudia Bay, a par 72 of roughly 6,500 meters and the island's only true seaside course. Green fees ran from about 110 euros as an indicative 2026 guide; figures change by season and year. Always confirm the current rate directly before booking.
The holes worth the trip
Alcanada blends two characters: inland holes through pine and olive groves on rising ground, and the seaside holes that fall toward Alcudia Bay with the lighthouse offshore. Trent Jones Jr. used the elevation to frame the sea and the bay on the approaches, so the views and the golf reinforce each other rather than compete.
The greens are large and subtly contoured, the bunkering is strategic rather than penal, and the closing holes along and above the water are the ones that stay with you. The lighthouse on its little island sits in the eyeline from many tees, one of the most photographed backdrops in Spanish golf.
Conditioning is a point of pride here, often the best on the island, and the course rewards a thoughtful round managed around the wind off the bay. As the clear number one on Mallorca, it anchors a northern island trip and stands as a destination round in its own right.

Alcanada is special enough to build a trip around, but the rest of the island is within reach, from the Arabella courses such as Son Muntaner above Palma to the mountain drama of Golf de Andratx in the southwest, for a complete week.
