Frequently asked questions about golf near Gran Canaria
How many golf courses are on Gran Canaria?
Around 8-10 courses across the island, with the southern cluster around Maspalomas (5-6 courses) and a few in the north (Real Club de Golf Las Palmas, El Cortijo Club de Campo). The southern courses sit closer to the main tourist area and are typically what visiting golfers play.
What is the best golf course on Gran Canaria?
Anfi Tauro Golf (Maspalomas, opened 2006) is widely rated the best modern course — a championship-grade layout in a dramatic volcanic-canyon setting. Salobre Golf's New Course is the other top-tier southern option. For history, Real Club de Golf de Las Palmas (founded 1891) is the oldest in Spain and worth a round for the heritage even though it's less challenging than the southern resort courses.
Is Gran Canaria better than Tenerife for golf?
Different rather than better. Tenerife has more courses (9 vs 8), the higher-end Abama Golf, and a more diverse landscape. Gran Canaria has the unique dunes-and-volcanic Maspalomas setting, slightly fewer crowds, and the historic Las Palmas course. Most experienced Canarian golfers visit both islands on multi-week trips. For a single-week trip, Tenerife is usually the safer choice.
When is the best time for golf on Gran Canaria?
Year-round — Gran Canaria is one of Europe's most reliable golf destinations. Winter (December-March) averages 18-23°C with very low rainfall in the south. Summer (July-August) is warm but coastal trade winds keep daytime temperatures around 24-28°C — much milder than Costa del Sol's 33-38°C. Spring and autumn are ideal.
