The only golf course in Mallorca with direct views of a century-old lighthouse

Talking about a golf course in Mallorca with a true identity requires going beyond design, even beyond course conditions. In our case, at Golf Alcanada, the defining feature is unique: the constant presence of a century-old lighthouse visible from almost the entire course, fully integrated into the playing experience.

This is not a decorative feature, but a structural element of the course that shapes how players perceive it, how they orient themselves, and how each hole is experienced.

A course designed around a historic landmark

The Alcanada lighthouse is not a replica or symbolic feature: it is a real structure inaugurated in 1861, located on a small island in front of the course and still operating in an automated way.

Its presence defines the identity of Golf Alcanada:

• Visible from most holes.
• Located just a short distance from the coastline, facing the course.
• Integrated as a symbol of the club and part of its visual identity.

This makes it the only golf course in Mallorca where players maintain a constant visual reference to a historic lighthouse throughout the round.

Location

Its location is not accidental; it is the foundation of the entire project, as the course sits directly on the Bay of Alcúdia, on the front line of the Mediterranean.

This means:

• Open, unobstructed views from every hole.
• Constant interaction with sea winds.
• A protected natural environment that shapes the course design.

Unlike other courses on the island, the sea is not an occasional backdrop here; it is present throughout the entire round.

Technical design

The course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., one of the most renowned golf course architects worldwide.

The course features:

• 18 holes with a strategic layout.
• Natural integration into the Mediterranean landscape.
• Bunkers and greens designed to demand precision and decision-making.

The result is a course that goes beyond aesthetics, requiring reading, strategy, and control in every shot.
