Lanzarote Golf
Lanzarote Golf is the modern resort course above Puerto del Carmen, a Ron Kirby design from 2008 set on the volcanic slopes with wide views over the Atlantic. Open, sunny and a short hop from the island's main beaches, it is the headline round for a Lanzarote golf and beach trip.

The verdict
Lanzarote Golf opened in 2008 to a Ron Kirby design, set on the rising ground between Puerto del Carmen and Tias with the ocean spread out below. It is a generous, modern layout that uses the volcanic island landscape and the constant sea views to good effect, the kind of warm winter golf you can play in shirtsleeves while northern Europe freezes.
The wind and the elevation give it more bite than the scorecard suggests, but the fairways are forgiving and the round is built for enjoyment in the sun. Just minutes from the hotels and beaches of Puerto del Carmen, it is the natural base for a Lanzarote trip, paired with the older course up the coast at Costa Teguise.

Designer, year and par verified June 2026 from the club and leading golf databases. Lanzarote Golf, by Ron Kirby, opened in 2008 between Puerto del Carmen and Tias on the volcanic slopes of Lanzarote, a par 72 of roughly 6,133 meters.

The holes worth the trip
Lanzarote Golf plays across rolling volcanic ground above the coast, with most holes giving a view down to the sea and out across the island. The fairways are wide and the layout is welcoming, but the elevation changes and the steady ocean breeze keep it interesting, asking for sensible club choices rather than brute strength.
The greens are true and the conditioning is resort standard year round, helped by the reliable Lanzarote climate. The volcanic backdrop, with its dark cinder cones and lava fields, gives the course a distinctly Canarian character that sets it apart from the typical Mediterranean resort layout.
It is easy, enjoyable golf in guaranteed sun, a round you can play repeatedly on a longer stay. As the main course on the island, it anchors a Lanzarote trip neatly with the older, more established layout at Costa Teguise a short drive north.

Where to stay nearby
Most golfers stay in Puerto del Carmen, the island's main resort, where hotels and apartments of every standard sit minutes from the course and right on the beach and seafront promenade. It is an easy, walkable base with plenty of dining and a short transfer from the airport.
For a fuller Lanzarote trip, pair this with a round at the older island course, Costa Teguise Golf, a short drive north, and consider a day trip to the golf on neighbouring Gran Canaria such as Meloneras Golf.
