Salobre Golf & Resort (South)
Salobre Golf & Resort (South)
Just a few minutes from Maspalomas, is an area of outstanding
natural beauty characteristic of the island of Gran Canaria, with
ravines, volcanic rock and spectacular mountain and ocean
views. This is where the Salobre Golf & Resort can be found.
The manicured green gardens contrast with the rugged desert
landscape, creating an tranquil oasis in which to enjoy a round of
golf. This resort is unique in that it has two eighteen hole courses.
The South Course was designed by Roland Fauvré, in close
collaboration with Robert Trend Jones, and it blends in
with the topography of the area and local vegetation, where
some 600 different species of plants and trees have been planted.
The course, with a wide variety of holes, is very enjoyable for
all levels of golfer.
Salobre Golf & Resort (North)
The Salobre Golf & Resort North Course is a welcome addition
to the Gran Canaria golf scene. This eighteen hole par 72 course
has a style which also reflects the influence of North American
courses. Winding through the hills and valleys of the resort, this
course offers an authentic challenge to players who enjoy top
quality golf whilst admiring impressive views and scenery. The
resort also houses a five star Sheraton Hotel.

Real Club De Las Palmas
There are three separate courses in and around Las Palmas city,
the most famous of which is Spain’s oldest golf club, the Real
Club de Golf de Las Palmas, founded in 1891. The eighteen hole
par 71 course, designed by Mackenzie Ross in 1956, is in Bandama.
Alongside it is an extinct volcanic crater 800 metres in diameter
and 200 metres deep, testimony to the volcanic origins of the
Canary Islands, some 14 millions years ago. The course enjoys
spectacular views of the top of the crater and of the sea, as
well as striking ravines. It’s a relatively short course with narrow
fairways, small greens and hazards throughout the course. Next to
the first tee is the VIK Bandama Golf Hotel for those who wish to
spend the night near the course, in which the facilities and service
are first class.
El Cortijo Club De Campo
El Cortijo Club de Campo was the venue for the 2002 Spanish
Open, and for many other international championships such
as the Peugeot Oki Tours, the Spanish Professional Seniors’
Championship, and the Spanish Professional Women’s
Championship. This eighteen hole par 72 course, designed by
Blake Stirling and Marco Martin, is one of the longest courses
in Spain, with up to six tee-offs per hole, allowing for a range
of difficulty and diversity. The greens are fast, the course has six
lakes and has more than 600 palm trees, and has spectacular
views of the sea that surround the island. Its quality has
been recognised with a TUV certificate, and the ISO14001 for
environmental management.
