Maspalomas
Gran Canaria » Maspalomas
The majority of Gran Canaria’s golf courses are in the south
of the island, which is one of the sunniest areas in the
world. Here we can find the breathtaking Maspalomas Golf,
surrounded by a nature park of sand dunes, a protected
area of more than 400 hectares, with views of the Atlantic
Ocean, palm trees and fine golden sandy beaches on the
horizon. The dunes which surround the course are a feature
incorporated into the design by Mackenzie Ross. Long and
flat, with wide fairways, the proximity of the sea and its
gentle breezes make this course a pleasant experience, thanks
to the alizé winds. Maspalomas Golf celebrated its 40th
anniversary in 2008, a memorable event attended by Green
Jacket winner José María Olazábal.
Gran Canaria » Meloneras
Near to Maspalomas Golf Course is the new Meloneras Golf,
an eighteen hole par 71 course which opened in June 2006 in
one of the most important resorts of Gran Canaria, next to the
Maspalomas Congress Centre, and near to a number of four and
five star hotels. The difficulty of the course, which begins with a
gentle par 4, is gradual, so that the player can build confidence
progressively to face the remaining holes. Meloneras Golf Course
boasts two fantastic sets of 9-holes – one with magnificent
mountain views and the other 9-holes of amazing ocean views,
three of which run directly along the coastline. The course
has four tee-off points per hole which makes it interesting for
amateurs as well as professionals.

At the side of the Cortijo Country Club is Oasis Golf, located only
10 minutes from the city of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. This par 3
course (18 holes, par 54) is considered by experts to be one of the
best in the world, being a small scale replica of a typical North
American course with all the usual hazards expected of such a
course, including lakes, white sand bunkers, palm trees and other
obstacles. Thanks to its floodlighting system, golfers can enjoy
the balmy evening temperatures in Gran Canaria to practise their
favourite sport. As a complement to the perfect day’s golf, visitors
can enjoy the gastronomy of the magnificent restaurant at the
course, El Mesón 5 Jotas.
