The dissapointment of the year!!!
Reviewed December 31, 2012
My advices :
- do not forget to be there 2 hours before your tee time. You will spend first hour for warming up, and the second hour to stay in crowd for playing. Tee TIMES? A bad joke...
- do not hesitate to rent a buggy : without it, you will not have ANY informations about the hole... no birdie card, no hole description to the beginning, like in the rest of the world (even in ROMANIA !)
- do not expect for cleaning your shoes, or clubs there.
- do not expect for a pitching green. Everybody are using a chipping green for everything. Even for putting. In the same time, I mean...
- do not forget to take an extra pencil. If you will lost it... they won't supply another one.
- do not even think to estimate when you will finish the game, because you won' t be able to know not even you will start it! Take a day off...
- do not take your photo camera with you. Is useless : the course is a urban one, therefore you will see only a few houses and a lot of stones... No views at all.
Of course : you can choose another course, in the neighbourhood. It will be more wise!!!

Boring Place
Reviewed July 24, 2024
Boring flat course, there is a chance of losing a ball on 2 holes because there is a water hazard. Greens were very slow (July 2024) but in great condition. Conclusion: you can play, but if you want to have some fun, then play Meloneras!

We play the course exactly once a year, namely to play a leisurely round without losing the ball.
Bunkers as rock hard as ever and barely playable, fairways and greens in good condition. But what annoyed me most were all the buggy golfers who were constantly 'rebellious'. We cannot understand why people who are not physically impaired do not run this course. We are not in the USA after all😇

Pretty good
Reviewed March 18, 2024
Certainly not the best or most beautiful place in Gran Canaria, but definitely suitable for one round per holiday.
The prescriber was certainly on a different course, as there was no sign of renovation anywhere, the course presented itself like any other year.
Fairways not so nice this time, bunkers with little sand and very hard, greens again in very good condition!

Not bad either
Reviewed February 25, 2023
Have played the course in February 2023.
If you have played Anfi Tauro and Meloneras before, the course has a hard time.
But all the employees are super friendly and a really funny caddy master.
The club terrace is super nice and the place is really okay in terms of maintenance.
It's just a parkland course with palm trees and unspectacular compared to Anfi Tauro and Meloneras.
Very flat and easily manageable on foot even if you are not a top athlete.
The place is fully booked, but can be played smoothly without long waiting times. If you have to wait, you can strengthen yourself at the mobile golf bar.
Tees, fairways and greens well maintained. The greens are even faster than on the other two places!
All in all, it was also fun on this course and would also like to play the course again.

Smooth gameplay not possible
Reviewed February 9, 2023
I played the course for the first time on 01/20/2023. I had already thought that Maspalomas, the tourist stronghold, could be quite crowded, but I was surprised that there were hardly any starting times available a few days beforehand.
Unfortunately, I have found that Spanish golfers are not very particular about etiquette towards tourists. Tee times are not respected, resulting in traffic jams at tee 1 and golfers are already teeing off, even though I was still on the fairway and the balls almost hit me. There was no apology.
Tracks mostly straight, not very varied and relatively easy to play. However, wind forces of 7 to 8 made playing more difficult, especially at hole 16. First ball too short, in the water, took another club, 10m over the green. Players before me fared no differently. The divers will find a lot of lakeballs.
Fairways in good condition and greens quite fast. All employees in the pro shop, at registration and in the restaurant are very friendly. Most also spoke German.
Unfortunately, there was no birdie book.
I would have rated the place only 3 stars, but because of the very nice staff, without exception, I give 4 stars.

Slow senior golf

I wonder why you rent carts at this top level place. The only reason may be that you can sit while waiting all the time. We played shortly after sunrise in the morning and still waited constantly and needed more than 4.5 hours. A no-go. I never saw a necessary ranger in two rounds and missed it badly. Too bad.

Friendly and great greens
Reviewed November 9, 2022
Not much has changed compared to the previous year, the greens are still the flagship of the course.
No changes to the layout, but maintaining the course is still okay, but we experienced a particularly friendly marshal who lined up the flights on the 1st tee and was also present on the course.
It's necessary to defend your tee time, since the place was very full again, and there are always those in front. We were able to tee off about 15 minutes late.
Competent secretariat, good pro shop, gastronomy or its food - well!

Parkland (palm trees) course

Beautiful flat parkland course which can be challenging played by the white tees and wind. Yellow is enough for a relaxed holiday round :-)
The greens are very fast and the approach shots should be well planned or the ball will roll off the green again.

Essentially a place that can be enjoyed relaxed, without haste and with patience (because it is heavily booked). Ideal to get started if you want to do even bigger things like z. B. Anfi Tauro plans.

--disappointing...
Reviewed March 31, 2021
We put our tees here for the first time in 1991, when golfers had only been using the greens for 3 years. It was our second golf course that we played in Spain. Back then there were only two courses, this one and Real Club de Golf Palmas and we played them alternately. Both were designed by Philip Mackanzie Ross, who learned his trade from none other than Tom Simpson and was able to work during the golden age of golf course building.
In the past we have traveled once every 6 to 8 years, it could be our last visit.
The visit here is primarily due to the Covid pandemic, because all trips planned for the winter have become obsolete. We removed Spain from the list years ago. There are several reasons for this, in particular the maintenance quality of the courses - too much does not fit together. A great deal of effort has been made for a few years to present a well-tended course and - again - to win over golfers. When the courses are well attended again, you forget the effort and the focus is on maximizing sales - this is not the first time we have registered this.
At that time it was a - visually - very nice course, with lots of plants and cacti. As early as 2011 we registered that almost all of these plants and cacti had been cleared. Today it is empty and desolate - a shame, the development towards the simplest possible holiday course!
Care and maintenance... well... as mentioned above...
You could still live with the layout if all the measures described had not been carried out, it is certainly not the best of the designer. This course has been optically distorted in order to chase as many players as possible over the course...
Everything is done to keep the cadence as high as possible! We even experienced arguments on tee 10 because they sent flights on tee 1 and 10, or they took a break after 9 holes...
It is a course that is very easy to play on foot - totally flat.
We cannot understand the placement in the Top 100 Spains. For us this is no longer justified.
We all have three stars. We can only support the evaluation of K. Per.

Reviewed January 24, 2021
Yes, not a demanding course with few challenges. Nevertheless, depending on the wind, the score can be several strokes apart from round to round. I have been to Gran Canaria for several years at different times and always play all courses in the south of the island. Always here because: the staff is totally friendly, you can run and play in a relaxed manner, good gastronomy. Sometimes after the first 9 half an hour break with a delicious drink and then it goes on. My tip: have a relaxing day and put the sporty in the background, there are the other places. Unfortunately, it is objectionable that at peak times even players with handicap 54 or without PR had the pleasure of being on the pitch twice.

Flat and extremely boring
Reviewed November 23, 2020
Relaxed but absolutely unspectacular golf course. Practically all lanes go straight ahead, with 2-3 exceptions all lanes look identical.
The square designer should be ashamed - although there was probably no designer.
Despite the good maintenance condition and the fast and faithful greens, you really don't need to play this course.
Well-stocked pro shop for fashion 60+. Only one bocadillo tested by the restaurant for the round, which was just as 08/15 as the course.

Holiday resort for relaxing round
Reviewed October 11, 2016
Played in October 2016. The place is rather unspectacular, wide almost always straight paths. The so-called "scenic hole" in vain, perhaps the 16 (par 3 over the water). In this time of year there probably only "All-Inclusive" guests who do not leave their hotel complex, the place was deserted. Had a relaxing round 2:45, right as Ferienentschleunigung. Greens rather slow, which is understandable in the drought on this side of the island. Fairways in good condition. All in all, a cozy round with all the friendly staff. Since you have the first 9 always look to the dunes, I do not understand the previous comment. Conclusion: Place ok, not a "must play"

Really, for the most golf-free winter months, ideally suitable holiday place. Plenty of space, clean - but not extremely fast greens and super friendly staff. Not as spectacular as the neighboring space Meloneras, but overall highly recommended. Unfortunately, it is here again to congestion by threader from the 10. That cost him the 5th star. Anyway, we like to come again.

The place was OK!
Reviewed March 21, 2016
Have this morning 18 holes played there.
The course condition was relatively good, but I must add my voice to previous speakers that some tee boxes were in very bad condition.
Otherwise, this was not a special place and the Maspalomas dunes could be seen only on two tracks slightly. Most tracks were straight and it is due to the width to squander hardly possible balls!
Nevertheless, a good place to play along Gran Canaria to benefit from the relatively fast greens and the Bermudagraß!

Maspalomas Golf is a beautiful meadow for a relaxing Urlaubsgolftag. Always full with four flights. Relaxed to go because there are no hills. Course maintenance so-so, but in the dry substrate is not so easy. Of course it is full, of course it is expensive, but here there is pure holiday feeling. In beautiful clubhouse is a good atmosphere on the terrace and one can wonderfully observe the comings and goings. Despite the disadvantages of a recommendation for a holiday round. Golfers with high athletic demands are rather not feel.

Relaxed golf and good food
Reviewed December 14, 2015
These are ever 2 things that like most golfers. The course is flat, so you can go it on foot and it is maintained. Some tracks are not quite so simple, as often described. Doglegs and water also come into play. When admitting always created some chaos - but even that is not as catastrophic as described, but has a certain charm. One can even start to talk a little earlier, if the flights are put together according to handicap or nationality. Us makes playing here always fun, especially since the restaurant is good, has nice staff and you can sit on the terrace overlooking the golf course well.

Light Place, good for all skill levels
Reviewed November 10, 2015
A parkland course as he is in the book, with fairly wide and wide fairways, lined by palm trees. The place was probably modified in recent years something largely replaced the previously existing pines by palm trees and the haircuts more adapted to the standard of the usual vacation Player here (= made easier).
We had fun on the round, played with 2 German Club members (membership costs € 5 thousand per season, however, are the 94, - € we found almost low due to the hotel reduction, of course, a bargain - but the regular price is in High season at 110 - 120, - €). The most existing wind leaves a the lengths often calculated wrong, but overall you can play good golf there and come back home with a ball.
Here is - as in most places here - a reasonable game speed is not really respected, especially as you start parallel from the 1 and 10, there are 9 holes after Jam with the then starting flights.
Nevertheless, I recommend the place especially for higher HCPs simply because he is not so much punished for short strokes and failures as other places in Gran Canaria.
And - it can be just fine play on foot, an E-Cart you do not need here really.

At 12.8 played. I and 5 others were on their way.
So little operation.
The course is situated behind the dunes of Maspalomas, which can also be seen on some holes. 2-3 holes play is long right on the dunes.
The place is to play with any handicap, you have to be very badly hit before your ball is gone, well clear apart from the 2 holes with water :-)
Here can be a very relaxed game of, but little consideration. Believe everyone can play their handicap here accordingly.
Would I play again at any time.
Have also played Meloneras and Anfi Tauro see reviews.
Meloneras is a tick in income as Maspalomas and Anfi Tauro is better simply a feast for the eyes.
