Golf in Mallorca: four golf courses within 15 minutes by car
Most golfers like to play several courses during a golf holiday. Short and easy driving times create a relaxed feeling. Missing tee times because of rush hour traffic in big metropolitan areas can ruin the day. Been there, done that… Dubai comes to mind.
Here the drive is pure Mediterranean landscape and for people who live in cities this is real recovery. The road network is safe, modern and well signposted.
Many restaurants and bars
Always eating in the same restaurant and always having your aperitif and Caipirinha in the same bar gets boring. A good mix of relaxed meeting places with beautiful sea views and fine dining options is an important part of planning a trip.
The better the atmosphere, the more likely it is that golfers will come back.
Good practice facilities and golf academy
Good practice facilities are useful in many ways. Golfers on holiday need time to warm up. Winter golfers who have not played for months need a range where they can work on all parts of their game.
Well known golf schools with experienced PGA professionals ideally do not only offer monthly or annual programmes. Holiday guests only have a few days and being able to test modern clubs during that time is a big advantage.
Golf courses with all levels of difficulty
Golf can be played with many different intentions. A relaxed round or a four hour battle with your own character. Everyone decides for themselves.
The ideal setup is to have four different courses nearby. One that feels more relaxed for all players (Capdepera Golf), one with spectacular views (Pula Golf), one with very fast greens (Canyamel Golf) and one with tree lined holes and views over Costa de los Pinos (Son Servera).

Buggies on the fairway or easy to walk
A course that offers both options has a clear advantage. Walking lets you see and feel more of the course. A proper caddie service like in the USA would be the only thing missing here.
Modern facilities such as spa, gym, pool and sauna
Spas are a major attraction for the luxury segment. Good treatments and physiotherapy are especially helpful for golfers.
Fitness, stretching, yoga and Pilates are all used by golfers. A 25 metre pool is particularly popular.
Sauna, steam bath and hot cold treatments complete the offer perfectly.
Plenty of non golf activities
Hiking, tennis, stand up paddling, diving, horse riding, wineries, caves, boat rental, go karting, balloon flights. All of this is only a short drive away.
Or how about a private photo shoot with a local photographer.
Fantastic sandy beaches all year round
An early morning walk and the first swim in the sea create memories that stay with you for a long time. Many of these moments end up as a background image on your work computer.
A magical place
The northeast region is a magical place. Sandy beaches, natural surroundings, small villages and sea views create the perfect setting for a proper break.
Some golf courses are only a short iron away from the beach. Forest, hills and sea come together and create a setting that feels almost cinematic.
Hotels that are very golfer friendly
Individual finca style hotels, modern rooms, heated pools. Everything is possible from boutique hotels to five star resorts like Hyatt Park.
People who truly care about service
Staff who love the place where they live bring an incredible energy. This attitude reaches guests immediately and is a big part of what makes the northeast coast so special.
