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 » Lopesan Meloneras
Near to Maspalomas Golf Course is 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.
