Real Club de Golf de Las Palmas is Spain’s oldest golf club, having been established by English traders back in 1891. The ever-expanding urban sprawl of Las Palmas forced the club to move to its present location in the mid-1950s, where Philip Mackenzie Ross set out the club’s new 18-hole course. Situated alongside the Caldera de Bandama volcanic crater – which, in strict geological terms, is actually a maar and not a caldera – the course boasts fabulous views of central Gran Canaria and the northwest coastline of the island. It’s a relatively short track which is characterised by narrow fairways, deep ravines and small greens. A round here starts by skirting along and around the old crater before the fairways head into the hills to the west then return back down to the clubhouse for the closing stretch. |
