Maspalomas
Maspalomas Golf: Located in one of Gran Canaria's most touristic areas, Maspalomas is the second oldest golf course on the island. The arrival in the area of several newer and some would say tougher layouts, has not dented Maspalomas' popularity or reputation as a pleasant and enjoyable parkland venue, which is imbued with its own particular charms and challenges.
Although much of the course is essentially flat, many holes border the dramatically undulating sand hills of the Maspalomas Dunes Nature Reserve. Although the dunes block out any sea views, your journey around the course is accompanied by the ever-present scenic backdrop of the island's rugged peaks and canyons to the north.
The generally good-width, flattish fairways are separated by a variety of palms, delicate pines and several other tree varieties. Beyond them lies a generous margin of sandy waste, from which errant tee shots can usually be found and played. Water only threatens on two occasions; at the very good, slightly dog-legging par-4 15th and again at the short par-3 16th.
The quiet tranquillity of this relatively easy-going layout is not disturbed by the holiday villas and apartments that skirt one or two holes, although occasional squadrons of bright green parrots may provide a squawky commentary to some of your shots.
What ensures that Maspalomas is no parkland push-over, are the firm, fast and very testing greens. Ross's skilful layout and the presence of varying strengths and directions of sea breeze will also make you work for those pars and birdies.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Handicap required.
Soft spikes only. Players generally walk this course. Golf carts (fitted with GPS) available for hire.

Maspalomas has previously hosted many top level competitions including European Tour events (see our Tournaments section > by Venue > Maspalomas).
The golf course is laid out alongside the Maspalomas Dunes Nature Reserve (Parque Natural de las Dunas de Maspalomas), a protected area of more than 400 hectares of large, undulating sand dunes.

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
