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.

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises. Explore the grounds, connect with others, embrace new challenges, and dive into an unforgettable celebration. Click here to buy tickets.
