Golf in the Canary Islands

Stacks Image 590
Golfers of all standards of handicap, as well as beginners, come to the Canary Islands because they can play golf throughout the year in temperatures that remain fairly consistent (about 24ºC) and with very little rain. Never too hot. Never too wet. No interruptions to your game of golf. Golf courses on the Canary Islands also offer stunning views of the surrounding landscape and the Atlantic Ocean.

Whilst many tourists come to the Canary Islands for the year round sunshine, golfers visit the islands to experience some of the most amazing courses available in Europe. Also, the larger islands offer a choice of courses and mean that golf holidays do not need to be restricted to just one course.
