Although Lanzarote has had a golf course for nearly 30 years, it has not been well known for the sport. With a number of new courses in the pipeline and an enviable year round climate, that situation is about to change.

The dry climate in Lanzarote does not naturally lend itself to the creation of lush green golf-courses.

This is a shame as the perfect year round weather would allow golf to be played at times when it is not possible elsewhere; at least not without some discomfort.

The advent of de-salination plants, which produce abundant water straight from the Atlantic means that it is now, possible to produce the rich growth of grass needed for a top-class course.

This important fact, coupled to the desire of the Cabildo to take tourism much more up-market in Lanzarote, has allowed for additional golf courses to be planned and constructed.

Puerto del Carmen Golf Course

The new course just outside of Puerto del Carmen on the road to Tias is 4 miles from the apartment.

This is an easy 5-10minutes drive.
