IN THE WORLDTHE BEST CLIMATE

Golf courses in the Canary Islands stand out because they are shaped by the volcanic landscape; Each course has an original layout and many have the ocean as their backdrop. Most, up there with the best courses in Europe, were designed by world champions such as José María Olazábal and the much-missed Severiano Ballesteros, and famous course architects such as Juan Cartineu, Blake Stirling and Marco Martín: All specialists at making the natural landscape part of the course.

The islands’ golfing tradition goes back a long time and Spain’s first two clubes opened in the Canaries; The first in Gran Canaria and the second in Tenerife. Golf is a popular island sport and Canarians appreciate and enjoy their golf with constant professional and amateur competitions. Of course, the 19th Hole also beckons and any golfer will feel welcome.
