Golf Where Summer Lingers – Favourite Destinations

When summer begins to quieten, two islands still play at full volume: Mallorca and Sicily. Different as they are, both stretch your summer a little further south, hole by hole.

What do you do when summer starts to fade?

What do you do when summer starts to fade?

Simple: you follow it.

As summer starts to quieten down, two islands are still playing at full volume:

Mallorca and Sicily. Two islands that couldn’t be more different.

And yet they share one thing:

They stretch your summer out. Hole by hole.

Just a little further south.

Between olive groves, lemon trees and a private Mediterranean shoreline lies this luxury retreat – somewhere

Between olive groves, lemon trees and a private Mediterranean shoreline lies this luxury retreat – somewhere between the ancient Valley of the Temples and the fishing village of Sciacca, which looks as though someone designed it for postcards.

Made for travellers like you and me.

A place that brings together everything that makes golf travel truly special: culture, cuisine – and three courses where the sea is more than just a backdrop. But more on that in a moment …

📍 Rocco Forte Verdura Resort, Sicily

You have breakfast by the pool, the palms rustling in the wind

You have breakfast by the pool, the palms rustling in the wind. Later, you dine at Zagara with fine Sicilian elegance – or right on the beach at Amare: fresh off the boat, perhaps barefoot, thoroughly relaxed.

In between: a glass of Etna Rosso, a dip in the pool – or simply time at the Irene Forte Spa, where 4,000 m² of stillness and thalasso pools await you.

And because a good swing deserves good feedback too, there’s a 30-minute Trackman session with a golf pro in the high-tech academy box thrown in.

There are rounds that count – and rounds that stay with you. 45 holes. 5 stars. 1 feeling.

Across three links-inspired courses, you play your way through lemon groves, olive trees and open coastal views. Holiday golf at its finest, for anyone who loves their game and savours their time.

East Links – the coastal specialist with character

West Shore – The Gentle One with a Grand Finale

The West Course is the quieter of Kyle Phillips’s two designs – but only at first glance. It opens gently between olives and oranges, tracing soft lines through the Sicilian landscape, feeling almost like a stroll with a scorecard.

From the 13th, the sea comes into play – visually, audibly, tactically. And the further you play, the more it reveals what it’s really made of.

East Links – the coastal specialist with character

The East Course isn’t true links golf – but it feels damn close. With rolling fairways, open coastal views and elevated tees, it plays like a love letter to the sea. From the 5th, you’re right in the middle of the panorama – wind in your face, the Mediterranean at your side, strategy in every shot. And by the 17th at the latest, you’ll wish the final stretch would never end.

Executive Course – the small one with big benefits

Executive Course – The Small One with Big Benefits

Nine holes, all par 3 – but don’t underestimate it. Whether as a warm-up, a family round or a practice ground with a view: this is about precision, not power. About rhythm, not reach. The “short one” feels relaxed, but it’s ideal for sharpening your short game – or simply enjoying a quick round in the evening sun.

Golf holidays with kids? It works. And how

Set high above the elegant marina, with an open view out to sea, awaits a place of calm – and short distances.

T Golf Calvià, Santa Ponsa or Golf de Andratx are just minutes away – all at a relaxed pace, with exclusive green fee rates and complimentary hotel transfers.

As a guest at Pure Salt, you play flexibly, whenever and wherever you like – while enjoying attractive green fee benefits. A complimentary shuttle takes you comfortably to the courses.

After the round, there’s time for you: perhaps a few lengths in the pool, a walk by the water – or simply nothing at all, save for sun, wind and that particular lightness that makes Mallorca so special in the off-season.

Discover Pure Salt

Just 5 minutes from the tee: from Pure Salt Port Adriano, you’re at T Golf Calvià in no time at all – perfect for anyone who wants to tee off in a relaxed mood in the morning and switch straight back into holiday mode after the round.

📍T Golf Calvia, Mallorca

Two courses, one golfer's dream

Two Courses, One Golfer’s Dream

If you love golf in Mallorca, there’s no getting around T Club. The combination of T Golf Calvià and T Golf Palma Puntiró gives you two outstanding courses – each with its own character. Calvià offers wide fairways and glorious natural surroundings, while Puntiró brings a sporty design in the style of Nicklaus.

And because the 19th hole is famously just as important, a visit to the clubhouse is well worth it: whether Mediterranean cuisine on the sun terrace in Calvià or relaxed drinks in Puntiró – T Club knows how to bring a round of golf to a stylish close.

Two courses. One click.
