When it comes to golf destinations, Mallorca ticks an awful lot of boxes. Indeed, there are more golf courses per square mile here than anywhere else in Europe.
Those who enjoy blowing the froth off a couple of shandies in the evening will revel in the nightlife of Palma and, at the other end of the holiday-vibe spectrum, there are plenty of peaceful little pockets where you can just sit back and enjoy a slice of island life.
Of the 24 golf courses in Mallorca, two notable layouts were on my hitlist during my recent visit to the largest of the Balearic Islands. Pula Golf Resort – an eight-time European Tour host venue – would act as my base for the trip and just over an hour’s drive away, nestled in an idyllic location overlooking Alcudia Bay, Alcanada Golf Club was also on the itinerary.
Mallorca might be the largest of the Balearics, but after a two-and-a-half-hour flight from London to Palma, it is only a 50-minute drive over to the east side of the island, where both Pula and Alcanada reside. And they’re definitely worth the short trip.
