The golf course in Tauro - 9 holes i think
Salobre golf - outside maspalomas
meloneras golf
bandama golf course outside Las Palmas

So no different than Rab's list. There has been a big promotion on the golf courses on the island. I'm sure if you search on google you'll find out more. if so, post it on here so we all know

hi
only played 2 courses on gc.so here goes el salobre the newest course on the island is a very good testing course.buggies are compulsory and included in the price along with scoecard/ course planner /pencil/ bottled water /and ball cleaner .when you arrive 1 of the staff take your clubs from your transport and taken to your buggie .10 mins before your tee time you will be called to the 1st tee.when finished your clubs are taken again and cleaned and wiped and taken to a collection point .if you are a 2 ball or on ya todd you will be coupled.with another 2 ball.not many brits about so expect mainly norsk or germans.beware though they tend to bend the rules a bit mulligans ect.and have a compulsory picnic on the tenth.good banter though.prices vary i have played many times and never paid the same price tell them you are stopping at anfi or tauro.there again tell them any hotel and you will get discount.excpect to pay between 55 & 90 euros thats how sill the pricing is.

mapalomas is ok you dont get looked after as well and basically its find your own way around but course is good .prices are not negotiable well not to me anyway so its around about 75 e

9 holes at tauro is fine for your par 3 practice.and is in a1 condition the 18 hole course was to be inspected by the pga in dec and should be open by the time you arrive

hope this helps

Well viewers,i remember many years ago being the ¨sovereign Golf¨ rep for ¨Bandama golf club¨ here on the island.It is sited way up in the hills.Do you know something viewers,don´t tell anybody will you? but i have never met so many ¨Golf Snobs¨under one roof! They all used to gather in the club house wearing blazors like ¨the major¨ from ¨faulty towers¨(have you got the picture viewers?)
But joking apart,i met some lovely people,and a wonderful golf course with it´s own hotel and outside pool.( a very difficult course may i add) with wonderful scenery.
:dry:

[redswanlady]

Sound's like it would suit my friend down to the ground he is a blazor wearing snob if ever Ive seen one LOL

[russ]

they must have been pompous for u to have thought that lol

[mary]

Bandama golf course is lovely to walk around or park in theri car park and walk around the caldera of bandama - the ring of the volcano. We used to live very near htere and our main view was of Bandama.
Quite a pricey course I understand

[redswanlady]

Hi

Leading on from my previous thread, I have been given the unwelcome task of booking these games:

Saturday 11 Nov Las Palmas Golf
Monday 13 Nov Salobre Gold CLub
Tuesday 14 Nov Maspalomas Golf Club
Wednesday 15 Nov El Cortijo Club de Campo
All tee times about 10.00

As I know nothing about golf or where to start any help would be appreciated:ph34r:

[mary]

Go to Tauro golf club reception and ask the girl there - or Nicola, the golf pro - she may have some phone numbers for you or even do it for you

[redswanlady]

Thanks Mary I will pop over there tomorrow

[rab_c.]

hi swanny
the easiest way to book is to pass this link on to your friends as deposits are required to book golf courses in gran canaria.
this link is the easy way but you have to know everyones handicap which you will probably need any way if you go direct to any of the courses
http://www.teetimesanywhere.com/destinations/map_canaria.asp
you have to register but this is def the easy way.

[redswanlady]

Thanks Rab I have passed on the link and it has got me out of a job...

[jonesy414]

can anyone recommend a golf course in or near puerto rico. i seem to remember one not far from the commercial centre. any idea of prices? and do they hire clubs?


cheers

alex

[ivicker]

There is a golf course in Tauro which isn't that far away from Puerto Rico. It's currently just a 9 hole course, take a look at this link. It may be worth giving them a call to find out prices and if they hire clubs etc.

http://www.anfitauro.es/9golf_eng.html

[redswanlady]

This link should help out, the course in Tauro still isnt finished but the bit that is looks lovely and supposed to play well.

Hi,

Anyone been to Anfi Tauro complex? I am coming over for a week on Monday 26th November. I have stayed in the other Anfi resort before as my mum has a time share there, but she has managed to get us into Anfi Emerald.

Anyone know if Anfi Tauro has its own beach? I know it has a golf course but I am unsure if the restaurants on the complex are up and running yet as it is fairly new. Which beach is the nearest to there? Also, is the big market still on in Mogan?

Can anyone suggest any days out for if the weather is a little iffy? We will have a hire car. Only on BBC Weather GC is forecast for some rain!!!

[cheekychicp]

the weather on the bbc is for las palmas which is north we had some cloud earlier on but thats dissapeared and the sun is out as for anfi turo turo beach is the nearest which is black ash sand but no bars amadores is about 10mins away by car and thats realy nice with bars and shops. there is a restaurant near the complex think its turo grill or anfi grill went a few weeks ago bit pricey mainly fish on the menu but has a barbie night saturday. mogan market is still running and so is arguineguin hope this helps

[hammythered]

hi
stayed at anfi tauro 2 weeks ago.different to anfi del mar resorts. decor & furniture ect but good spec.3 pools.restaraunt run by bella pasta from anfi and good size spar on site.not much for the kids but if quite holiday is what your after its fine.lots of free sun beds nice gardens,great views from balcony,we played the course 1st day of full 18. course was v good and will get better hope you enjoy

adio ian

[nadriney]

Gracias Cheeky and Hammy.

Anfi Tauro sounds just right. Not got kids. Wanna chill out for the week.
Amadores beach it is then. Can't wait to see if I can get 'Asda Price' at the market in Mogan!

No puedo esperar a tomar el sol y beber mucha cerveza!!

Adios!

[redswanlady]

Restaurant wise we have anfi grill here close to the spar or a bit further into the old part of Tauro, cafe le paris which does great breakfasts and tapas. Anfi grill is pricey and would be better hopping in a cab and going into rico or along to amardores to be honest.

[Eyja]

Isn't everyone forgetting the super excellent restaurant in Tauro, by the highway to Mogán straight down from the new hotels and golf courses? Restaurante Guantanamo is one of the best in the south in my opinion, does not look like much, I admit, from the outside, but great food.

[nadriney]

Thanks for all the info. Its a great help.
Can anyone tell me what days the markets are on and whether Mogan
or Arguinegan is better and which would be closer to Anfi Tauro?

[redswanlady]

All the markets sell exactly the same things, Arguineguin is on tuesdays and thursdays and Mogan on fridays. I always say to people if you are going to see Mogan then go any day but a friday as it is chaos down there. Mogan would be closer to Tauro if you are driving and if you wanted a bigger market then San fernando one is the better which is on a saturday or wednesday.

Just across the road is Tauro Grill. It used to only open at lunchtime but now its started doing evenings with live music some nights. I havent been but have heard several good reports.

If you do a search there are a few threads on golf, here is one http://www.canaryforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2813&highlight=golf

[bobbys]

Does anyone know the average price for a round of golf around PR. I know Tauro has a course and Ive heard its about the same as the UK but my son is coming over with me in July and is mad on golf. Also does anyone know whether sets of clubs are available for hire and the costs to do this.

[redswanlady]

A friend of mine came out and played every course and they range in price and how good they were, if you do a search there is loads of info on golf courses here, just a note though tauro is expensive to play on.

[liam]

dont forget to bring your 'handicap' cert with you...without it you wont get to play.......

youll also need a big bottle of water and a nice pastie for the break..........

[rab_c.]

and knowing you bobby old chap remember to bring a map for when you get lost in them big bunkers lol. (not many cranes to lead you round )
never mind the sniffer dogs will find you as you always seem to leave a trail. back to thread there is a link for you. mate http://www.espana-golf.com/pages/region/grancanaria
