Brijuni Golf Course
Pula
Brijuni Golf Course is one of Croatia’s most unusual and memorable golf experiences, set inside Brijuni National Park on Veliki Brijun Island, just off the Istrian coast. Reached by boat from Fažana, near Pula, it offers something very different from a standard resort round: peaceful island golf surrounded by Mediterranean trees, coastline, wildlife and national park scenery.
The course has a remarkable history, with golf played on Brijuni since 1922. The National Park notes that the first tournament was held in March 1923, and the course was once considered one of the largest in Europe. It was also shaped during golf’s golden age, with later design work linked to Tom Simpson and George C. Thomas.
Today, the course offers 18 holes, playing to par 71 and measuring 5,492 metres. It is accessible for a wide range of golfers, with wide fairways, bunkers, trees, bushes and water hazards creating a relaxed but still interesting test. One of its quirks is the eco-friendly maintenance approach: no pesticides are used and the course is not watered, so conditions change naturally with the weather.
For a Croatia golf holiday, Brijuni works brilliantly as a distinctive island round within an Istria itinerary. It can be combined with time in Pula, Rovinj or Fažana, plus coastal exploring, history and local food. Hashtag Golf Travel can help plan the ferry timings, accommodation, transfers and tee times so the whole experience feels easy, not fiddly.

About The Area
Sa Coma is a great choice for a Mallorca golf holiday if your group wants a relaxed beach base on the island’s east coast with several strong courses within easy reach. It has a friendly resort feel, a long sandy beach, clear shallow water and plenty of restaurants and bars, so it works especially well for golfers travelling with partners, families or mixed groups. The official Balearic Islands tourism site describes Sa Coma beach as more than 850 metres long, with fine white sand, transparent water and summer services including sunbeds, parasols and watersports.
For golf, Sa Coma is well placed for Pula Golf, Club de Golf Son Servera, Canyamel Golf and Capdepera Golf. Pula Golf is a par-72 course redesigned by José María Olazábal and has hosted events including the Mallorca Classic and the Olazábal & Nadal Invitational. Pula Golf Resort Son Servera adds another excellent local option, founded in 1967 and recognised as the first course in eastern Mallorca.
Away from golf, we would recommend walking or cycling into the protected Punta de n’Amer peninsula, which separates Sa Coma and Cala Millor. It is ideal for a gentle off-course morning, with coastal paths, sea views and the old watchtower as a lovely stopping point. Porto Cristo and the Caves of Drach are also easy additions for a non-golf day.
Our tip: choose Sa Coma if your group wants an easy-going Mallorca golf break with beach time, good-value resort facilities and four quality east-coast golf courses nearby.
