The New (North) course at the Salobre Golf Resort & Spa is a 2008 Ron Kirby design that was extensively renovated in 2012 and then again in 2018 and 2022 by David Williams. This unique layout is laid out over the volcanic rocky terrain that is synonymous with Gran Canaria.

Overall rating

Salobre (New)

Salobre is a resort in the Canary Islands that boasts a 27-hole golf facility. The Old course was first unveiled in 1999 and the New course followed nine years later when Ron Kirby somehow managed to route a spectacular 18-hole layout around the very hilly volcanic landscape that dominates the south coast of Gran Canaria. The course is now a 9-holer.

The New course isn’t long but the use of a buggy is essential here because the fairways dogleg up and down little valleys, with serious changes in elevation occurring on a hole-by-hole basis across testing terrain – it’s no exaggeration to say this is a course like no other you will ever play!

Recently, The New and The Old Courses merged to make a 27-hole course with three loops of nine instead of two 18-hole golf courses. The changes were implemented in 2022.
