Set on the south coast of Gran Canaria, Meloneras Golf by Lopesan is one of the island’s most scenic golf courses, combining mountain views, palm-lined fairways and dramatic Atlantic Ocean scenery. Located close to the stylish Meloneras resort area, Maspalomas and the famous lighthouse, it is a strong choice for golfers who want warm-weather golf with beaches, restaurants and high-quality hotels nearby.

The course is an 18-hole, par-71 championship layout designed by Ron Kirby and opened in 2006. The official course information describes a round of two distinct halves: the front nine is framed by Canarian mountain views and hundreds of palm trees, while the back nine moves towards the coast, with ocean views and several holes close to the rocky shoreline.

Meloneras Golf is designed to be enjoyable for a wide range of players. Each hole has four tee options, helping make the course playable for mixed-ability groups, while water, bunkering, coastal breeze and approach-shot angles still provide plenty of challenge. Buggies, trolleys, club rental, GPS, a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant and snack bar are all listed among the course facilities, which makes it easy to include as part of a relaxed golf holiday.

For UK golfers, Meloneras Golf by Lopesan works particularly well as part of a Gran Canaria winter-sun itinerary. It pairs naturally with Maspalomas Golf, Anfi Golf by Lopesan and Salobre, while the surrounding resort area adds beach time, coastal walks, shopping, marina towns and easy evenings out.
