Lanzarote has the good fortune to be far enough away from Africa to avoid the sand storms, but close enough to benefit from the warm water currents that flow by. It has only a few mountains and North-South tilt that means it is almost always 70 degrees and sunny. The island gets very little rainfall and the temperate breeze from Africa keeps the temperatures fairly consistent. It is, in other words, a golfer’s paradise.

There are two golf courses on the island. Costa Teguise and the Lanzarote Golf Resort. Costa Teguise is the older of the two, although it has been beautifully and lovingly maintained. Both courses are well designed, championship courses. Lanzarote Golf Resort benefits from the latest hydro-technology. With so little rainfall, the courses have to be very eco-conscious and the LGR employed the latest in sprinkler design and landscaping to ensure that what little water is needed is used to the utmost efficiency.

Planning Lanzarote holidays is not hard. There are cheap holiday packages to be had in Lanzarote. You just have to either plan far in advance or go at the very last moment. Either way and you can save a bundle on everything from airfare to accommodations. Most resorts on Lanzarote offer an all-inclusive package. For an older couple especially, this can be a great deal. All food, drinks and some entertainment covered in one bill! You can spend your days golfing and your nights relaxing at the resort, never wondering where to eat.

If you want to be able to break from daily golfing Lanzarote has great shopping and fun activities like kayaking and snorkling. There are museums that chronicle the island’s rich history and parks to showcase the flora and fauna of this beautiful place. Lanzarote is known for its eco-friendly stance on everything from real estate planing to conservation so a trip is an education, too. Whatever your reason for visiting the island, rest assured that your first trip won’t be your last!
