Costa Adeje is built from an old banana plantation, its original stone terrace walls restored into a José Gancedo-designed course that's hosted European Tour events and once welcomed Severiano Ballesteros for the Spanish Open. Book this one for a genuinely storied round five kilometres from Playa de las Américas, with sea views to La Gomera and a shorter Los Lagos nine for an easier afternoon. ...
Real Club de Golf Las Palmas is Spain's oldest golf club, founded in 1891 and rebuilt at the rim of the Bandama volcanic crater in 1957 by Mackenzie Ross — one of the club's own founding members, decades earlier.

Anfi Tauro is Gran Canaria's Arizona-style desert course, carved out of three million cubic metres of volcanic rock by von Hagge, Smelek and Baril, with craggy outcrops, waste areas and three lakes shaping every hole. Book this one for a genuinely different test on the island, with Spanish PGA Championship pedigree and standout holes at the 6th and 13th — just note a buggy is required and comes at extra cost. ...
Las Américas sits in the heart of Playa de las Américas, its wind-sheltered amphitheatre layout hiding real history — the remains of aboriginal Guanche dwellings sit beside the 2nd hole — and a track record hosting the Tenerife Open de España Femenino. Book this one for an easy-walking round right in the resort action, with a golf school and video swing analysis on hand if you want to work on your game beforehand. ...
Golf del Sur was made by the famous designer Pepe Gancedo. But Manuel Piñero was the person in charge turning the Golf del Sur into the only golf course on the Canary Islands with 3 courses after renewing renewing the enlargement of the Links course in 2005.. The 27 holes are perfectly divided on the three golf courses: the North course with 2949 metres and 9 holes split in 2 holes with par 3, 5 with par 4 and 2 with par 5. At the South golf course there are 2 holes with par 3, 5 with par 4 and 2 with par 5, covering an extension superior of 2957 metros. The 36 shots recently opened at the Links course are divided in 2 holes with par 3, 5 with par 4 and 2 holes par 5 with a playing area of 2853 metres. The morphology of the soil has a remarkable influence on the features of each round. The presence of the sea and the impressive ravines on the course, giving the player the opportunity to enjoy each visit made to Golf del Sur. The fairways, wide and undulating, are dotted with many natural obstacles. The presence of various water hazards is in clear contrast with the incredible volcanic sand bunkers protecting the greens. Golf del Sur facilities are at the same level of the greatest European golf resorts. The Club House, in traditional style can host events of any kind, with a wonderful catering service from its restaurant. The Pro Shop offers a wide range of first line products. By creating the academy, Golf del Sur clearly aims on the promotion of this sport on the Island. With a driving range, 2 putting and chipping greens and a practise range, it's a complete area for learning. ...
Maspalomas opened in 1968, designed by Mackenzie Ross, and is generally considered Spain's first tourist golf course — flat, wide-open, and forgiving, with the Atlantic trade winds doing most of the defending. Book this one for an easy, well-maintained round that suits beginners and high handicappers especially well, right beside the Maspalomas dunes. ...
Buenavista was designed by Severiano Ballesteros himself, its back nine running along Atlantic cliffs so closely that five greens feel aimed straight at the ocean — earning it the nickname the ''European Pebble Beach''. Book this one for one of Tenerife's most dramatic rounds, with a five-star Meliá resort on site and genuine precision demanded at the 15th and 17th. ...
Fuerteventura Golf Course was the island's first 18-hole course, designed by Juan Catarineu around the near-constant Atlantic wind — wide fairways, ocean views from the front nine, and three interconnected lakes crossing the round. Book this one for genuine championship pedigree (it hosted the 2004 Spanish Open) just eight kilometres from the airport. ...
Real Club de Golf Tenerife was founded in 1932, the second-oldest golf club in Spain, laid out at 600 metres above sea level by four of its own members among century-old trees and the Barranco de la Milagrosa ravine. Book this one for real elevation, cooler mountain air, and a course that hosted the Spanish Open back in 1964. ...
Abama was designed by Dave Thomas and opened in 2005 with Bill Clinton in the inaugural round, climbing 315 metres up the west face of Mount Teide for views across the Atlantic to La Gomera. Book this one for a genuinely decorated round — a 2024 World Golf Awards nominee with 22 lakes, 25,000 palms, and greens fast enough to test any handicap. ...
Tecina golf course on the island of Gomera is exceptional from a number of standpoints. One is that it presents the most breathtaking of views of the natural beauty of the Gomeran landscape, the Atlantic Ocean and Mount Teide on Tenerife. The aspect which makes most impression on golfers is the setting in which they play. That setting at Tecina is second to none. Another exceptional issue is that the project illustrates how it is possible to create a world class golf course from the most difficult of terrain (from a golfing point of view) in this day and age of modern technology and construction equipment. It has been very satisfying that all decisions taken regarding the quality of materials and specification have been to produce a golf course of the highest calibre. Bearing in mind the fact that the majority of golfers will be tourists wishing to enjoy a friendly game of golf, the landing areas of the holes have been designed to be wide and accommodating. ...
Las Playitas is a short course on paper — par 67, 4,824 metres — but John Chilver-Stainer's design uses eight par-3s, four lakes and ravines on all but five holes to make you use every club in the bag. Book this one for fast, multi-tiered greens that test precision over power, set among the hills and volcanic valleys of southern Fuerteventura. ...
