Lanzarote Golf – Review and Rating

Translated by AI

Lanzarote’s newest golf course is barren and exciting.

This 18-hole course is as close to the volcanoes as you can get, surrounded by patches of black gravel. A single real water hazard and a host of bunkers with light sand break up the routing, which is perhaps not the very best, as a couple of walks back from green to tee feel backward.

The tee boxes and much of the fairways are fine and well kept, and so are the bunkers. Some greens could perhaps be in better condition, but without good access to water that is sometimes hard. Quite a few holes are hidden, which makes a first round harder. If the par 3s are long, some par 5s are short in return. A good mix of short and long holes on a course where the wind always blows, more or less.
