Treat yourself to some sunshine on a golf trip to Menorca

What could be better than a round of golf on a paradise island in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea? Smaller and quieter than Mallorca and Ibiza, Menorca is a top destination for anyone who loves nature. The entire island is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, so you'll be surrounded by natural beauty. Menorca boasts an 18-hole golf club where you can play a round while you enjoy fresh island air and views of the sea. What are you waiting for?

Planning a golf holiday in Menorca

Where can I play golf in Menorca?

Menorca has a single 18-hole golf club, Golf Son Parc Menorca. This Par 71 course was designed by Dave Thomas, and it's the centrepoint of any golf holiday in Menorca. You'll play on a course that winds its way through scenic pine woods, with views of mountains and wetlands. The course itself is designed to challenge golfers, with dog-legs and tricky bunkers. Watch out for the colony of colourful peacocks which call the golf club home - a delightful sight that can make your golf trip to Menorca feel even more special. The club also has a driving range, putting and chipping greens, and a pleasant clubhouse with sea views where you can enjoy lunch or a post-round drink after exploring the fairways.

Where should I stay on a golf trip to Menorca?

Golf Son Parc is located in the north-east of the island, but as Menorca is very small, you can really stay anywhere that appeals. Even if you go for a villa in Binibeca, down in the south of the island, it'll only take you about half an hour to drive to the golf club. That's great news if you plan to combine your golf getaway in Menorca with other activities, or if you're travelling with your family and not everyone is quite so keen on golf! Look for villas in Cala en Porter or villas in Cala Galdana if you want beach resorts with plenty of opportunities to soak up the sun. The island is also a fantastic spot for combining your golf with a hiking holiday in Menorca, walking sections of the famous Camí de Cavalls coastal path between rounds. For something a little more cultural, consider holiday lettings in Menorca in Ciutadella, a historic fortified city with plenty of beautiful old buildings to explore. On the other hand, if golf is your main priority, look for villas in Menorca around the Son Parc area, and you can easily get to the club day after day.

FAQs: Golf holidays in Menorca

What's the best time of year for a golf holiday in Menorca?

Menorca's golf club is open all year round, but green fees vary. November to February is the cheapest time to play, so that's the time to visit if you're on a budget; the Menorcan winter is not cold, but it can be very windy. You'll also enjoy a slight discount in the spring and autumn, when the weather is warmer and more pleasant. The golf club's prices are highest from July to September, when the hot, sunny weather attracts huge crowds to the island.

What kind of dress code can I expect at golf clubs in Menorca?

Golf Son Parc has a standard dress code, as you'd expect in clubs all over the world. You must wear a collared shirt and tailored trousers or shorts. Logos, sports jerseys, and flip-flops are not permitted. The club is known to be quite strict on the matter of dress code, so don't try to take your chances. Dress appropriately to avoid any problems. Smart trainers are acceptable if you don't have golf shoes, but metal spikes are banned. The dress code applies in the clubhouse and restaurant as well, so pack something smart-casual for post-round meals. Hats should be removed indoors. The on-site pro shop sells suitable golf attire if you've forgotten anything, although prices are higher than at home.

How much does a round of golf in Menorca generally cost?

Golf Son Parc operates a sliding scale of prices, depending on the time of year that you visit. Green fees are most expensive from July to September, when 18 holes will cost you €85. From November to February, that price drops to €60, and it gradually gets higher during the spring. Golfers on a budget can opt for just nine holes for a lower price. Buggy hire is around €30 per round, and you can rent clubs at the pro shop for a similar fee. Junior players and seniors receive discounted rates, and group packages are available for parties of four or more. Twilight rates also kick in during the late afternoon and can shave a useful amount off the standard fee.

Are there any facilities in Menorca where kids can play golf?

Golf Son Parc welcomes youngsters, with discount prices for golfers under the age of 18. There's a golf academy on-site, running classes and courses for kids during the school year. A driving range and putting green give children and inexperienced golfers the chance to get some practice in before hitting the main course. If your kids have well and truly caught the golfing bug, there are also several mini golf facilities in the island's resort areas. Group lessons with PGA-qualified coaches are available during the summer school holidays, and family green-fee packages are sometimes offered if you'd like to play a casual round together. For very young children, footgolf is a relaxed introduction to the idea of getting a ball into a hole.

Do I need to show a handicap certificate to play golf in Menorca?

Yes. Golf Son Parc requires visitors to bring their handicap certificate with a maximum of 36. You will also need golf insurance that's valid in Spain. Many travel insurance policies cover golf, but be sure to check that yours is valid. You will need to show proof of insurance before you are allowed to play. If you don't have insurance, the club can sell you temporary coverage on the day, although this adds to the cost of your round. A digital version of your handicap certificate on your phone is usually accepted, but a printed back-up is sensible in case of signal issues. Beginners may sometimes be allowed to play after demonstrating sufficient skill on the practice range.
