ES Would you like to enjoy a round of golf under bright sunshine, with sea views and pleasant weather all year round? Then the Canary Islands are the ideal destination!
Why the Canary Islands are ideal for golfing
The Canary Islands – also known as the “Islands of eternal Spring” – offer golf enthusiasts perfect conditions all year long. With an average temperature of around 24°C, more than 300 sunny days a year and hardly any rain, you can tee off on the Canaries in any season. Thanks to the mild trade winds, the climate remains pleasant even in the summer months, while the winter months are mild and dry.
In addition to the climate, the diverse landscapes are impressive: from lush mountains on La Gomera to the golden dunes of Maspalomas on Gran Canaria. The courses are excellently maintained, many offer panoramic views of the Atlantic, and the combination of comfortable holiday accommodations, first-class gastronomy and nature experiences makes golfing here unique.

Best time to golf and climate
The best time to golf in the Canary Islands is actually year-round, as the climate is mild, sunny and stable. However, there are small differences:
High season: Winter months (November to March) – pleasant temperatures, many golfers choose the islands as a winter escape.
Low season: Spring and autumn – slightly fewer visitors, perfect conditions (not too hot, hardly any rain).
In summer it can get warm, especially in southern areas, but thanks to the trade winds it usually remains comfortable.
The combination of sunshine, mild climate and excellent infrastructure makes the Canary Islands a true all-year golf destination.
