A society week with the logistics handled: the best of the island's twenty plus courses from one Palma base, short transfers, a competition run for you, and one concierge to plan it for eight, twelve or more, on a single short flight from northern Europe.

A golf society trip needs three things above all: reliable golf, a base that can absorb a large group, and someone to handle the tee times, transfers and the competition so the captain can play. Mallorca delivers all three on a compact, easy island. More than twenty courses sit within reach of Palma, the best of them, Son Gual, Son Muntaner and coastal Alcanada, all an hour or less from the city, so transfers are short and the society stays together. The resorts and hotels are used to handling fourballs and full groups, the flights from northern Europe are short and frequent, and the old town, the marina and the coast make the evenings as good as the golf.
The pitch writes itself. Open on one of the Arabella courses above Palma bay, play Son Gual, the Thomas Himmel layout east of the airport rated among the best in Spain, add the seaside drama of Club de Golf Alcanada beside its lighthouse, and run a Stableford across the week with prizes at the captain's dinner on the marina. For a fourth round, Son Vida, the island's original course, or the second Arabella layout at Son Quint keep everyone close to one comfortable base. We build the version that fits your group and your handicaps.
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 to match. Demanding but fair, and many a society's favourite round of the week.
A mature, beautifully conditioned parkland in the Arabella cluster on the slopes above Palma bay, threaded through olive and pine with one of the largest practice grounds on the island. Polished, strategic and minutes from the city, the natural place to open a society week.
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 offshore. Beautiful, breezy and a genuine highlight, the marquee round of any Mallorca society trip.
Son Vida, opened in 1964, is the island's original course, a classic, tree lined layout above the bay, while neighbouring Son Quint adds a more open, generous test. Both sit minutes from the city in the Arabella cluster, ideal extra rounds that keep a society on one comfortable base all week.

Fly into Palma, transfer to a city or Arabella base, and open with a round at Son Muntaner or Son Vida above the bay, then the first night of the competition over dinner in the old town.
The island's best inland test east of the airport, immaculate and strategic, with a society Stableford and prizes at the bar afterward.
The marquee day on the coast at Port d'Alcudia, the round the whole society remembers, then a celebration dinner back near Palma or on the bay.
A final flourish on the open Arabella layout minutes from the city, the prize giving and the captain's speech, then transfers back to the airport.
Mallorca's headline courses sit within an hour of Palma, so a coach for the group keeps a society together and the competition running. Palma airport is close to the city and the Arabella cluster, with the longest hop the coastal run to Alcanada.

Indicative third party operator and resort package ranges for the 2026 season, excluding flights, shown to set expectations only. We are a guide, not an operator, and never quote our own pricing. Peak green fees run roughly 105 to 220 euro a round; group rates and the Mallorca golf card can lower the average. Always confirm directly before booking.
Mallorca plays year round, but spring and autumn are the sweet spots, roughly March to May and September to November, with warm, settled days and the courses in top condition, and they are also the busiest and priciest for a society. Winter on the island is mild and good value, a popular escape from northern Europe, while high summer is hot and best played early. Book the marquee tee times as far ahead as you can, since Son Gual and Alcanada release limited visitor slots and a society needs space for the whole group, then build the competition and the rest of the week around them.
Tell us the group size, the courses you want and roughly when. One concierge costs the whole trip to the head, arranges the competition and replies within one working day, with no obligation.
Mallorca packs more than twenty quality courses into a small island one short flight from northern Europe, with the best of them, Son Gual, Son Muntaner and coastal Alcanada, all within an hour of Palma. That tight geography is ideal for a society: short transfers between courses, one comfortable city base, plenty of resorts and restaurants used to handling groups, and warm, settled golf for most of the year. Tee sheets, a coach and a competition format are all easy to arrange for eight, twelve or more.
Build the trip around Son Gual, the Thomas Himmel course east of Palma airport rated among the best in Spain, Son Muntaner in the Arabella cluster above the bay, and Club de Golf Alcanada, the Robert Trent Jones Junior seaside course beside its lighthouse at Port d'Alcudia. Add Son Vida, the island's original course, or the second Arabella layout at Son Quint for a fourth round, and the whole society stays close to one Palma base all week.
Indicative packages run from around 800 to 1,800 pounds or more per person for a four to five night Palma trip, depending on the courses, the hotel and the season, with marquee rounds at Son Gual and Alcanada lifting the total. Peak 2026 green fees run roughly 105 to 220 euro a round. Spring and autumn carry the top rates, winter is mild and cheaper, and the Mallorca golf card and group rates can bring the average down. Always confirm directly before booking.
