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. Incredible value compared to the prices of golf in Shanghai where I spent 11 years, but costs can creep up if you don't plan well.
Green Fees
Budget (nine-hole, pitch and putt)
€15-25 at Palma Pitch & Putt, or around €55-65 if you want the cheapest full-size options such as Golf Pollença in the quieter months. Palma Pitch & Putt is a proper short-course option: great for beginners, good fun for families or mixed groups, and a low-pressure way to get clubs in hand without committing to a full round.
Mid-range 18-hole courses
Roughly €75-145 depending on course, month, and tee time. Bendinat, Son Termes, Capdepera, Canyamel, Son Servera, Vall d'Or, Maioris, Santa Ponsa 1, Pula, and the Son Antem courses all live in this middle bracket at some point in the year. These are proper courses in good condition, not afterthought golf.
Premium courses
Son Gual sits around €110-165. Alcanada runs roughly €115-220. Son Muntaner reaches around €250 at peak and drops to around €125 in the value window. T Golf Calvià can push to around €210, and Son Vida to around €190. The top end in Mallorca is higher than many older guides suggest.
Around half the island now uses dynamic pricing, including the Arabella courses, both T Golf venues, Pula, Capdepera, and Son Antem East and West. The practical rule is simple: the earlier you book, the better your chance of locking in the lower end of the range. Black Friday, winter, and multi-round partner offers can still save real money if you time them well.
"Son Gual at €165 is less than an equivalent course in England would charge. Mid-range courses here offer good value by British standards."
Best value months
June-August and December-February are usually the value windows. Peak pricing is normally mid-March to early June and mid-September to mid-November. That matters because a lot of older Mallorca golf advice still wrongly treats October to April as the cheap season.
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 options from €55 for 2 days and then discount kicks in for longer trips and around €140 for 10 days. Weekly rates save 20-30%. Book at least a week in advance for the best availability, the right clubs for you, and early-booking discounts. If club hire matters to your trip, read the full club hire guide as well because the companies, pricing bands, and delivery setups vary more than most people expect.
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, Andratx or Son Vida, a buggy earns its cost. At the flatter courses (Son Antem, Maioris, Santa Ponsa and more), a trolley can be fine if you fancy the exercise.
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 terrace is one of the best places on the island after a round. Great food options at Andratx and Pula too. Budget €20-40 per person.
Sample Full-Day Costs
- Relaxed day (Son Termes, trolley, lunch): approx. €110 per person.
- Mid-range day (Bendinat, trolley, lunch): approx. €160 peak / €110 low season.
- Premium day at Son Gual (peak, buggy, lunch): approx. €245 per person.
- Premium day at Alcanada (peak, buggy, lunch): approx. €300 per person.
Is Mallorca Expensive?
Compared to the UK: no. Many cheaper options than other golfing destinations in Europe. 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.
