Lopesan Meloneras Golf

Lopesan Meloneras Golf brings together mountain views and Atlantic-side holes on an 18-hole course in Gran Canaria. Located in the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, it offers a setting shaped by both the island’s mountains and its rocky coastline. For a visitor considering golf in the Canary Islands, that combination is a defining feature of the club.

Ron Kirby designed the course, which opened in June 2006. Its golfing history also includes hosting the Spanish PGA Championship in 2007. Those details provide a starting point for understanding the venue: an 18-hole Kirby layout with a place in Spanish professional competition.

The course and its setting

The landscape gives the round two distinct points of reference. Views of the Canarian mountains connect the course with the island’s interior, while holes beside the Atlantic bring the ocean and rocky shore into the picture. The interest lies in that meeting of mountain scenery and coastal golf within the same course.

For golfers comparing places to play on Gran Canaria, the setting is worth considering alongside the course’s designer and history. Lopesan Meloneras is not described solely by its ocean-side holes: the mountain views are also part of its character. Together, these elements form the backdrop to its 18 holes.

Academy and practice facilities

The club has a golf academy and practice areas, adding teaching and practice facilities to the course itself. The academy has its own entry in this guide, keeping information about that part of the club separate from the overview of the layout and its surroundings.

Restaurant-bar and golf shop

A restaurant-bar and golf shop are also among the club’s facilities. Each has a dedicated page in the guide, alongside the academy. These services complete the club’s offering beyond the course, bringing dining, golf retail, teaching and practice together at Lopesan Meloneras Golf.

Placing it on the island

For trip planning, the club’s location is San Bartolomé de Tirajana on Gran Canaria, in the province of Las Palmas and the Canary Islands region. Its essential points are straightforward: 18 holes by Ron Kirby, an opening in June 2006, mountain and Atlantic scenery, and supporting facilities that include an academy, practice areas, a restaurant-bar and a shop.
