T Golf Palma - Review (2026)

We had the first tee time of the day at T Golf Palma, 7:30am, nobody in front of us. The greenkeepers were out working the course and stopped to compliment a couple of shots as we went past. A course this close to Palma is rarely this quiet.

The Setting

T Golf Palma changed hands in March 2022, when T Club bought the course and renamed it, and picked up a lot of its reputation from sharing a name with T Golf Calvià. I went in wondering if that was doing some of the work. It isn't. Jack Nicklaus designed the course, the only one of his in Mallorca, and it opened in 2006 before a full renovation in 2022.

It sits away from almost everything else on the island. Planes go over from Palma airport, but for most of the round there isn't a building in view. Isolated but under a flight path is an odd combination.

Holes Worth Knowing

Hole 5 is the hardest hole on the card, a 364m par 4 with a tight tee shot and a narrow green to finish. There isn't much room for error at either end.

Hole 8, 334m, is the best example of the course's personality. Water runs down the entire right side and the tee shot tempts you into taking on driver. I played it safe with a 4-iron left, which still left a wedge into a narrow sliver of green that wasn't easy to hit. Laying up doesn't mean the trouble is over.

Hole 12 is 392m with a sloping green, the toughest par 4 on the back nine on paper. It plays every bit as hard as the length suggests.

Hole 15 was the best-looking hole on the course. Water runs the entire right side and trees line the left, so it's tight before you even reach the second shot, which has to carry the water again to find the green. I got mine close on the thin landing area and made the birdie too, so it is possible!

Hole 18 was the hardest tee shot to line up all day, playing from the back tees at 379m. I hit what I thought was a good drive in position A and never found the ball. That cost me the chance to finish under par, and I closed with a bogey for a 72.

Conditioning

Conditioning was excellent throughout, on a par with Calvià. Greens were fast and small, and the rough grabs the club enough that missing a fairway is penalised, and around the green a difficult chip is made harder again by how much the greens undulate. We played on a soft day because the sprinklers had been running heavily; when it firms up, some of those chips will get harder still.

Service And Facilities

Service was a strong point. Someone comes round the course with drinks, and the same member of staff was waiting at the 18th green to say hello as we finished. We arrived before most of the staff for the first tee time, so I can't speak to the chipping green, putting green or driving range from personal experience, but the pro shop was well stocked. The practice facilities on file are a 42-bay range with 14 covered bays and PGA coaches on site. The terrace overlooking the 18th is a good spot to finish, with a clear view down the closing hole.

Practical Information

Green fees run from €80 low season up to €150 peak in 2026, plus a compulsory €3 daily golf licence. We paid around €75 on the day we played. Buggies are available and I took one, but the course is walkable and not particularly hilly if you would rather carry or pull a trolley.

One thing to be ready for: the rough grabs the club enough that a missed green usually means a harder chip than expected, and on a firmer day than we had it will only get tougher.

Common Questions

Handicap limit is 28 for men and 34 for ladies, with a certificate required at booking. Walking is fine here, gently rolling rather than hilly, though most visitors still take a buggy. Singles can book but are usually paired with another group in season. There is a slight breeze through most of the round, nothing that dictates club selection the way it does on more exposed courses. The surprise is how isolated it feels this close to Palma airport: planes go over, but there is almost no other sign of anything beyond the course itself.

Verdict

9/10. T Golf Palma, in my mind, got some of its early reputation from sharing a name with T Golf Calvià. Playing it settled that: the conditioning, the risk-reward holes and the finish at 15 and 18 make it every bit as good a round on its own merits. It suits a player who wants to think through the tee shot rather than just swing hard, with several holes where distance control matters more than distance.

It is a good fit for anyone playing multiple rounds in the Palma area who wants a proper test without needing a full day. If you are building out a wider trip, the trip planning guide covers how to sequence courses like this alongside T Golf Calvià.
