Where to play golf in the Balearics, and what it costs

The Balearics have around twenty golf courses, almost all in Mallorca, just one in Menorca and a two-course club in Ibiza. Green fees run from around 75 to more than 200 euros depending on the season, with beginner and children's schools at several sites. Here is where to play, at what level, and what it really costs.

The federation licence costs, for the 2025 season (the last published rate at the time of writing), 106.70 euros for an adult with an official handicap, 94.10 euros without one, and 29.20 to 48.10 euros for junior categories depending on age.
