Ibiza is famous for what happens after dark. Golf belongs to the other island: the one of early mornings, inland pine valleys and the course in Santa Eulària, where the loudest sound is a club coming out of the bag. One club, twenty-seven holes, and a quarter of an hour to the city.

If you’re travelling with your clubs, this guide covers what you need to know before booking: what Golf Ibiza is like, what it takes to play, when to go, and how to get there from the airport with your bag. Everything verified as of September 2026.

The essentials

  • A single club: Golf Ibiza, in Santa Eulària des Riu, on the road from Jesús to Cala Llonga, about 7 km from Ibiza Town.
  • 27 holes: an 18-hole, par-72 course (1992) and the 9-hole Roca Llisa course (1972).
  • Licence: the club requires an RFEG federation licence under its booking conditions.
  • From the airport: about 17 km, around 25 minutes. With the bag, a private transfer or a car.
  • Best time: spring and autumn, with average maximums of 20-24°C.

Golf Ibiza: two courses, two characters

The club sits in a valley on the east of the island, close to the coast, between the village of Jesús and Cala Llonga. It has two very different courses.

The 18-hole course, opened in 1992 and designed, according to the Govern, by Dave Thomas with Serigolf, is par 72 and runs to about 6 km from the white tees. The club presents it as a technical, demanding course, ‘with no easy hole’, of narrow fairways among pines and with views. Every hole has its own name — Las Sabinas, El Lago, Scarface, Amazon River, Amén Corner, El Anfiteatro — which says a fair bit about the humour it’s played with here.

The 9-hole Roca Llisa course is where it all began: it was opened in 1972 by the former Roca Llisa club. It’s flat and open, quicker to play, and suits both a short round at the end of the afternoon and anyone just starting out.

The club has a practice ground, putting green and academy, plus a restaurant, Hoyo 19. What it doesn’t publish on its website are its rates, opening hours or handicap and dress rules: all of it is checked when you book your tee time.

What it takes to play

The club’s booking conditions require a federation licence from the Royal Spanish Golf Federation, which includes third-party liability insurance. If you play with a licence from another country, ask when you book how it’s verified. And one practical detail the club itself sets out in its conditions: a booking can be cancelled at no cost up to 24 hours in advance.

When to play

According to AEMET’s long-term averages at Ibiza Airport, maximum temperatures average around 19.7°C in April, 22.7°C in May and 24°C in October, against almost 30°C in July, with less rain in spring than in autumn. It’s the season of the quiet Ibiza: the one we cover in Ibiza in winter, with the island back to its residents, empty coves and a table without a booking.

How to get there from the airport with your golf bag

The course is about 17 km from the airport, around 25 minutes by car. The real options:

  • Bus. The AERO lines run from the airport to the city, to Santa Eulària and to Sant Antoni, but we haven’t been able to confirm any with a stop at the club. With a golf bag, it’s not the option.
  • Hire car. Useful if you’ll be moving around the island; if you’re planning to bring your own car by ferry, check first how Ibiza’s car-entry limit works.
  • Private transfer. From the plane to the hotel or straight to the course, in a vehicle chosen for the luggage. For a group of golfers, a single large vehicle takes everyone with their bags.

Before you fly, book your bag with your airline as sports or special luggage: it’s booked separately and has a weight limit that varies by carrier (between 20 and 32 kg among those flying to the Balearics). And when you book the transfer, mention you’re bringing clubs: a golf bag doesn’t fit like a suitcase.

If your destination on landing is the hotel and not the course, every option is covered in the guide from Ibiza Airport to your hotel.

Where to stay to play

The club sits between Jesús and Cala Llonga, so Ibiza Town and Santa Eulària are a stone’s throw away. Our selection of quiet-luxury hotels in Ibiza gathers the houses worth the trip; to play several mornings in a row, it’s worth choosing one in the east or in town.

Depending on who you are

  • You’re travelling as a couple with your clubs: a transfer from the airport to the hotel and, for your round, a car or a transfer; the course is a quarter of an hour from almost everywhere in the east.
  • You’re a group of golfers: a large vehicle with room for the bags, booked in advance, takes everyone in one trip.
  • You’re playing a single round as part of a holiday: the 9 holes of Roca Llisa, late in the afternoon, are the plan; ask about club hire when you book.

Our take

Ibiza isn’t a golfing destination, and that’s exactly its charm for anyone who plays: a single club, in a pine valley, fifteen minutes from everything, best enjoyed in October or April, when the island belongs again to the people who live there. Three things done well are enough: your licence in order, your bag booked with the airline and your transfer booked before you land.
