Yes, it’s true. Every European golfer has a large number of places where to travel to practise the sport. Sure! And, of course, there is a high number of islands where to play golf. At any travel agency, they will surely accommodate you so that you may travel without parting from your bag of clubs.
But not all golf destinations are the same. Certainly not!
For… how many of those destinations are European islands? And how many of them have been, as is the case of Gran Canaria, a traditional tourist destination for several generations of Europeans? How many offer more than 120 beaches? Do they have as many hotels as in Gran Canaria? Probably not.
It is also unlikely to find many islands with 8 golf courses within a small radius. Here in Gran Canaria, you may try 8 wholly different courses. All close to each other. But all different from each other. You may play next to the dunes, in the heart of the island’s tourist district. Or you may watch how your partner hits the ball straight into the sea while you make a hole from a bunker.
You may enjoy your sport next to a volcano crater or from a spot you would expect to find in a moon desert. And in short sleeves. No need to bring a coat.
Above all, Gran Canaria offers you a great golf destination open all year long. Yes, twelve months a year. Enjoy the island’s mild weather any time of the year. A weather that seems made to measure to do away with every golf club bag cobweb. An island that seems custom-made for golf enthusiasts.
