Golf holidays in the Canary Islands

Browse our selection of the best golf courses in the Canary Islands, home to championship courses, sun-drenched fairways, and stunningly maintained greens that guests are eager to return to year after year:

Abama Golf | Tenerife

Architect: Dave Thomas | Par: 72 | Opened: 2005

Set within the luxurious Abama Resort on Tenerife’s southwest coast, this championship layout blends lush tropical landscaping with sweeping Atlantic views. Elevated tees, dramatic elevation changes, and impeccably maintained fairways make it one of Europe’s most scenic golf experiences.

Travel tip: Book a late-afternoon tee time - the golden sunset over La Gomera Island makes for a stunning finish.

Golf Costa Adeje | Tenerife

Architect: José Gancedo | Par: 72 | Opened: 1998

This former banana plantation has been transformed into one of Tenerife’s most celebrated golf venues. With wide fairways framed by stone walls and panoramic ocean views, Costa Adeje offers a mix of challenging holes and enjoyable resort golf suitable for all abilities.

Course tip: The front nine is ideal for scoring - save energy for the back nine’s uphill challenges and stunning coastal closing stretch.

Anfi Tauro Golf | Gran Canaria

Architect: Robert von Hagge, Rick Baril & Mike Smelek | Par: 72 | Opened: 2007

Carved dramatically into volcanic rock and desert terrain, Anfi Tauro is a visual masterpiece that feels more Arizona than Atlantic. The course design rewards risk-takers, with bold bunkering and elevated greens set against mountain and ocean backdrops.

Insider tip: Don’t miss the signature 6th hole - a par 3 played across a ravine to a green perched high above the valley floor.

Salobre Golf Resort (Old & New Courses) | Gran Canaria

Architects: Roland Favré (Old Course) & Ron Kirby (New Course) | Par: 71 & 72 | Opened: 1999 / 2008

Salobre offers two distinct golf experiences in Gran Canaria. The Old Course delivers a classic resort layout with palm-lined fairways and rolling greens, while the New Course provides a bold, elevated design with dramatic desert-style holes

Good to know: Both courses share the same resort facilities - perfect for multi-round stays or groups looking for variety

Lanzarote Golf Resort | Lanzarote

Architect: Ron Kirby | Par: 72 | Opened: 2008

Nestled just outside Puerto del Carmen, the Lanzarote Golf Club course showcases the island's volcanic landscape and coastal charm. Gentle undulations, generous fairways and fast greens make it a relaxing yet strategic course that suits holiday golf perfectly.

Course tip: The elevated 17th green offers one of the best panoramic views on the island - keep your camera handy.

Fuerteventura Golf Club | Fuerteventura

Architect: Juan Catarineu | Par: 72 | Opened: 2002

The first 18-hole course built on Fuerteventura, this coastal layout hosted the 2004 Spanish Open. Gentle trade winds, water hazards and palm-lined fairways make it both beautiful and enjoyable, particularly for mid-handicap players.

Insider tip: Stay at the neighbouring Elba Palace Golf Hotel for convenient access to the first tee and five-star service.

Off the course The Canaries deliver far more than golf:

• Volcanic landscapes, subtle colour palettes and nature reserves make for exceptional sightseeing and relaxation.

• Golden beaches, sea-kayaking, wind-surfing or simply a sunset walk make the perfect companion to your golf stay.

• Rich local culture and cuisine: traditional Canarian dishes, local festivals, market towns away from the resort bubble.

• For non-golfing companions: spa time, shopping, or simply relaxing by your resort pool are excellent options.
