Golf courses in Lanzarote

Lanzarote brings a strikingly different kind of golf to Spain, set against the volcanic landscapes of the Canary Islands off the coast of Africa. Here a small, select scene of two courses sits among black lava fields, palm-fringed greens and views over the Atlantic, giving every round a dramatic, otherworldly backdrop quite unlike mainland Spanish resorts. The island's near-constant sunshine and mild, steady temperatures make this a genuine year-round destination, especially appealing to northern Europeans escaping winter in search of warm, reliable golf.

The two main options each have their own character. Golf Costa Teguise, one of the island's long-established courses, weaves between palms and villas in a sheltered, resort setting, while Lanzarote Golf Resort offers a more open, contemporary layout with sweeping ocean and volcano vistas. With only a couple of courses, Lanzarote is less a marathon golf tour than a relaxed sun-and-play break, easily combined with the island's beaches, wine country and striking natural parks. For a traveller who wants guaranteed warmth, memorable scenery and an unhurried pace, Lanzarote is one of the most distinctive golf escapes in the Spanish islands.
