Aequora Suites is located in Puerto del Carmen, one of the main tourist areas on Lanzarote. Located near the beach, airport and golf courses it is the perfect location for an island getaway with the hotel itself having five swimming pools, a gym and spa onsite. All the rooms are in a modern design with pool or garden view. There is a collection of other activities in the surrounding area within 30-minutes such as Timanfaya National Park and Puerto del Carmen’s city centre.
The golf course was designed in 1978 by the famous British architect Commander John Harris. It enjoys easy access to hotels and restaurants as well as the beach, ocean and local cultural attractions and is only a 20-minute drive from the modern Arrecife International Airport and only 10 minutes from the island's capital Arrecife.
Unusually, there are no developments around the course, so you can fully enjoy the views of the ocean and volcanoes at almost every hole. The greens and fairways are surrounded by local plants and trees, such as the beautiful Canary Island Date palm, which lends this all-year course a tropical air.
It is a par-72 course that stretches to around 6,700 yards at its longest, which, while not overly long by modern standards, features numerous doglegs which bring all of the golfer's clubs into play. The "picon" (volcanic sand) and the wind add an extra challenge to the pleasure of playing each hole.
The course also benefits from an excellent clubhouse with a pro-shop, restaurant and coffee bar. A full range of equipment is available for hire from half and full sets of clubs through to golf buggies.
The 6,750-yard, par-72 course is situated in the tourist centre of Puerto del Carmen, just five minutes from the best hotels and beaches of the island, and 10 minutes from the airport.
Relatively little land was moved in the course of the construction, and it shows. The holes have a beautifully natural feel, and while the course is relatively tree-less, it has the integrity to its design that results in you having to think your way around this course rather than overpower it.
It is an undulating layout, with hazards being mostly picon (gravel) and walls. There are lots of cacti and the bunkers are excellent and it's certainly a tough test on a windy day. Before going out to enjoy a round, you might borrow a club from the clubhouse to play from the picon otherwise you could ruin your clubs. Alternatively, arrange with your playing partners for free drops!
Lanzarote Golf continues to evolve and now has all necessary services - clubhouse with changing rooms, reception, shop, club room, bathrooms and cafeteria.
