Best golfing holidays in the Canaries

by Catherine McCulloch

The Canary Islands have lots to offer from beaches, volcanic marvels and great golf courses to gorgeous weather all year round. The two largest of islands, Tenerife and Fuerteventura, are both positioned near the West African coast, making the temperatures extra warm for Spain's islands. Just a short flight from the UK getting there is hassle free and the island offers something for everyone to enjoy. So whether it's the lush landscape, beautiful beaches or wealth of water and land activities, you'll be able to keep everyone easily entertained.

One particularly familiar site at airports throughout the Canaries is travellers collecting golf clubs from the luggage belts, for the islands are largely popular for golfing trips in the sunshine. Fuerteventura is home for four golf courses, with more being planned, or in construction. Courses include the 18 hole, par 70, Caleta De Fuste course, which is characterized by its three large lakes that threaten to disrupt play. Another popular course to be enjoyed on Fuerteventura holidays is Las Playitas, Tuineje, situated in the south of the island, and also home to a PGA Golf Academy, perfect for those looking to learn the art of golf from the start.

The Las Playitas course is tucked into a coastal bay, with pleasant temperatures cooled by a gentle sea breeze creating perfect golf conditions throughout the year. So too, the course boasts impressive - and arguable distracting - views over the Atlantic that make up for a poor round at any time. The course is particularly well tended, making for a spectacular eighteen holes. Fuerteventura's bigger sister Tenerife is home to an impressive nine golf courses, each a different challenge, depending on your handicap.

Tenerife golf courses have a strong golfing history that guests can be a part of. Golf del Sur, for example, has played host to a range of international golf tournaments and is characterized by the black volcanic sand in its bunkers and the giant cacti throughout- a reminder of the spectacular location of the course.

Travel to Tenerife and Fuerteventura is popular throughout the year, given the good all-round climate of the islands. However, the best deals for late holidays are to be found at low season times, outside of school holidays - perfect for golf-loving couples looking to get away for a week in the sun. Particularly good times to travel include March - before the Easter holidays - and September - after the rush of the summer, as resorts wind down but the greens are still in good condition.
