Salobre Hotel Resort (Old)

Another cracking resort course, not dissimilar to those in Arizona where target golf is a must, you have loads of rocks that frame the majority of holes meaning sometimes a wayward shot is rewarded with a bounce into the fairway, water is really in play on about 4 holes, the front 9 is much shorter and easier because of this, with some lovely par 3,s notably the 4th and 8th, back 9 is much tougher and longer with a few blind or slightly blind tee shots especially 12 and 13.

Very fun course.

I stayed at the Salobre hotel at the end of April/ beginning of May 2022.

The golfing complex at Salobre was owned by a large hotel chain and is in 2 vast inland valleys with golf in the middle (see photo of the Old), and significant development including a large hotel with many apartments down one side.

Salobre's Old Course is certainly the tamer of the two at the resort - but still demands good control of the golf ball to keep your score low.

My wife and I fancied some winter sun and having been to Tenerife last year decided to visit Gran Canaria for a week.

An interesting course with some beautiful tee shots through or nearby palm trees.

I agree with Jim.

Currently listed 14 out of 14 in the Canary Islands regional chart on this site, the Old course at Salobre – formerly known as the South course – deserves a far better ranking position!

Some nice holiday golf to be found at Salobre.
