Club de Golf Alcanada

A lighthouse islet in view from most of the course.

Alcanada sits on the northern shore of the Bay of Alcúdia, inside an environmentally protected area on the lighthouse road out of Port d’Alcúdia. Hans-Peter Porsche had the idea in the mid-1980s, and it took thirteen years of permits and three years of building before the club opened on 1 October 2003. The reward is a quiet course of old olive and pine trees where the small islet of Alcanada and its lighthouse appear again and again over your shoulder. At €230 in spring and autumn it is the dearest of the four Mallorca courses in this group, so it pays to time the visit for the cheaper weeks.

Club de Golf Alcanada green fees and tee times.

Tee times are booked online on the club’s own system. Bookings are confirmed at once, no prepayment is taken and cancellation terms are flexible. Every player needs a daily golf licence at €3, which you can add during the online booking or pay at the pro shop; holders of a Spanish Golf Federation licence show proof instead. The club sets a maximum playing handicap of 33 for men and 35 for women, so bring a certificate or app record. For questions, the club answers on +34 971 54 95 60, by email at info@golf-alcanada.com or on WhatsApp at +34 628 388 017. A nine-hole Afterwork ticket with a pull trolley costs €95 in high season and €59 in the off-season, and a buggy can be added for €15.

The round, in perspective.

Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed the course, which measures 6,559 metres from the back. The club keeps its hole notes short and blunt: the 1st asks for patience, the 11th for length, the 15th has a long green and the 17th a big one. The 13th has a single note, “The view!”, and the club says the lighthouse can be seen from most of the course. The 16th is long but plays slightly downhill. The club’s own pitch is course condition rather than difficulty. Alcanada staged the Challenge Tour’s Grand Final for the sixth time from 29 October to 1 November 2026, the event where players earn their cards for the DP World Tour, so expect the course to be closed to visitors around those late-October dates in future years too.

Make the trip work.

Alcanada works as the anchor of a north-of-the-island stay rather than a day trip from Palma. Play in the morning and leave the afternoon for Alcúdia’s walled old town. Junior fees are set by age band (€45 for 5–12, €60 for 13–18 and €100 for 19–24 on the full round), which makes it a reasonable choice for a family where only some of you play. The range costs €20 with unlimited balls, so arrive early if you want a proper warm-up.

Fly into Palma de Mallorca (PMI). The club is on the Carretera del Faro, the lighthouse road outside Port d’Alcúdia, roughly 65 km north-east of the airport; allow about 50 minutes by car on the Ma-13 motorway. There is no rail link to the course, so hire a car or book a transfer from your hotel in Alcúdia or Port de Pollença.

Somewhere to settle in.

The club has a restaurant but no hotel. Most golfers base themselves in Port d’Alcúdia, a short drive along the bay, where resort hotels line the beach, or inside the walls of Alcúdia old town, which has smaller hotels in restored stone houses. Port de Pollença, around 15 minutes north, is quieter and has a seafront promenade. If you want to split the week, a second base in Palma puts Son Gual and the south-west courses within easy reach.

Make a trip of it.

Golf Pollença is the nearest other course, a short drive north towards Pollença. Pula Golf at Son Servera is about an hour down the east coast. Away from golf, the Roman ruins of Pollentia sit just outside Alcúdia’s medieval walls, and the road to Cap de Formentor, with its lighthouse and cliff viewpoints, makes a fine half-day drive from Port de Pollença.

Find your season.

The club’s high season runs from mid-March to the end of May and from mid-September to the end of October, when the €230 fee applies. June to mid-September drops to €190, and in those hot months the twilight and Afterwork tickets let you play in the cooler evening. The lowest fees fall in early January to early February and the first three weeks of December.
