What are the best golf clubs in Ibiza?

Ibiza has just one golf club, which is likely to be the focal point of your trip. Located about 7 km from Ibiza Town, Golf Ibiza offers two distinct courses. Those who want a challenge during their golf trip to Ibiza can try the main 18-hole course. It's a hilly course built around pine forests, and requires a very technical game. The 9-hole Roca Llisa course is a better option for beginners or those who want a fast-paced game, as it's flatter and more open. You could try both courses as part of your golf holiday in Ibiza, as they're conveniently located near plenty of villas in Ibiza Town.

Where should I stay for a golf holiday in Ibiza?

The good news is that Golf Ibiza is a very short drive from the island's capital, so it makes sense to look for holiday lettings in Ibiza Town. This way, you'll be just 7 km away from two golf courses, but you'll also have all the convenient amenities you need for your stay. When not on the links, you can explore the Dalt Vila, the historic old town which is recognised by UNESCO for its beauty and culture. An apartment in Ibiza Town also gives you access to great shopping and excellent restaurants. However, as this is a small island, don't feel limited by geography. To be honest, you could look for villas in Ibiza anywhere for your golf getaway in Ibiza. Santa Eulalia, Portinatx, and Cala Llonga are all good choices if you want to relax and alternate golf days with beach days. Ibiza is also a popular spot for combining sport with wellness, so you might want to round out your trip with a yoga retreat in Ibiza, dropping into a sunrise beach class or rooftop studio session between rounds. Keep in mind that you will probably need to hire a car to get around; if you do that, then the world's your oyster and you can choose any holiday lettings in Ibiza that you like.

FAQs: Golf holidays in Ibiza

What's the best time of year for a golf trip to Ibiza?

Golf Ibiza is open 365 days a year, so you can choose any season for your golfing holiday. That being said, you might prefer to avoid the summer months. The weather in July and August is extremely hot, which can make a round of golf very uncomfortable. What's more, the island becomes crowded during these peak season months, so prices go up and you might find it hard to truly relax. For a more chilled-out stay, visit from September to June.

Is there a strict dress code at golf clubs in Ibiza?

Yes, but don't be alarmed - Golf Ibiza uses the standard dress code that you'll find at golf clubs around the world. You should wear a collared shirt (polos are permitted) and tailored shorts or trousers, along with suitable footwear. The club is known to be quite strict about dress code, so don't try to wing it. Logos and sportswear are not welcome, so make sure you have a suitable logo-free hat to keep the hot Ibizan sun from your face.

How much does a round of golf cost in Ibiza?

Golf Ibiza has fixed prices all year round, with no difference between high and low season. At the current rates, adults must pay €120 for the 18-hole course or €80 for the 9-hole course. VIP rates, which include a driving range token, a set of clubs, a restaurant voucher, and buggy rental, are also available. Buggy hire on its own typically costs around €40, and club rental is around €40 per set. Junior players, defined as under 18, receive discounted rates, making this a viable option for families. The club's pro shop sells balls, gloves, and clothing if you've forgotten anything, although prices are higher than you'd pay at home.

Where can I find family-friendly golf facilities in Ibiza?

Golf Ibiza welcomes younger players, and even offers special reduced prices for kids and teens. The 9-hole Roca Llisa course is great for youngsters, although the 18-hole course may be too complex for them and lead to frustration. The club also has a driving range and practice facilities where eager kids can improve their game. For something a bit less formal, there are also a couple of mini golf courses on the west side of the island, in the Sant Antoni area. Group lessons with the club's PGA-qualified pros are available during the school holidays, which is an excellent way for children to learn the basics. Footgolf is also available in a couple of locations and is fantastic fun for active kids.

Do I need to show my handicap certificate to play golf in Ibiza?

Officially, you will need to bring your handicap certificate to the club, with a maximum of 28 for men or 36 for women. Some golfers report that they have been allowed to play without a certificate - but as always, it's better to be safe than sorry, so it's wise to bring it with you anyway. If you don't already have valid golf insurance, then you'll be charged a fee for temporary coverage. A digital copy of your certificate on your phone is usually accepted, but a printed back-up can save you hassle if you can't get a phone signal at the club. If you're a beginner, ask whether you can prove your ability with a short range session before tee-off.
