Salobre Golf – New Course
Gran Canaria’s Wildest Golf Adventure
Originally opened in 2008 and designed by Ron Kirby, the Salobre Golf New Course (North Course) is a bold, unconventional layout carved into the volcanic terrain of southern Gran Canaria. Extensively renovated in 2012, 2018, and 2022 by David Williams, this course now forms part of a 27-hole complex, offering a rugged, high-elevation experience that’s unlike anything else on the island. With dramatic doglegs, steep ravines, and panoramic views, it’s a technical and visual thrill ride for adventurous golfers.
