Because We Love Golf in Spain!

Hola, buenos días or buenas tardes... Mucho gusto! When it's grey and cold at home, Mallorca and Marbella are barely 2.5 hours away, with sunshine, top golf courses, and the season's finest hotel inspirations.

Hola, buenos días or buenas tardes… Mucho gusto!

Our longing is at its greatest when everything here is grey and cold, and it feels as though summer might never return. Exactly like now! But soon the best time of year for us golfers begins again: the first swings on perfectly manicured fairways, the satisfying “plop” as the ball rolls onto the green, and the pure anticipation of unforgettable rounds. That’s the magic of the season’s start — and we can bring it forward even further with just a short flight around the corner.

To Mallorca or Marbella, for instance — you’re there in as little as 2.5 hours! Beaches await that feel almost as if they belong to you alone. Sunshine that warms pleasantly instead of burning you. On top of that, there are exquisite restaurants, first-class golf courses, luxurious hotels, and exciting sightseeing and shopping hotspots.

Our inspirations today make starting your season easy! Read on…

A stroll through Pollença

A Stroll Through Pollença

It’s little wonder that even Agatha Christie fell for the charm of this enchanting town and wrote her novel “Problem at Pollensa Bay” here. In Pollença, time seems to amble along gently, while you wander the cobbled lanes, discover hidden art galleries, or settle into one of the cosy cafés simply to celebrate life. And anyone who claims that pleasure and fitness don’t mix hasn’t yet climbed the 365 steps of El Calvari.

Love locks at Cap de Formentor

Love Locks at Cap de Formentor

Sheer cliffs up to 400 metres high plunge straight into the turquoise Mediterranean, while the horizon seems to stretch on forever. The tradition of immortalising love with a padlock is as mystical as it is romantic. And it’s found its way to Mallorca, too. Even if you don’t bring a padlock of your own, a visit is well worth it. Cap de Formentor is a must for anyone who loves spectacular views: here, the sea flirts with the cliffs, and the horizon seems endless. A place that steals hearts — with or without a padlock.

Fairways & Flair — How to Golf on Mallorca …

Mallorca's golfing heaven awaits you

Mallorca’s Golfing Heaven Awaits You

Golf Club Son Gual on Mallorca isn’t just a course that seems to have sprung straight from golf-course-designer heaven — it’s also a hotspot for famous faces. Even former US President Barack Obama couldn’t resist playing a round at Son Gual during a stopover on the island in November 2024.

Son Gual is firmly in German hands — from the owner right down to the guests. Here you’ll run into familiar faces such as Sonja Zietlow, Sven Ottke and Paul Janke. And if your drive isn’t quite going the way you’d like, Olaf Möhle, the club’s German golf pro, is on hand with advice and support.

Porsche DNA on the fairway

Porsche DNA on the Fairway

One of the most famous images of Mallorca — and every golfer knows it: the brilliant green fairway, the striking lighthouse, and behind it the endless blue of the sea. We’re talking about Club de Golf Alcanada in the northeast of Mallorca, a course quite rightly known as “the Porsche of golf courses”. Not only for its incomparable beauty and elegance, which genuinely bring the legendary sports cars to mind, but also because this golf course actually belongs to the Porsche dynasty.

It hardly needs saying that everything at Alcanada is kept in immaculate condition. Far more exciting is how the course challenges you — an experience that will make any golfer’s heart beat that little bit faster.

A new golf course in Sotogrande?

Jacobo Cestino, CEO of the La Zagaleta Group, and golf course architect Tom Doak

Breaking News!

A New Golf Course in Sotogrande?

Majarambuz — come again?! The name sounds like a tongue-twister, but behind it lies an ambitious project: another elite golf course is set to be built in Sotogrande. And as Jacobo Cestino, CEO of the La Zagaleta Group, aptly puts it: “Nobody here really needs an average golf club.” That’s why we’ve hired Tom Doak, known for his minimalist, sand-dune style, which he’s honed to perfection.

But it’s not just about golf! Plans include 62 exclusive villas, 40 apartments, and a boutique hotel with 120 to 150 rooms. Majarambuz aims to become one of the newest and finest golf clubs in Europe.

Green fee meets exclusivity:

The La Zagaleta New Course

Tougher than the rest — and yet a place full of magic. Welcome to the La Zagaleta New Course, where opposites blend as harmoniously as a well-turned oxymoron. Unlike the “Old Course”, non-members are also allowed to play here. But exclusivity remains the trump card: access is strictly limited in time. Just three hours a day, on a mere 200 days a year, this paradise opens up to us regular green-fee players — at a surprisingly affordable price of €190 to €250.
