LOCAL KNOWLEDGE

BEST TIME TO GO

Year round though temperatures are perfect for golf between October and April. Plus it won’t be as expensive either with plenty of good value packages likely to be available.

GETTING THERE

Around 17 airlines fly direct from various UK airports to Las Palmas. For the cheapest flights, avoid the high season. Flight time is just over four hours.

BEST PLACES TO STAY

You’ll struggle to beat the luxury Sheraton Golf Resort & Spa, a mountain retreat which overlooks the coast and the resort’s two courses. Everything about it is top drawer.

OFF-COURSE ATTRACTIONS

The stunning dunesland of Maspalamos are out of this world while there’s good clean family fun to be enjoyed at Loro Paque, Palmito Park and Aqualand. For something different, how about camel trekking in Arteara Park?

FOOD & DRINK

Head south to the lively neighbouring seaside towns of Playa del Ingles and Maspalomas, both bristling with bars and restaurants - La Proa Casa Reyes in Maspalomas dishes up a great beach-side paella.
