Unbeatable weather

With around 300 days of sunshine per year, Mallorca’s climate is perfect for golfing throughout the four seasons. However, we would suggest you try to avoid playing between 13:00 and 16:00 in the peak summer months when the sun is at its highest.

Stunning terrain & views

Golf courses in Mallorca are often carefully designed to preserve the island's natural beauty, which means that your 18-holes are normally complimented by surrounding olive trees, ancient stone walls and landmark pitstops. More often than not, the ranges offer truly exceptional views of Mallorca’s Tramontana mountains, neat rows of burgeoning vines, or the rugged coastline with glistening panoramic sea views.
