4 Day Mallorca and the Balearics Golf Itinerary
The Balearics' best golf is almost all on Mallorca, the only island in the group with championship courses in number, and four days is enough to play across it from coast to coast. This plan pairs the island's acclaimed inland courses above Palma with a crossing to the east coast and a coastal finale beside the lighthouse at Alcanada. Here is the route, with indicative 2026 green fees and drive times.

Who this trip suits
This is the Balearics golf trip done properly in a long weekend stretched to four days. Mallorca is the only island in the group with golf in any depth, more than twenty courses against a single resort course each on Menorca and Ibiza, so a golf focused route stays on Mallorca and treats the smaller islands as relaxed add ons for a longer holiday. It suits a couple or a small group who want to see the whole island, not just the courses nearest the airport, and who like the idea of inland golf above Palma one day and a seaside round on the far coast the next, all on one easy island a short flight from northern Europe.
The route runs west to east. Open in the Arabella cluster above Palma bay, play the acclaimed Son Gual just east of the airport, then cross to the east coast around Son Servera for the Olazabal redesigned Pula Golf, before the coastal finale at Alcanada on the bay of Alcudia. You can base entirely near Palma and commute, or split the stay with a night or two on the east coast to cut the driving. Either way, spring or autumn give you warm, settled golf without the summer heat, and four days here feel like a proper tour of the island.
The 4 day plan
Golf Son Muntaner
Open in the Arabella cluster on the slopes above Palma bay, a mature, beautifully conditioned parkland threaded through olive and pine, home to a thousand year old olive tree and one of the largest practice grounds on the island. Polished, strategic and a short drive from the city at an indicative 175 to 220 euro, with the marina and old town waiting for the afternoon.
Golf Son Gual
The island's modern standard bearer and a regular in lists of Spain's best, a private estate course a few minutes east of the airport with immaculate links style turf, bold contouring and a clubhouse and practice setup to match. Demanding but fair, and superb value for its quality at an indicative 155 euro, many visitors' favourite round on Mallorca.
Pula Golf, Son Servera
Cross to the east coast near Son Servera and Capdepera for a course redesigned by the two time Masters champion Jose Maria Olazabal, a rolling par 72 of around 6,300 yards through Mediterranean countryside that has hosted senior Tour golf. A different feel to the Palma courses and excellent value at an indicative 90 to 140 euro, with the resort cluster of Pula, Canyamel and Capdepera nearby for an extra round.
Club de Golf Alcanada
Finish at the only true seaside course on the island, a Robert Trent Jones Junior design on the bay of Alcudia where fourteen holes look out to the sea and the little Alcanada lighthouse on its island offshore. Beautiful, breezy and a genuine highlight, the most scenic round of the trip at an indicative 115 to 220 euro, with twilight rates for a late, golden finish before you fly home.

Green fees and drive times verified indicatively in June 2026 from course and golf travel listings; they vary by date and season and change without notice, so always confirm current rates and availability directly before booking. Find a base on Mallorca.
When to go and where to stay
Play the Balearics in spring, from March to May, or autumn, from September to November, for warm, settled weather, green courses and the islands at their most pleasant, with summer hot enough to need early tee times and winter mild, quiet and the cheapest time to play. For this west to east route you have two good options: base entirely near Palma and commute the longer east coast days, or split the stay with a night or two around Son Servera and the bay of Alcudia to cut the driving on days three and four. A hire car is essential and the island is small, so nothing is more than about an hour apart. If you want to fold in Menorca or Ibiza, treat them as a relaxed extension rather than part of the golf, since each has only one resort course. Always confirm rates and availability before booking.

Balearics itinerary questions
What is the best 4 day golf itinerary in Mallorca and the Balearics?
A four day route covers the breadth of the Balearics' golf, almost all of it on Mallorca, the only island in the group with championship courses in number. Open at Son Muntaner in the Arabella cluster above Palma, play the acclaimed Son Gual east of the airport, cross to the east coast for the Olazabal redesigned Pula Golf near Son Servera, and finish with the coastal round at Alcanada beside its lighthouse. Four contrasting courses on one easy island. Always confirm current tee times and fees directly before booking.
How much does a 4 day Mallorca golf trip cost in green fees?
Four rounds on this route come to roughly 500 to 750 euro per golfer in peak 2026 green fees, with Son Muntaner and Alcanada at the higher end, Son Gual around 155 euro and Pula in the middle. Twilight rates, resort packages and the Mallorca golf card can trim the total, and shoulder season is cheaper again. These are indicative figures that vary by date, so always confirm current fees directly before booking.
Are there golf courses on Menorca and Ibiza?
Yes, but only one each: Golf Son Parc on Menorca and Ibiza Golf near Santa Eulalia, both pleasant resort courses but not on the level of Mallorca's best. For a golf focused trip the Balearics effectively means Mallorca, which holds more than twenty courses including the island's championship layouts, so this four day route stays on Mallorca and treats Menorca and Ibiza as relaxed add ons for a longer holiday. Always confirm rates and availability before booking.
When is the best time to golf in the Balearics?
Spring, from March to May, and autumn, from September to November, are the sweet spots, with warm, settled weather, green courses and the islands at their best. High summer is hot, often above 30 degrees, so play early, while winter is mild and a popular escape from northern Europe with the lowest green fees of the year. Mallorca plays year round. Always confirm current rates and tee times before booking.
