Solo Golf Holidays in Canary Islands

Travelling on your own doesn’t mean playing on your own. A solo golf holiday in the Canary Islands gives you the freedom to set your own pace — and the warmth of joining other golfers on the tee whenever you want company. Picture year-round sunshine, fairways edged by Atlantic blue, and a relaxed handshake on the first tee with people who love the game as much as you do. From £400 per person, we put the whole trip together so the only thing you decide each morning is which course to play.

Golf Planet Holidays has been arranging tailor-made golf trips since 1981, and solo travellers are some of our happiest customers. We know the resorts where single golfers slot naturally into group tee times, the hotels that feel sociable rather than isolating, and the hosted tours where you’ll arrive a stranger and leave with a foursome’s worth of new friends. You travel alone — but you’re never on your own.

Few destinations make a solo golf trip feel as easy as the Canaries. The weather is reliable all year, the flights from the UK are short, and the golf is concentrated enough that you can play a different course most mornings without long drives between them. Crucially for anyone travelling alone, the resort courses here run a steady stream of group tee times — so booking a single tee slot rarely means playing on your own. You’ll find yourself in a fourball with fellow visitors more often than not.

In Gran Canaria alone you have Maspalomas with its links-like dunes, the dramatic Meloneras hugging the coastline, the twin championship layouts at Salobre, and the historic Real Las Palmas — the oldest club in Spain. Over on La Gomera, the cliff-edge Tecina course delivers ocean views from almost every hole. That’s a week of genuinely varied, memorable golf, all within easy reach, and all bookable as a solo traveller.

The right hotel makes all the difference when you’re on your own. We steer solo golfers toward resorts with a friendly, communal feel and easy access to the first tee.

Kumara Serenoa, Maspalomas is our go-to for Gran Canaria — comfortable, well-placed for the Maspalomas, Meloneras, Salobre and Real Las Palmas courses, and surrounded by other golfers doing exactly what you’re doing. Hotel Jardin Tecina, La Gomera is a more intimate, garden-set retreat perched above the Atlantic, with the Tecina course on its doorstep — ideal if you want calm and quiet between rounds. And Hotel Dreams Jardin Tropical, Tenerife gives you a buzzier island base with a real holiday atmosphere. Whichever you choose, we’ll have it arranged, paid and confirmed before you leave home.

If the idea of arranging your own playing partners feels like hard work, our hosted and escorted group tours take it off your plate entirely. You join a small party of like-minded golfers — many of them travelling solo just like you — with tee times, transfers and dinners organised around the group. There’s company when you want it and freedom when you don’t. It’s the format solo golfers tell us they enjoy most: you arrive on your own and quickly find yourself part of the gang.

Every trip is fully arranged on a tailor-made basis from £400 per person, and as a UK ATOL Protected specialist we hold your money in trust through PTS until the day you travel — so your holiday is financially secure from the moment you book. We bill in pounds, and for travellers joining us from the US the strong dollar can make a Canaries golf week excellent value; flights are an easy ATOL-protected add-on, or you’re welcome to arrange your own and we’ll handle everything on the ground.
