A minigolf blog from Lanzarote

A look at some minigolf courses in Lanzarote.


Emily should've been on holiday with her sister Jo in Lanzarote this week. Like many people's holidays this year the trip has been postponed until a later date when it's safe.

Luckily Jo and her husband Les have been to Lanzarote before and have sent us photos of the miniature golf courses they've played and visited there.

Guest blog posts

Over the years I've published guest blog posts about minigolf courses in 21 countries.

Minigolf courses around the world

If you live near a course and would like to write about it or contribute some of your photos of it please do get in touch.

Similarly, if you're a minigolf course owner or manager we'd love to hear from you.

A new minigolf course from Spain

While a lot of the world is in lockdown people have been 'Putting at Home', creating their own crazy golf layouts and playing minigolf board games.

The team at Plakks have also taken the time to launch the new Pitch & Plakks indoor minigolf game.

Miniature Golf at Thermal Hotel Guayarmina on Gran Canaria

Who would like to be on holiday in the Canary Islands right now?


I found this old postcard of the Thermal Hotel Guayarmina in the Agaete Valley in the Canary Islands while looking for minigolf postcards at the most recent Stockport Town Hall postcard fair.


Postcard from Thermal Hotel Guayarmina on Gran Canaria

In among the advertised health and tranquility benefits of staying at the Thermal Hotel on Gran Canaria is Miniature Golf! I wonder what the course was like?


Emily was actually due to go on holiday to the Canary Islands this summer, with a trip to Lanzarote booked and now cancelled because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Check out the blog posts below for photos and details of courses friends and family have sent to us from their travels to the Canary Islands.

It's always brilliant to see different courses from around the world.

We've seen a few different types of snooker/pool/billiard golf courses and Pit-Pat tables over the years, but the one in Puerto Colón is a new variant of table top miniature golf billiards.

Mini Golf in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote

Much like buses, you wait ages to write another blog post about minigolf in Lanzarote and then two come along at once!

I love seeing oversized golf ball obstacles / decorations on miniature golf courses

My friend Richard Rochester has sent me some snaps of the Mini Golf course outside the Rubicon shopping centre, near the marina in Playa Blanca, Lanzarote.

It looks like a nice layout

It looks like we may have to arrange a Crazy World of Minigolf Tour trip there one day...

A view from the rooftop at the Biosfere shopping centre. There's a little train ride on the right!

This course isn't the first we've heard about in Lanzarote, as my sister-in-law Jo spotted a coulourful Mini Golf course by the beach in Puerto Del Carmen in 2014.

We love seeing minigolf courses from around the world. It's great to know there's another one we can play, if and when, our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour takes us to the Canary Islands.
