Golf courses in Balearic Islands

The Balearics as a golf destination: for some golfers it might sound like a surprise, but anyone who has played there immediately understands the appeal. Mallorca is the undisputed golf island of the archipelago with more than twenty courses, varied in character and location. From courses in the rugged hills of the interior to layouts right on the coast, Mallorca has something for every type of golfer. Leading Courses favourites include Golf Son Gual on Mallorca — a beautifully situated course in the heart of the island, designed by Thomas Himmel, with rolling terrain and views that make you pause between holes. Pula Golf, designed by José María Olazábal, is another community favourite: demanding, stylish and surrounded by the typical Mallorcan landscape. On Ibiza you'll find Golf Ibiza, the only course on the island. Those who think Ibiza is all about parties have not really seen the island. Outside the season, Ibiza is quiet, green and surprisingly well suited to a golf holiday. On Menorca, Golf Son Parc is the only option, but a good one — a compact course in the hills near the coast with the relaxed character that suits Menorca perfectly. The Mediterranean climate makes the Balearics playable year-round, though spring and autumn are the most pleasant periods. In summer it is busy and warm, but always possible to combine with a refreshing dip on the coast. Tee times at most Balearic courses are easy to book online via Leading Courses.
