Salobre Golf
Maspalomas
Salobre Golf offers one of Gran Canaria’s most distinctive golf experiences, with green fairways carved into the island’s rugged volcanic landscape near Maspalomas. Surrounded by rocky ravines, native planting and views towards the Atlantic Ocean, the club provides a dramatic setting for year-round golf in the Canary Islands.
The 18-hole, par-71 Old Course opened in 1999 and was originally designed by Roland Favré. Its varied layout features elevated tees, water hazards, strategic bunkering and small greens that place a premium on accurate approach play. The course rewards golfers who choose sensible lines and remain patient, with changes in level making distance judgement particularly important. It has also hosted professional events, including the Spanish PGA Championship in 2006.
The New Course was designed by Ron Kirby and opened in 2008. From 1 October 2026, it returns to its complete 18-hole, par-70 layout following an extensive programme of improvements. Built through steeper and more rugged terrain, it provides the more adventurous of Salobre’s two challenges. Volcanic ravines, dramatic elevation changes and exposed greens demand precision, adaptability and confident course management. Multiple teeing options allow golfers to choose a suitable course length for their ability.
Together, the two courses give golfers 36 holes with contrasting personalities. The Old Course provides the more traditional and flowing round, while the New Course feels wilder, more technical and closely connected to the surrounding volcanic landscape. Due to the hilly terrain, a buggy is a sensible choice for many visiting golfers.
Practice facilities include a driving range, putting areas, professional tuition, TrackMan technology and club-fitting services. After golf, players can relax at the clubhouse or enjoy the facilities at the neighbouring Salobre Hotel Resort & Serenity.
Away from the fairways, visitors can explore the Maspalomas Dunes, enjoy waterfront restaurants and sunset walks in Meloneras, or visit the sheltered beach and marina at Puerto de Mogán.

About The Area
Maspalomas is a fantastic choice for a Gran Canaria golf holiday, combining year-round sunshine, excellent golf courses and beautiful Atlantic beaches. Located on the island's southern coast, this popular resort offers golfers a wonderful mix of championship fairways, luxury accommodation, fantastic restaurants and relaxed Canarian hospitality, making it ideal for a winter sun golf break.
For golf, our main recommendation is Maspalomas Golf, an impressive 18-hole course designed by Mackenzie Ross. Situated beside the famous Maspalomas Dunes, the course features wide fairways, palm trees and coastal breezes that provide an enjoyable challenge. We would also recommend Lopesan Meloneras Golf, offering spectacular Atlantic Ocean views, and nearby Salobre Golf, where dramatic volcanic landscapes create another memorable golfing experience.
Away from golf, Maspalomas offers plenty to explore. We would recommend visiting the spectacular Maspalomas Dunes, a protected natural reserve featuring golden sand dunes stretching towards the Atlantic Ocean. The famous Maspalomas Lighthouse and beautiful sandy beach are also perfect for relaxing after a round.
For something different, explore the stylish Meloneras promenade, enjoy waterfront dining or discover the lively bars and entertainment of nearby Playa del Inglés. Boat excursions, watersports and scenic trips into Gran Canaria's mountainous interior offer even more opportunities for adventure.
Our tip: choose Maspalomas for a Canary Islands golf holiday combining outstanding golf courses, luxury beachfront resorts, spectacular coastal scenery and reliable winter sunshine, with excellent facilities for golfers and non-golfers alike.
