Golf in Lanzarote & FuerteventuraLanzarote
Fuerteventura
Green Fees (Euros) - Winter 07/08
In between golf, the nearby Antigua Commercial Centre is a meeting place for shopping and leisure pursuits for the holidaymaker and residents alike with its multi screen cinema complex and restaurants. The main beach of Caleta de Fuste is two kilometres away and Corralejo, the island’s main tourist capital, is within a half hour’s drive. The superb beaches of Costa Calma, Playas de Sotavento de Jandia, in the south of the island are just over an hours drive. Golf Salinas de AntiguaJust down the road from Caleta de Fuste is the 18 hole Salinas de Antigua par 70 course with a maximum distance of 5.409 metres for men and 4.652 metres for ladies, designed by twice world champion Manolo Piñeiro. The most advanced technology in construction has been used to design the systems for irrigation and drainage in order to optimise water consumption. The Salinas de Antigua Golf Clubs' landscape is formed by hills and dunes which protect it from the wind, there are also deserts areas and four lakes with a surface area 21.450m2.

Golf Las PlayitasAn alternative to Calate de Fuste is Golf Las Playitas some 4km from Gran Tarajal on the south western coast. White houses nestling on the hillside above the sea, a maze of alleyways and a small beach promenade − all serve as an invitation to further explore the area. During the afternoon you can watch the fisherman on the harbour wall. The newly opened golf academy at Las Playitas is the first big step in becoming a seriously recognised top golf resort. A large two sided driving range and first class short game and putting facilities combine with a beautifully conditioned 6 hole academy course which makes Las Playitas a great destination to learn and enjoy golf. The team, headed by fully qualified British PGA professional Murdo McCorquodale are on hand to provide lessons and coach golfers of all levels in English, Spanish or German. The 18 hole course is currently under construction and is set amongst the rolling hillside leading down to the bay at Las Playitas. Created by a Scottish design company Playitas golf looks to be a real asset to the Island and combined with the Academy course and state of art golf school where better to spend those winter months. The undulating and very scenic par 70 course will be a tough challenge especially on breezy days, however with the protection of the surrounding hills, Playitas golfers should not suffer from any extreme weather conditions. Jandia Golf
Jandia Golf course is situated in the south of Fuerteventura and was the
third golf course opened on the Island in early 2007.
The golf course in Jandia covers a surface area of some 335,086 square meters and is a par 72 nestled in a natural bowl in the mountains and designed by Ron Kirby. Jandia Golf is considered to be a medium to difficult course with its two small lakes, natural areas, Canary Island palms and some of the most spectacular scenery. This will be a testing golf course for both the experienced and the inexperienced golfer as it is quite tight in places which will add to the enjoyment of the round. It is close to the famous beaches of Jandia, Playa de Cofete and Playa Sotovento which offer vast stretches of white sand and turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean and only five kilometres from the fishing village of Morro Jable. Fuerteventura Airport is only 85 kilometres from Jandia Golf and with the new road section completed the journey time has been reduced substantially. Puerto del Roasario the Capital of Fuerteventura is approx 100 kilometres from the golf course and Costa Calma just 15 kilometres. Green Fees (Euros) - Winter 07/08

Currently
the island's only 18 hole golf course is within a 7 minute drive of the
centre of Costa Teguise. The course comes as quite a surprise in the volcanic
surroundings of Lanzarote. Green fairways fringed by palm trees lead to
well manicured greens. Reminiscent of earlier style courses where comfort
and plenty of elbow room went hand in hand with good golf, this par 72
course is well compensated with strategic bunker placings around the greens.
A most unusual feature is the black volcanic sand in the bunkers –
so much easier to spot the ball!. Looking down the 18th fairway from the Clubhouse
terrace, the panoramic views across the island towards the Atlantic are
pleasant additions to the general charms and challenge of Lanzarote golf.

Fuerteventura
Golf Club at Caleta de Fuste is one of two courses currently in operation
on the island. This course, an eighteen hole par 70 with a total length of 6078
metres, covers the largest green area on Fuerteventura. Venue of the
Spanish Open in 2004, it is the first golf course to be opened on the
island. Offering superb views over the Atlantic and with the combination
of lakes and small streams that come into play on various holes, Fuerteventura
has become a much sought after golf destination for amateurs and professionals
alike. The bar and restaurant complete all the usual facilities associated
with a high quality course. In addition there is a swimming pool, gymnasium,
sauna and of course a good selection of quality villas with private pools
and various apartments surrounding the fairways.
