In the north of Mallorca, where the horizon blurs between sea and sky, lies a place where golf becomes an art form: Alcanada Golf Club.
A vision brought to life
It all began in 1985, when Hans-Peter Porsche, grandson of the legendary automotive founder, partnered with Federico Knuchel to pursue a dream: to build a golf course that would enhance, not alter, Mallorca’s natural beauty. After years of meticulous planning and three years of construction, that dream became reality in 2003, with the opening of an 18-hole course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. (golf-alcanada.com, RFEd Golf)
Golf that flows with the land
Stretching 6,499 metres, the course integrates seamlessly into the landscape, offering panoramic views of the sea and the iconic Alcanada lighthouse on its small offshore island. Every hole presents a blend of beauty and challenge, ideal for golfers of all levels.
Excellence, reinvented
In 2019, the course underwent a complete renovation, upgrading greens, bunkers, and irrigation systems. It also added Toptracer technology at the driving range, giving players access to cutting-edge training experiences that rival top international facilities.
Home of prestigious tournaments
Alcanada’s high standards have made it a proud host of the European Challenge Tour Grand Final in 2019, 2022, and 2024. In the latest edition, Norwegian player Kristoffer Reitan claimed victory, while Spain’s Ángel Ayora secured promotion to the DP World Tour.
More than just golf
After a round, players can unwind at the on-site restaurant run by Casa Gallega, enjoying local and international dishes from a sun-drenched terrace with unbeatable views. The pro shop offers premium gear and exclusive keepsakes for those who want to take a piece of Alcanada home.
Live near the fairway
If you've ever dreamed of making this lifestyle your own, an exclusive luxury villa just minutes from the course is currently for sale. Nestled in the heart of a peaceful forest, this property offers total privacy, refined comfort, and the rare privilege of living next to one of Europe’s most prestigious golf destinations.
