What to pack for your next golf holiday: essentials & clever tips
1. Your golf clubs – packed ready for travel
It sounds obvious, but traveling with clubs requires more than just a bag. Tips:
- Use a sturdy travel case (ideally hard-shell if flying).
- Remove the club heads (if removable) and cushion them with towels.
- Attach a luggage tag with your destination address.
- Pack a spare pair of gloves in your carry-on luggage in case your luggage is delayed.
Pro tip: If you’re flying to Spain or Mallorca, check your airline’s sports baggage policy—many allow golf bags as part of your free baggage allowance. Alternatively, rent clubs on-site
2. Lightweight, versatile golf clothing
In a Mediterranean climate, breathability, sun protection, and appropriate style are important. Many resorts—including Canyamel Golf—prefer a relaxed yet elegant dress code.
Pack in:
- 2–3 golf polo shirts
- Lightweight shorts or pants (quick-drying is ideal)
- Foldable rain jacket or windbreaker
- Belt & neutral shoes (can be combined with multiple outfits)
- Casual outfit for the 19th hole (clubhouse or terrace)
Tip: Pack in layers – mornings can be chilly, especially in spring or late autumn.
3. Sun protection is a must
Mallorca’s sun is intense – especially during long rounds on open fairways.
Don’t forget:
- High SPF sunscreen
- Golf or visor
- Polarized sunglasses with UV protection
- Lip balm with SPF
- Cooling towel or neckband for hot days
Extra tip: Many clubhouses sell sunscreen – but your favorite brand is often better and helps prevent unnecessary sunburn.
4. Golf shoes that are suitable for travel
Take along:
- 1 pair of breathable, waterproof golf shoes
- Additional golf socks (don't underestimate them!)
- Optional: lightweight sneakers for travel days.
Tip: Break in new shoes before your trip – otherwise you risk getting blisters.
5. Small accessories with a big impact
Little things that make the difference:
Pack in:
- Pitchfork & Ball Marker
- Extra Balls and Tees
- Golf Gloves
- Scorecard Holder or Notebook
- Compact Umbrella
Note: Mallorca’s weather is mostly sunny – but wind or a short shower cannot be ruled out.
6. Useful apps & documents
Important:
- Tee-time confirmation (printed or digital)
- Proof of handicap (if required by the club)
- Travel insurance with coverage for sports equipment
- Golf GPS or scoring app (including course maps)
Tip: Many top golf courses now offer digital scorecards and online check-in – check the website in advance.
7. More than just golf – island enjoyment included
When you travel to Mallorca, leave room for:
- Swimsuit & sandals (beach time!)
- Chic, lightweight evening outfit for restaurants
- Small backpack for excursions
- Mallorca offers more than just golf: from historic villages to turquoise bays – explore the island in style.
