Green Fees in Gran Canaria: What Golf Costs in 2026
Gran Canaria runs the opposite season to the rest of Europe: golf is cheapest in summer, when the headline courses list around 74 to 90 euro, and dearest in the winter sun months, when the same rounds reach 115 to 145. Meloneras and the Maspalomas dunes anchor the south, Anfi Tauro climbs a desert canyon, and the 1891 Bandama crater club is the oldest in Spain. Here is the whole fee picture, season by season.

The short answer
In summer, from May to the end of September 2026, budget around 74 to 90 euro for a championship round on Gran Canaria's south coast: Meloneras lists 90 euro general, the Real Club de Golf de Las Palmas at Bandama and Salobre's Old Course around 74 to 75, with Maspalomas and Anfi Tauro in the same band through the resort operators. Come winter, from October to April, those numbers rise to roughly 115 to 145 euro as the island fills with sun seeking golfers from the north. The smart play is the green fee card that combines Meloneras, Maspalomas and Anfi Tauro across four, five or six rounds, which drops the per round cost in both seasons. A week here in summer rarely clears 450 euro in green fees; the same week in January costs close to double.

What you are paying for, course by course
Meloneras and Maspalomas, the south coast pair
Meloneras is the easy walk: a Ron Kirby links from 2006 laid flat along the coast between the Maspalomas dunes and Pasito Blanco harbour, with the sea in view from most of the back nine and a 15:00 twilight rate near half the headline fee. Next door, Maspalomas Golf is the island's grand old layout, a Mackenzie Ross design from 1968 routed through the edge of the protected dunes, where the wind off the Atlantic is the real defence. Both are Lopesan group courses, both sit walking distance from the Maspalomas and Meloneras hotels, and both join the combined green fee card.
Anfi Tauro, the desert canyon
The scenery play: a von Hagge, Smelek and Baril design from 2006 carved into the rust coloured Barranco de Tauro inland from Mogan, with elevation changes, water and a target golf demand that the coastal courses do not make. It rewards a buggy and a steady nerve, and it shares the combined card with Meloneras and Maspalomas, so a three course rotation under one ticket is the natural Gran Canaria week.
Salobre and Bandama, the value and the history
Salobre, up in the hills above Maspalomas, runs two full eighteens, the Roland Favre Old Course from 1999 and the Ron Kirby New Course from 2008, with 27 hole loop options and rates a notch below the headline pair. For the history, drive north to the Real Club de Golf de Las Palmas at Bandama, the oldest club in Spain, founded in 1891 and routed around the rim of an extinct volcanic crater. It keeps weekends for members, so visitors play a weekday morning window, and the views into the caldera are unlike anywhere else in Canarian golf.
How to time it, and how to save
The counterintuitive truth is that Gran Canaria golf is a summer bargain. The island holds a steady spring climate all year, so May to September mornings are entirely playable and roughly a third cheaper than the November to March high season, when escaping European golfers fill the tee sheets and the rates jump. In either season the combined green fee card across Meloneras, Maspalomas and Anfi Tauro is the structural save, twilight slots cut the single round price near in half, and resort guests at the Lopesan and Salobre properties price below the walk up rate. Fly into Gran Canaria airport, fifteen to forty minutes from the southern courses, and base in Meloneras or Maspalomas for the short transfers. The wider planning picture lives in our Gran Canaria destination guide, alongside the neighbouring Lanzarote and Tenerife hubs and the Tenerife green fee guide.

Gran Canaria green fee questions
How much does golf cost in Gran Canaria in 2026?
It depends entirely on the season. Through summer, from May to September 2026, the headline courses list around 74 to 90 euro for 18 holes: Meloneras at 90 euro general, the Real Club de Golf Las Palmas at Bandama and Salobre around 74 to 75. Winter, from October to April, is the high season, when the same rounds climb to roughly 115 to 145 euro. Every figure is third party pricing that moves with date and demand, so always confirm directly before booking.
Which is the cheapest time to play golf in Gran Canaria?
Summer, counterintuitively. The Canaries hold a steady spring climate all year, so May to September golf is entirely comfortable in the mornings and roughly a third cheaper than the November to March high season, when northern Europe arrives to escape winter. Twilight tee times and multi round green fee cards, which combine Meloneras, Maspalomas and Anfi Tauro, cut the cost further in either season.
What is the oldest and most historic course in Gran Canaria?
The Real Club de Golf de Las Palmas at Bandama, founded in 1891, is the oldest golf club in Spain. It plays around the rim of the Caldera de Bandama, an extinct volcanic crater, and reserves weekends for members, so visitors play Monday to Friday with a morning tee window. Indicative visitor fees ran about 74 euro in summer 2026 and 115 to 119 in winter.
Do you need a buggy to play golf in Gran Canaria?
On the resort courses it helps but is rarely required. Buggies run about 25 euro per person at Meloneras, Maspalomas, Anfi Tauro and Salobre, with trolleys from 7 to 12 euro and rental clubs around 40 to 45. Anfi Tauro and the Bandama crater course are the hilliest walks; the Maspalomas dunes course and Meloneras are flatter. All add ons are confirmed and paid on site.
