Meloneras Golf by Lopesan
Meloneras
Set on the south coast of Gran Canaria, Meloneras Golf by Lopesan is one of the island’s most scenic golf courses, combining mountain views, palm-lined fairways and dramatic Atlantic Ocean scenery. Located close to the stylish Meloneras resort area, Maspalomas and the famous lighthouse, it is a strong choice for golfers who want warm-weather golf with beaches, restaurants and high-quality hotels nearby.
The course is an 18-hole, par-71 championship layout designed by Ron Kirby and opened in 2006. The official course information describes a round of two distinct halves: the front nine is framed by Canarian mountain views and hundreds of palm trees, while the back nine moves towards the coast, with ocean views and several holes close to the rocky shoreline.
Meloneras Golf is designed to be enjoyable for a wide range of players. Each hole has four tee options, helping make the course playable for mixed-ability groups, while water, bunkering, coastal breeze and approach-shot angles still provide plenty of challenge. Buggies, trolleys, club rental, GPS, a driving range, putting green, pro shop, restaurant and snack bar are all listed among the course facilities, which makes it easy to include as part of a relaxed golf holiday.
For UK golfers, Meloneras Golf by Lopesan works particularly well as part of a Gran Canaria winter-sun itinerary. It pairs naturally with Maspalomas Golf, Anfi Golf by Lopesan and Salobre, while the surrounding resort area adds beach time, coastal walks, shopping, marina towns and easy evenings out.

About The Area
Maspalomas is a fantastic choice for a Gran Canaria golf holiday, combining year-round sunshine, excellent golf courses and beautiful Atlantic beaches. Located on the island's southern coast, this popular resort offers golfers a wonderful mix of championship fairways, luxury accommodation, fantastic restaurants and relaxed Canarian hospitality, making it ideal for a winter sun golf break.
For golf, our main recommendation is Maspalomas Golf, an impressive 18-hole course designed by Mackenzie Ross. Situated beside the famous Maspalomas Dunes, the course features wide fairways, palm trees and coastal breezes that provide an enjoyable challenge. We would also recommend Lopesan Meloneras Golf, offering spectacular Atlantic Ocean views, and nearby Salobre Golf, where dramatic volcanic landscapes create another memorable golfing experience.
Away from golf, Maspalomas offers plenty to explore. We would recommend visiting the spectacular Maspalomas Dunes, a protected natural reserve featuring golden sand dunes stretching towards the Atlantic Ocean. The famous Maspalomas Lighthouse and beautiful sandy beach are also perfect for relaxing after a round.
For something different, explore the stylish Meloneras promenade, enjoy waterfront dining or discover the lively bars and entertainment of nearby Playa del Inglés. Boat excursions, watersports and scenic trips into Gran Canaria's mountainous interior offer even more opportunities for adventure.
Our tip: choose Maspalomas for a Canary Islands golf holiday combining outstanding golf courses, luxury beachfront resorts, spectacular coastal scenery and reliable winter sunshine, with excellent facilities for golfers and non-golfers alike.
