Ravines cut through the volcanic ground at New Course, placing a premium on controlling distance and shaping the ball to the right side of each fairway. Ron Kirby’s design asks for thought rather than automatic driver, with changing levels and the natural contours of Gran Canaria influencing both line and club selection. The course has recently resumed to its full 18 hole, par 70 format as of winter 2026, following work undertaken within David Williams’s master plan. Green standards and environmental considerations have been central to the refurbishment. Tee It Forward options allow golfers to choose a length that suits their usual driving distance, making the challenge more relevant for mixed groups. Salobre remains the only Gran Canaria resort with two courses on site, so the Old Course provides a useful second round without leaving the grounds.
The adjoining Salobre Hotel Resort and Serenity makes it easy to settle into a golf focused stay, with walking trails, outdoor exercise and yoga available between rounds. SENS Kitchen Patio Garden serves breakfasts based around Gran Canaria produce, then made to order evening dishes beside its vertical garden. For a later meal or drink, Sunset sits at the hotel’s highest point, looking across the mountains towards the sea while serving international cooking with local ingredients. The grounds have more than 4,300 plants and 227 palms, while the Aloedarium alone contains over 500 aloe specimens collected from around the world.
