Maspalomas Golf
18 Holes
Par 73
6,723 yards
Designed by Mackenzie Ross, this delightful Parkland golf course is located close to the famous Maspalomas beach. The course is bordered by sand dunes that separate it from the sea which along with the sea breezes, both often come into play. The 18 holes are strategically placed among large bunkers and will certainly provide an interesting challenge.
The two short holes on the front nine are straightforward however the tee-shot at the 154 yard 16th must carry a small lake all the way to the green and will set a challenge to even the most skilled golfer.
Transfer time 10 mins (approx)
Meloneras Golf
18 Holes Par 71 6493 yards This picturesque championship golf course was designed by award-winning architect Ron Kirby and is a fantastic course to challenge players of all handicaps. The front nine have great views over to the mountains while the back nine boarder the ocean, offering a contrasting panoramic perspective.
Kirby has sympathetically designed the course which integrates into the Canarian landscapes natural beauty and includes the 14th and 16th holes where you are forced to hit over a rocky ravine with precision.
Transfer time 10 mins (approx)
Salobre Golf (Old Course)
18 Holes Par 71 6760 yards This is a course of stunning contrasts, with the lush course greenery acting as a backdrop to the amazing views over the volcanic terrain and the ocean. Palm-lined fairways weave their way through old lava outcrops, leading to tiered greens which will test accuracy. The 8th and 12th offer an interesting challenge with water hazards protecting the greens. Transfer time 15 mins (approx)
Anfi Tauro Golf
Anfi Tauro Golf 18 holes Par 72 6917 yards Ranked within the top 20 golf courses in Spain, this Arizona style golfing gem of a course offers dramatic mountain views with a privileged coastal setting. This magnificent course was designed by Von Hagge, Smelek and Baril, highly acclaimed for their innovative designs. It can be a demanding course, however with five sets of tees on hand, it makes the challenge accessible for all levels of golfer. Transfer time approx 20 mins
Meloneras Resort
This chic, sophisticated resort is certainly the island's most upmarket place to stay. The shopping malls are filled with high-end boutiques and designer labels, a fantastic choice of restaurants, cafes and bars along the promenade and the golden sandy beach runs from the lighthouse to the sand dunes of Maspalomas - the perfect place to relax. At night, there are a number of bars and venues to chill out and perhaps see the sunset or enjoy live music. The nightlife is a little more discerning compared to its noisy neighbour down the road; Playa del Ingles.

Carriage of Clubs
We advise you to use a light golf bag when packing your clubs. We suggest you wrap a towel round the neck of the clubs to protect them and stop them rattling around whilst in transit. It is also important to then place the bag and clubs in an outer carrying bag, which can be purchased from any good golf shop. There is an extra charge for golf club carriage prices vary by airline. Please call for up to date prices
What to Wear
Golf attire during the day. We suggest smart casual for the evenings. The hotel requires gentlemen to wear long trousers at dinner. No shorts are permitted.
Golf shoes with soft spikes are required.
Gratuities
We suggest a Group Collection to cover transfer drivers, and hotel staff of €20.00 per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % add on.
Passports and visas
To enter the Canary Islands your passport must meet 2 requirements. It must be:
- less than 10 years old on the day you enter (check the ‘date of issue’)
