My husband in the golfer in this family, and I’d love to treat him to a day out on the golf course in Lanzarote… While I lie on the beach of course! Here’s some helpful information if you’re lucky enough to have this idyllic Canary Island on your travel itinerary.

To golf or not to golf? That is not a question you’d have to think too much about if you were holidaying on the sun soaked island of Lanzarote. For the keen golfer, a Canary Island holiday might not spring to mind when you are imagining refining your swing, or improving your techniques- however with its all year round mild climate conditions, you are more likely to have a few relaxing sun-kissed days pitching and putting than in the UK, even during golfing season.

Indeed, with all the other attractions and holiday resorts on the Island, it’s the ideal place to suggest to your other half when you want a quick getaway, but also wish to get away to the course for a few hours, knowing they wont protest with plenty to do and see. It’s a win win situation!

With its lack of rainfall, Lanzarote will see you discarding your waterproofs for a more dapper golfing attire. With at least two well established courses in different resorts, there is a varied choice of hotels from the luxury resorts to modest villas. Choose from the relatively new ‘Lanzarote Golf’ in Puerto del Carmen, with its breathtaking views, or premier course ‘Golf Costa Teguise’. Indeed, Lanzarote Golf boasts a modern par-72 course with sights to become a more challenging 18 in the future, when trees and plants grow to accommodate its design.

Golfing near the sea alone will bring new challenges, with its brisk winds, and views of volcanoes and rocky environments, but with the charm of knowing that you can relax afterwards on the beach or near the pool of your chosen accommodation.
