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 .
