Frequently Asked
What's the dress code?+
Smart-casual at dinners. The Welcome Dinner is the kit reveal, so wear something you don't mind hiding under team colours from Day One onwards.
What's the weather like in late September?+
Mallorca in late September averages 26°C by day, 18°C overnight. Low rainfall, low humidity. Pack short sleeves for golf, a layer for evenings.
Currency & tipping?+
Euros. Card is accepted almost everywhere. Tipping is appreciated but not obligatory — round up at bars, ~10% at restaurants if service was good.
Phones & data?+
Spain is in the EU; UK roaming charges may apply depending on your network. Most hotels and bars have free WiFi. Bring an adapter if your charger is two-pin.
Caddies & buggies?+
Buggies are included on all three rounds. No caddies — carry your own thoughts.
What do I bring for padel and mini golf?+
Rackets and balls provided. Trainers required for padel — no spikes, no leather soles.
House Rules
Play it as it lies.
Stones are loose impediments. Sprinkler heads are part of the course. Free relief is a state of mind.
Slow Play
Keep up.
Ready golf at all times. Two-shot penalty for excessive lining-up of three-foot putts.
Disputes
Captains decide.
All on-course disputes are resolved by the two captains. The Chairman's word, on all other matters, is final.
