Golf in Mallorca ranges from genuinely affordable to seriously expensive — the gap between them is bigger than most visitors expect. Here's an honest breakdown for 2026, from someone who plays here most weeks.
Green Fees
Budget (nine-hole, pitch and putt)
€20–50. The Arabella Pitch & Putt in Palma is a proper short course at the lower end.
Mid-range 18-hole courses
Approximately €80–145 depending on season. Son Termes from €80, Bendinat €74–123, Capdepera €65–135, Canyamel €85–145, Son Servera €80–145, Vall d'Or €99–132. These are proper courses in good condition. Always check the course website for current rates — prices shift seasonally.
Premium courses
Son Gual ranges from €115 in low season to €165 at peak (March–May and September–November). Alcanada ranges from €115 in low season to €220 at peak. Both are published 2026 rate cards. Son Muntaner — named Best Golf Course in Spain at the 2025 World Golf Awards — sits in a similar bracket. Verify current rates at arabellagolfmallorca.com.
"Son Gual at €165 is significantly less than an equivalent course in England would charge. Mid-range courses here offer outstanding value by British standards."
Best value months
January–February and November. Green fees at most courses drop 20–30% compared to peak, and the courses are in excellent condition. Peak is March–May and September–November — busiest, most expensive, and the best conditions of the year.
Club Hire
Course hire sets: typically €35–50 at the pro shop. Variable quality.
Specialist hire companies deliver to your hotel, airport, or course. Budget sets from around €25 per day; current-season premium graphite from €55 for 2 days, up to €140 for 10 days. Weekly rates save 20–30%. Book at least a week in advance for best availability and early booking discounts.
Buggies and Trolleys
Golf buggies run €35–48 depending on the course. Son Gual charges €45, Alcanada €48 — the GPS models give you yardages and hole maps. Pull trolleys €6–8. Electric trolleys €14–25.
At hillier courses like Bendinat or Son Vida, a buggy earns its cost. At the flatter championship layouts, a trolley is fine.
Food and Drink
One consistent surprise for visitors: the food is genuinely good. Son Gual's restaurant has views across the Bay of Palma that justify a long lunch. Alcanada's sea terrace is one of the best places on the island after a round. Budget €20–40 per person.
Sample Full-Day Costs
Relaxed day (Son Termes, trolley, lunch): approx. €113 per person.
Mid-range day (Bendinat, trolley, lunch): approx. €161 peak / €112 low season.
Premium day at Son Gual (peak, buggy, lunch): approx. €245 per person.
Premium day at Alcanada (peak, buggy, lunch): approx. €306 per person.
Is Mallorca Expensive?
Compared to the UK: no. Son Gual at €165 is significantly less than an equivalent course in England would charge. Mid-range courses here offer outstanding value by British standards. Compared to the Algarve: similar at the top end, slightly cheaper in the middle. Compared to the Costa del Sol: broadly comparable at premium level.
