Golf Membership Mallorca: Costs, Joining and the Best Clubs 2026

Mallorca is one of the few Mediterranean islands where you can play golf all year round – with 24 courses, year-round play, and layouts ranging from flat coastal bays to the Tramuntana hinterland. For anyone living on the island for an extended period or permanently, a golf membership in Mallorca quickly pays for itself: even at just two rounds per month, the annual fee works out cheaper than paying individual green fees. This guide shows you exactly what the major clubs will cost in 2026, what's included, how the application process works, and which type of membership suits your playing habits – whether you're a full-time resident playing year-round or a part-time resident who's only on the island for six months.

The golf landscape on Mallorca: what you need to know

Of the 24 golf courses on the island, three are exclusively for members according to the current overview:

• Santa Ponsa II
• Golf Santa Ponsa III
• La Reserva Rotana

The remaining 21 facilities are also open to green-fee players. Of these, 19 are classic 18-hole courses; two facilities (Pollensa and Golf Son Quint Executive) play over 9 holes. Year-round play is possible at all courses – which fundamentally sets Mallorca apart from German or northern European clubs that close during winter.

For an official membership – anywhere on the island – you will generally need a Platzreife (Spanish: licencia federativa). Those who don't yet have one can obtain it through golf schools on the island; the German Golf Academy offers courses at five locations on Mallorca.

Please note: Without a valid handicap or club membership, many courses on Mallorca require proof of playing ability – factor this in before committing to a membership.

Son Antem Golf: membership prices 2026 in detail

Arabella Golf Mallorca: Four courses, one membership

Arabella Golf Mallorca manages the historically most significant courses on the island in the greater Palma area and is part of the European Tour Destinations network:

What an Arabella membership in 2026 includes

1. Playing rights on the courses according to the chosen membership category (Son Muntaner, Son Vida, Son Quint or combinations)
2. Complimentary access to changing rooms and showers at all three clubhouses, including towels
3. One complimentary manual trolley per round
4. Two complimentary 18-hole green fees at any Arabella course (e.g. for guests or when your home course is closed) – alternatively three 9-hole vouchers; with the Son Quint + Son Vida package four green fees, and with premium memberships five
5. 50% discount on the daily online green fee at courses outside your own membership
6. 30% discount on the current online green fee for guests (when booked in advance)
7. Preferential rates on electric trolleys, buggies and driving range balls
8. Discounted tournament entry fees (depending on membership category)

Please note: The commercial passing on or resale of green fee vouchers is strictly prohibited. In the event of misuse, all remaining vouchers will be cancelled.

Arabella's specific annual membership fees are published by the club on request or during a consultation – the membership page explicitly refers to a personal advisory meeting, as prices vary depending on the combination of courses and category chosen.

T Golf Club: Two courses, British-American design

The T Golf Club operates two courses on the island:

• T Golf Calvià: British-inspired course design in the south-west
• T Golf Palma: American-inspired course design

Both courses are open to green fee players and host official tournaments of the Balearic Golf Federation – including the Absolut Men's and Ladies' Championship (2026 dates: 13 and 14 June at T Golf Palma). The club positions itself as a "lifestyle club" with dining under its own brand T-elicious (restaurants open daily from 9:00 to 21:00, kitchen 12:00–19:00).

T Golf membership prices are not publicly listed on the website – it is worth contacting the club directly.

DEGOMA: The remote membership for beginners and occasional players

The Deutsche Golfclub Mallorca (DEGOMA) is an interesting special case: it offers a location-independent remote membership that is particularly suited to three groups:

• Beginner golfers who do not yet have an official handicap (entry HCP: –36)
• Casual players who do not want a long-term commitment to a local club
• Existing club members looking for an affordable second membership with a Spanish licence

DEGOMA terms 2026

Included: Entry handicap –36, free handicap management, membership card, participation in tournaments at home and abroad on guest terms, discounted green fees at partner courses via Startzeiten.de.

Contact DEGOMA: +34 871 180 230 · info@degoma.de

Please note: DEGOMA membership does not replace full membership at a local Mallorca club if you want home rights, fixed tee times, or access to members-only club areas. However, it is ideal as a first step or as a complementary option.

Green fee prices 2026: what does a round cost without membership?

To put the value of membership into perspective, here are current green fee prices at various courses during peak season (March–June 2026):

Example calculation: Anyone playing at Son Antem as a member (2.800 € / year) instead of paying 145 € green fee each time (Son Antem Ost, peak season) will have recouped the membership fee after just under 20 rounds – that is, at fewer than two rounds per month.

The Members Club Tour: reciprocity between clubs

Son Antem offers its members a Members Club Tour at: a cooperation with other courses on the island, through which members receive discounted greenfees at partner courses. The named partners include Golf de Andratx (greenfee + buggy), Golf Maioris (greenfee + trolley) and Golf Son Servera (greenfee + trolley). The offer applies exclusively to members of the participating clubs and is limited to the calendar year 2026 (1 January to 31 December).

Arabella in turn offers members 50 % off courses outside their own membership within the Arabella group – making the premium membership particularly flexible if you'd like to get to know several courses.

Joining: How to become a member

The process varies slightly from club to club, but follows a similar pattern:

1. Initial contact and consultation – Most clubs (in particular Arabella) conduct a personal conversation before prices are discussed. Bring your playing history and your current handicap.
2. Membership application – Complete the form; with DEGOMA this is fully possible online (degoma.de). At clubs with a physical presence, this is usually done in person on site.
3. Submitting documents – Typically: identity card/passport, passport photo, existing handicap card or proof of course qualification. Some clubs also require a NIE number (applying for a NIE number).
4. Paying the membership fee – Bank transfer or direct debit; many clubs offer a discount upon renewal.
5. Membership card and playing entitlement – You will receive a membership card and be registered in the handicap administration of the Balearic Golf Federation.

Please note: If you are already a resident in Mallorca and have a Spanish bank account, this considerably simplifies the process. More on this under opening a bank account in Spain.

Sustainability: The Green Swing Mallorca Circuit

A growing topic in Mallorcan golf is sustainability. The Green Swing Mallorca Circuit 2025–2026 combines competition with concrete environmental measures:

• Format: Individual Stableford, 18 holes, qualifying for handicap
• Participating clubs: Alcanada, Golf de Andratx and Golf Son Quint
• 2 € per player goes to Mallorca Preservation
• Club commitments: renewable energy, reduction of chemicals, reclaimed water irrigation, pollinator habitats, zero-waste policies

This appeals above all to those for whom sustainable living on Mallorca matters — a criterion that can certainly play a role when comparing clubs.

Most common membership mistakes

1. Miscalculating the season Anyone who, as a non-resident, is only on the island for 6 months often ends up paying unnecessarily for 12. Son Antem explicitly offers 6- and 9-month options — make use of them.

2. Passing on greenfee vouchers commercially At Arabella, reselling guest vouchers results in the immediate cancellation of all remaining ones. This is explicitly stated in the 2026 membership terms and conditions.

3. Not considering a second membership Anyone who is already a member of a German club can add an official Spanish membership number and handicap management at low cost via the DEGOMA distance membership (199 €/year), without paying a second full subscription.

4. Overlooking HCP requirements Some courses on Mallorca have strict handicap limits (e.g. Golf de Andratx: HCP 28 for men, 35 for women). Check this before joining, not after.

5. Forgetting storage costs Anyone wishing to store their clubs on the island will pay an additional 168–276 € per year at Son Antem. This is an often overlooked item in the annual budget.

What comes next? Combining golf and residency sensibly

A club membership is for many people the first real anchor on the island — the place where social connections form and daily life gains structure. Those who plan to stay permanently should simultaneously put the administrative foundations in place:

• Applying for residencia (Spanish residence permit) — a prerequisite for many club discounts and local rates
• Empadronamiento (registration on the municipal register) — often required for local bank accounts and contracts
• Taxes as a resident in Spain — understanding the tax implications of establishing residency
• Premium lifestyle on Mallorca — further information on clubs, sport and quality of life

Checklist: preparing for membership on Mallorca

• Have a current handicap card or proof of playing qualification ready
• NIE number applied for (recommended for an official membership contract)
• Spanish bank account in place for direct debit
• Clarify seasonal requirements: 6, 9 or 12 months?
• Include family on the membership? Check family rates (Son Antem: spouses/first-degree relatives)
• Check the HCP requirements of your preferred course
• Understand the guest policy: voucher rules, guest green fees
• Factor in storage requirements (club storage: from 168 €/year at Son Antem)
• Ask about a renewal discount as an existing member

Conclusion

A golf membership on Mallorca is not simply a line item for sporting expenses — it is part of the island lifestyle, and for regular players it is considerably more cost-effective than paying green fees à la carte. Son Antem offers the clearest cost structure in comparison, with transparent pricing (from 1.610 € for six months) and flexible contract durations; Arabella scores with four courses and a European Tour network; T Golf stands for lifestyle and competitive golf; DEGOMA is the most affordable entry-level option at 199 €/year for anyone who wants to find their feet first. There is the right model for every playing rhythm — you just need to know which one suits you.
