Golf courses in Canary Islands

The Canary Islands are the winter golf destination of choice for many European golfers. While courses at home are closed or the ground is frozen, you play here in a pleasant climate with the ocean as your backdrop. The golf offering is impressive for an island group of this size: Tenerife has the most courses, followed by Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura. Leading Courses favourites include Abama Golf on Tenerife — a spectacular course high above the coast, designed by Dave Thomas, with views over the Atlantic Ocean that can genuinely distract you mid-swing. On Gran Canaria, Anfi Tauro Golf is the absolute crowd-pleaser, with dramatic elevated tees and a finishing nine that keeps golfers coming back year after year. Those looking to avoid the well-known islands have an excellent alternative in La Gomera. The island is quieter, the nature is overwhelming and Tecina Golf, the only course on the island, offers views of Teide on Tenerife. A genuinely special experience. Practically speaking, the Canaries are playable year-round. Summer is warm but rarely unbearably hot thanks to the trade winds. The winter months are by far the busiest — greenfees are correspondingly higher than in summer. Booking early is advisable, particularly at the popular courses on Tenerife and Gran Canaria. Tee times are easy to book online via Leading Courses.
