Club de Golf Alcanada is considered – by golfers – the best golf course on the beautiful Balearic Island of Mallorca. The course is situated in the Alcudia Bay, on a stretch of land which slopes gently down to the edge of the sea. It is covered with pine, olive and holm oak trees while almost every hole provides a great view of the unmistakable lighthouse and the Sierra de Levante mountains. The course itself was designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Jr. and a reasonably strong handicap is recommended. Green fees start at around – € 64.50.

PGA Catalunya is the latest resort to be added to our directly bookable clubs, and it’s about time! Its reputation certainly precedes it here. Known around Europe as the host for many prestigious professional events (Spanish Open x3). With two world-class golf courses consistently ranked among the best in Europe, PGA Catalunya Resort has everything the insightful golfer could wish for. The course itself is very beautiful but also quite difficult. With its naturally undulating terrain, the fairways can seem quite narrow when you are driving off from the tee. However, they open up for the second shot, before reaching greens which are wide but full of secrets. Green fees here start around – €71 (Tour Course), – €89 (Stadium Course)

Upon its opening in 2005, Golf Santander was considered one the best golf courses in Spain. The Rees Jones design has since become a popular destination for golfers and has jumped into our list at number 4. The course is located just 20 minutes from the center of Madrid, making it easily accessible from anywhere in Europe. Although it is one of the longest courses in Europe, it successfully balances this challenge by including up to 8 tee-off platforms per hole. This has undoubtedly contributed to the course’s popularity, as it offers enjoyment to the advanced and beginners alike. Green fees are a little expensive here – € 120.

The fact that Las Colinas maintains such an impressive rating from almost 300 reviews is a credit to the course in itself. This is architect Cabell B. Robinson’s third course on our list and has been voted as one of the top 100 golf courses in continental Europe. The course itself is long, undulating and requires a buggy but it nestles into its surrounding environment so well. One of the best golf courses in the Valencian Community!
