Malta Golf Deals and Packages to Watch, 2026
Malta is a one course golf destination, which makes the 2026 value question simple: it is about combining a round at a historic Mediterranean club with everything else the island offers. Here is what to know about golf on Malta and how to fold it into a trip.

The one course that defines Malta golf
Golf on Malta means the Royal Malta Golf Club at Marsa, known to all simply as Marsa, the only golf course across the islands of Malta, Gozo and Comino. Founded in 1888, it is one of the oldest clubs in the Mediterranean, a parkland layout of around par 68 with tight, well defined fairways and recently upgraded greens.
Because it is the island's sole course, Malta is not a destination for a golf only week. Instead it suits the traveler who wants a round or two woven into a wider Mediterranean holiday of history, sun and sea, with the golf as a pleasant, characterful addition rather than the main event.
Where the value is in 2026
Visitor green fees at Marsa have been reported in the region of 70 euros, reasonable for the only course on the island, though a valid handicap certificate is required and advance booking is essential. Treat that figure as indicative for 2026 and confirm directly before booking, since rates and visitor policy can change.
The real value play on Malta is timing. The island bakes in high summer, so the most comfortable golf, and the better value on the wider holiday around it, comes in spring and autumn, when temperatures are pleasant and the course is at its best. A 2026 Malta trip is about the package of golf plus island rather than a stack of rounds.
How to plan it for 2026
Base anywhere on Malta's compact main island and Marsa is an easy drive, which means a round fits neatly around sightseeing in Valletta, the beaches and the day trips to Gozo. Booking ahead is essential given there is only one course, especially in the busy spring and autumn windows.
Plan the golf as one or two rounds rather than a full schedule, travel in the shoulder seasons for the kindest weather, and confirm the green fee and handicap requirement directly with the club before you go.
Our take
Our take is that Malta is a golf and culture trip, not a golf marathon. With a single historic course, the appeal is the combination: a characterful round at one of the Mediterranean's oldest clubs, set within one of the region's richest island holidays.
Go in spring or autumn, book your round at Marsa well ahead, and treat the golf as the elegant supporting act to everything else Malta has to offer.
