Where the Game Becomes Secondary & the Scenery the Real Prize
You can remember a golf course for a single shot. In Mallorca, you may remember it just as clearly for what stood beyond the green: a lighthouse in the Bay of Alcúdia, pine-covered hills above Camp de Mar, or a distant coastline revealed as you reach an elevated tee.
Choosing scenic golf courses in Mallorca means deciding which landscape you want to spend your day in. Coastal views, mountain backdrops and perspectives over Palma each give your round a different character. The most rewarding itinerary gives you some variety without sending you across the island every morning.
You also need to look beyond the photographs. A beautiful hillside course may involve substantial changes in elevation, while a sea-view layout still demands careful club selection and sensible course management. These five courses give you distinct settings, with practical reasons to include each one in your holiday.
Which Golf Courses in Mallorca Have the Best Views?
For coastal scenery, put Alcanada on your shortlist: its course overlooks the sea, mountains and lighthouse near Port d’Alcúdia. Golf de Andratx offers a standout view over Camp de Mar from the eighth, while Capdepera’s elevated 15th opens towards the coast. Son Servera combines Mediterranean and mountain views, and Son Quint gives you a memorable perspective towards Palma cathedral. Alcanada Golf
Your best choice depends on where you stay and how you like to play. If an open sea outlook is your priority, start with Alcanada. If you enjoy a changing landscape and the anticipation of a particular viewpoint, look closely at Andratx or Capdepera.
For more detail on each course, read our guides to Alcanada, Golf de Andratx, Capdepera, Son Servera and Son Quint.
Alcanada: Sea Views and the Lighthouse
At Club de Golf Alcanada, you play beside the Bay of Alcúdia in northern Mallorca. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and opened in 2003, the 18-hole course has a setting defined by the water and the lighthouse, which you can see from much of the layout. RFEG
That recurring landmark gives your round a strong sense of place. You are not simply waiting for one scenic hole; the relationship between the course, bay and offshore island forms part of the wider experience. For a holiday round where the landscape matters as much as the score, that is a compelling reason to visit.
You still need to pay attention to the golf. The architect’s placement of bunkers, trees and other obstacles makes strategy relevant throughout the round. Choose tees that suit your usual carry distances, and give yourself permission to play towards the safer part of a green rather than chase every flag. Alcanada Golf
Plan Your Round in the North
If you are staying around Alcúdia, make Alcanada an early consideration when planning your itinerary. You can use the guide to golf courses from north to south to explore how another round might fit around your northern base.
Before booking, check the visitor requirements for your group. Alcanada currently publishes handicap limits of 33 for men and 35 for women. Confirm the applicable requirements directly when arranging your tee time, especially if you are organising a mixed-ability golf trip. Alcanada Golf
Allow yourself enough time for a warm-up. Arriving with minutes to spare can leave you thinking about parking, shoes and scorecards when you should be enjoying the setting. A little breathing room makes an expensive holiday round feel considerably more relaxed.
Golf de Andratx: A Panorama over Camp de Mar
Golf de Andratx gives you a different kind of scenic experience in southwest Mallorca. Its 18-hole course combines sea and mountain views, with the eighth hole offering the signature outlook over the bay of Camp de Mar. GOLF DE ANDRATX
The eighth is a par four, and the view arrives with a proper golfing task attached. The club describes a narrow opening shot down the valley, followed by an approach with water threatening the left side. Enjoy the panorama before you settle into your routine; the hole deserves your full attention once you address the ball. GOLF DE ANDRATX
You will also encounter the sixth, known as the “Green Monster”. From the championship tee, this par five measures 609 metres. That number is a useful reminder to choose your starting tees carefully rather than assume the longest option will give you the best holiday experience. Golf de Andratx
Give the Terrain Some Respect
The changes in elevation and distances between certain holes matter when you plan your day. The club recommends booking a buggy and notes that availability can be limited during busy periods. Arrange yours alongside the tee time if you want one. GOLF DE ANDRATX
You should also think about equipment before arrival. Rent2Play.Golf is a Mallorca-based golf club rental service offering quality Callaway and TaylorMade clubs, with delivery and collection at hotels, accommodation, golf courses and the airport.
If you have already chosen your dates, ask Rent2Play.Golf about golf club hire in Mallorca while you arrange your rounds. Giving the team your playing schedule helps you coordinate the equipment handover with your holiday plans.
Capdepera Golf: A Mountain Setting with a Coastal Reward
Capdepera Golf belongs on your shortlist when you want the landscape to change as the round develops. Designed by American architect Dan Maples, it combines holes in a valley formerly occupied by an almond plantation with more demanding holes rising into the Llevant mountains. Capdepera Golf
That progression is part of its appeal. You get a different perspective as you move into the hills, rather than a repeated view from similar ground. If your idea of a memorable round includes discovering what lies beyond the next rise, you have a clear reason to consider Capdepera.
The club sits on the road between Artà and Capdepera, placing it in the east of the island. Look at its location alongside your accommodation before booking, particularly if the rest of your golf is concentrated around Palma or the southwest. Capdepera Golf
Make Time for the 15th
The 15th is the scenic highlight to anticipate. Set high in the mountains, it offers a panoramic outlook reaching towards the coast. The club identifies this hole as one of the defining attractions of the course. Capdepera Golf
Have your camera accessible, but keep your photograph brief when others are waiting. You can appreciate a view without interrupting the rhythm of the round, and taking a moment before your shot is usually more enjoyable than trying to photograph everything while walking away.
For your approach play, assess the actual target before letting the backdrop influence your judgement. Check the distance, elevation and wind, then commit to the shot you have chosen. A dramatic setting can make you surprisingly casual about an otherwise straightforward decision.
Son Servera: Pine Forests, Mountains and Mediterranean Views
At Club de Golf Son Servera, you get a mixture of wooded golf and open views. Founded in 1967 at Costa de los Pinos, the club has an 18-hole, par-72 course with panoramic outlooks towards the mountains and Mediterranean. Club de Golf Son Servera
You should expect the landscape to come in different forms. The club calls holes three to seven “The Pine Trap”: a five-hole stretch through pine forest with significant changes in elevation. That gives you a more enclosed golfing environment before the wider views become part of the experience again. Club de Golf Son Servera
This variety makes Son Servera worth considering if you enjoy trees framing your shots as well as distant scenery. You are choosing a round with contrasting spaces, where the demands of the hole can hold your attention just as strongly as the horizon.
Give water hazards their due, too. The club lists lakes on six holes, so check your intended landing area rather than automatically reaching for the longest club. A comfortable position for the next shot can be more valuable than a few extra metres. Club de Golf Son Servera
If your itinerary includes several courses, consider the golf club rental brands and models before you travel. Ask about handedness, shaft material and flex so your rental enquiry reflects the equipment you normally enjoy playing.
Son Quint: A Different Perspective on Palma
You do not have to build your entire trip around coastal resorts to enjoy memorable views. Son Quint offers an option for a Palma-centred holiday, with an open layout and notable perspectives from the eighth and 17th holes, according to Palma’s official tourism guide. visitpalma.com
The eighth has a particularly distinctive orientation: you tee off facing Palma cathedral. It gives you a recognisable city landmark within the golfing landscape and a different visual memory from a lighthouse or mountain panorama. visitpalma.com
If you are travelling with someone who wants restaurants, sightseeing and time in the city alongside golf, this is a useful course to investigate. Start with your shared holiday priorities, then find a tee time that leaves both of you enough room to enjoy the day.
You can compare nearby possibilities in the guide to golf near Palma. Keeping some rounds close to your accommodation also gives you more flexibility when you want a leisurely breakfast or an unhurried evening after playing.
How to Plan a Scenic Mallorca Golf Holiday
Choose Your Base Before Your Tee Times
Begin with the area where you want to stay. Alcanada gives you a northern anchor, Capdepera and Son Servera provide eastern options, Andratx brings you to Camp de Mar, and Son Quint suits a Palma-focused plan.
For three rounds, choose two that fit comfortably around your base and one that justifies a longer excursion. You will usually appreciate a special course more when you reach it rested, with enough time to practise and enjoy the surroundings.
Check the route to the clubhouse itself, rather than relying on a general town-to-town estimate. Build in time for traffic, parking and check-in. If several people are sharing a vehicle, confirm that it can accommodate both passengers and the number of golf bags you plan to carry.
Book for Comfortable Golf and Good Visibility
A scenic round is still several hours outdoors. Look at the forecast for your actual dates and consider temperature, wind and daylight alongside the available green fee. Your preferred conditions may differ from those of a playing partner, so agree on the priorities before booking.
If you want photographs, allow time for them without making the whole round depend on perfect light. Clear visibility matters more than a particular tee time, and distant views will always depend on the weather you get that day.
Use the guide to the best time to play golf in Mallorca when comparing travel dates. Once you have selected a week, check each course’s maintenance schedule before paying for the rounds you most want to play.
What to Confirm Before You Pay
Ask what the quoted green fee includes, whether a buggy is available, and which handicap documents your group needs. If you are booking a later start, confirm that the timing allows a comfortable round within daylight.
Check cancellation terms and any scheduled maintenance affecting your date. You should also agree on a sensible tee selection within your group. Playing from suitable distances gives you more chances to enjoy the course architecture and fewer occasions spent searching for a ball beyond your comfortable range.
Enjoy the Views without Flying with Your Golf Bag
Bringing your own clubs may suit you, especially if you rely on a closely fitted setup. For a shorter trip or a holiday involving several stops, renting locally gives you another way to organise the journey without transporting a heavy golf travel bag.
Rent2Play.Golf offers rental periods from 2 to 21 days, with sets from €8.24 per day, and gives you personal help with equipment choices and local course recommendations. You can arrange delivery and collection around your accommodation or playing plans, then keep your attention on the holiday you have come to enjoy.
Before booking, review the golf club delivery and collection arrangements. Delivery and collection cost €22.50 (Zone A), €33 (Zone B) or €46 (Zone C), depending on your location. If you want the clubs ready for an early round, agree on the handover in advance rather than leaving the details until arrival.
Choose the views that appeal to you most, give each round enough time, and leave some space between golf days to enjoy Mallorca. To arrange your equipment, book with Rent2Play.Golf or send an enquiry with your dates, preferred clubs and delivery location.
