Canary Islands Golf Course Guide GOLF ALL YEAR AROUND

The best golf courses in unique settings

Play golf this spring – all year around

Excellence in quality and services

Most of the golf courses in the Canary Islands were designed by renowned professionals who were capable of designing attractive courses to challenge expert players and gentler courses for beginners. They are all in unique settings with views of spectacular sand dunes, majestic volcanoes, green mountains, deep ravines and, overlooking it all, the ocean.

The privileged Canary Island climate makes the archipelago the perfect place for playing golf, with an average temperature of 23º and 365 days of sunshine. Winters are gentle, with little rain and summers are stable without excessive heat. Indeed, a growing number of professional and amateur golfers choose the Canary Islands for playing all year around.

The golf courses on the Canary Islands have high quality levels and all the services you need. Modern and comfortable facilities designed so that you only have to worry about improving your game and enjoy being out of doors. There is a full range of accommodation available. All this is complemented by a first-class and varied selection of other possibilities (spas, leisure, museums, shopping centres, etc.)

Another great advantage of playing golf on the islands is how easy it is for players to move from one course to another, thanks to efficient connections between them (average flight time: 25 minutes).

There are currently more than twenty golf courses on the Canary Islands and every year they host famous professional tournaments on a local, national and international scale.
