Meloneras Golf by Lopesan Layout and Playability
The course has four tee options on every hole, so golfers of all skill levels can enjoy it.
The front nine offers a scenic inland experience amid hundreds of palm trees, lakes, and views of the volcanic mountains. The fairways are wide but feature water hazards and bunkers that demand precision.
The back nine is along the Atlantic cliffs, with great views of the ocean. Wind conditions and elevation changes add layers of excitement. The uneven ground and barrancos (volcanic ravines) test shot-making skills.
Golf carts with GPS help you find your way around the course.
Signature Holes and Challenges
Meloneras Golf has several holes that stand out for their beautiful scenery.
Hole 3, a par 3 over water guarded by a stone wall, creates an iconic photo opportunity and an early test of accuracy.
Holes 11 to 16 are the hardest, with cliff-edge play, ravine carries, and greens close to the ocean.
Holes 13 to 16 offer amazing views, with the greens seeming to touch the sea.
Hole 12 is often considered one of the best holes for its Atlantic views and the need for accurate shots.
The course rewards careful planning rather than just hitting the ball hard. Bunkers, winds, and natural hazards make the course both fun and challenging for all players.
