Set in the Tauro Valley on Gran Canaria’s south-west coast, Anfi Golf by Lopesan is one of the island’s most dramatic golf venues. The course sits between volcanic mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, creating a striking contrast of green fairways, desert-style rock, lakes, waterfalls and palm trees. It is a strong choice for golfers staying around Puerto Rico, Mogán, Maspalomas or Meloneras who want a scenic round with a real Canary Islands feel.

The main course is an 18-hole, par-72 championship layout designed by Von Hagge, Smelek and Baril. Opened in 2006, it covers more than 650,000 square metres and has an Arizona-style design, with elevation changes, volcanic scenery, water features and wide views towards the sea. The layout is visually impressive but still playable for a range of golfers, with variety from hole to hole and plenty of risk-and-reward moments.

Anfi Golf by Lopesan also has a 9-hole par-3 course, which is ideal for beginners, warm-up rounds, short-game practice or a lighter extra game during a golf holiday. The practice facilities include a driving range, putting area, chipping green and practice bunker, while buggies include GPS for accurate yardages around the course.

For UK golfers, Anfi Golf by Lopesan works particularly well as part of a Gran Canaria winter-sun itinerary. It pairs naturally with Meloneras Golf, Maspalomas Golf and Salobre, while the south of the island offers beaches, marina towns, restaurants, boat trips and relaxed resort evenings.
