Lopesan Meloneras Golf

At Lopesan Meloneras Golf, the front nine is a nice warm-up for whats to come.

Very contrasting nines.

Having been dissapointed on a number of resort/holiday courses especially in Tenerife/majorca etc, I didn't have high hopes for meoneras, especially as it was wall to wall 4 balls at 8 minute intervals, mainly German, however this breaks the mould a bit especially the back 9

the front 9 is more traditional with the 2 of the 3 par threes having water in front and the 8th being a really difficult par 4 with water in play on your long second shot, slightly too many large concrete storm drains but other than that the greens were excellent and the condition, considering the traffic it gets was superb.

The shot glasses were broken out, and the schnapps were poured from a hip flask in the shape of a golf ball.

Wow , views are astonishing!

Having just completed a golf cruise on Seabourn Sojourn from Barcelona to Canary Islands with 24 golfers and played golf when visiting most ports, we elected to stay 4 nights post cruise at Gran Canaria and play the top 3 ranked courses – Anfi Tauro, Real Las Palmas and Lopesan Meloneras.

Played this back in July 2019, was in fantastic condition, fairways and greens were impeccable at the time.

Played once Jan 21.

This is an impressive track which I understand has undergone a major upgrade in the last 12 months.

Meloneras is worth playing for holes 11-16 alone.
