Campo de Golf de Maspalomas

In the midst of a breath-taking landscape consisting of sand dunes and palm trees is the Maspalomas course, two time host to the European PGA Tour and a must-play course on your next golf escape to Gran Canaria. The course measures 6,800 yards so golfers must bring their A-game for an unforgettable round.

Players will find that this course is not too difficult to score well on as the course is reasonably forgiving to errant shots. There is however a par 3 over water, bunkers, numerous picturesque palm trees and the ever-present sea breeze which can often hinder the player’s scorecard. Flat and easily walkable, Maspalomas is a very enjoyable and relaxing course, and it has also hosted 2 European PGA Tour events – a testament to its quality. This course is ideally situated in a key area in this captivating island, and luckily Gran Canaria is one of the places in the world with the most hours of sunshine per year therefore players are spoilt with a chance to play this fabulous course all year round.

The Maspalomas Dunes Nature Reserve, a 400 acre protected area, acts as a back drop for this course, and influenced Mackenzie Ross when designing this course. Multiple holes run directly parallel to these dunes therefore if you should hit it off target, you could find yourself trying to tackle a very large bunker. Despite its neighbouring dunes, the course is predominantly flat with broad and spacious fairways. These open fairways are easily made a target by the coastal winds from the Atlantic, therefore players must proceed with caution at some holes.

The clubhouse is very a very pleasant place to be and the staff are very friendly. There are good practice facilities and a putting green next to the restaurant, which serves a great club sandwich. From the restaurant you are able to watch players teeing off on the 1st tee. Overall, a lovely course, good for your first day golf and well suited for higher handicap golfers.
