Many people choose the South of Gran Canaria as a holiday destination because of the good weather that’s almost guaranteed at any time of year. But the area offers much more. As well as enjoying the beach and the pool, we will show you what to do in Maspalomas to make this holiday unforgettable.
Maspalomas golf
Golf lovers will find a perfect place to enjoy their passion in Maspalomas. In fact, only a few kilometres from the centre of the town are two courses that will delight people who are travelling with their clubs.
The first of these is Maspalomas Golf. It’s surrounded by the Maspalomas Dunes Natural Park, which makes its location enviable and practically unique. It was designed by Mackenzie Ross over an area of 400 hectares. It is flat and long. The fairways that cross the courses have 18 holes and are long and broad. What’s more, thanks to its proximity to the sea and its soft breeze, a round on this course is a very pleasant experience.
It has practice areas, a restaurant and a shop to complete your kit.
Another course to practice your favourite sport is Lopesan Meloneras Golf. Opened in June 2006, its 18 holes were designed by Rob Kirby. It offers a number of services for players, and you can enjoy a few drinks in its restaurant after a game.
