Capdepera Golf
Capdepera Golf sits in the quiet northeast corner of Mallorca, a Dan Maples design from 1989 that has matured into one of the island's most relaxed and walkable parkland rounds. Wide fairways run through pine, olive and carob trees below the hills around Arta, a forgiving but pretty test that suits a buddies group easing into a Mallorca week.

The verdict
Capdepera is the easy, agreeable round of a northeast Mallorca trip. Dan Maples laid it out in 1989 on gently rolling ground inland from the coast, and three decades on the trees have grown into the routing so it now feels like an established, mature parkland rather than a young resort course. Fairways are generous, the trouble is mostly visible, and the pace of a round here is unhurried.
It will not top the island rankings, and it does not try to: this is a course to enjoy rather than survive, ideal as the warm up or the wind down on a week built around the marquee names. Pair it with nearby Canyamel and the island's flagship, and you have a complete northeast base. See our best of Spain ranking and the golf in Spain guide for the wider picture.

Designer, year and par verified June 2026 from the club, Leading Courses and regional golf listings. Capdepera Golf, by Dan Maples, opened in 1989 near Arta in northeast Mallorca, a par 72 of roughly 5,890 meters. Green fees ran from about 80 euros as an indicative 2026 guide and vary by season and time of day. Always confirm the current rate directly before booking.
The holes worth the trip
Capdepera plays through a calm valley of pine, olive and carob, and the appeal is in the variety of a relaxed routing rather than in any single signature hole. The par 5s give a longer hitter a real chance to score, while the shorter par 4s reward placement off the tee over raw power, so a thoughtful round usually beats a brave one here.
The greens are honest and receptive, putting a premium on tidy approach play rather than nervy reads, and the rolling ground gives just enough elevation change to keep the views and the strategy interesting. With the Llevant hills as a backdrop and the trees framing most fairways, it photographs far better than its modest green fee suggests.
This is golf to be savored at an unforced pace, an ideal first or last round of a trip when the group wants a fair test without the pressure of the island's championship layouts. As a base for the quieter northeast, it sits naturally alongside Canyamel a few minutes away.

The natural base is the northeast resort strip around Capdepera, Cala Ratjada and Canyamel, where low key beach hotels and villas sit minutes from the course, a quieter alternative to the busier southwest of the island.
From here the rest of Mallorca opens up for a full week, from Canyamel Golf next door to the island's coastal flagship at Club de Golf Alcanada up on Alcudia Bay, and the Arabella courses such as Son Muntaner above Palma.
