There are a number of reasons why golf as a sport has captivated so many people. Firstly, it is a challenge. It is not easy to make a ball arrive into a small hole 400 metres away with just a few strokes of a club, and the act of concentrating on this difficulty and overcoming it is highly addictive. Secondly, golf is loved because it is so simple. There is just a ball, a set of clubs and a series of holes. This straightforwardness is therapeutic for those with problems to face in an increasingly complex world. The third reason why golf is popular is because it is a sport which is played outside, often in a beautiful landscape. Golfers get the chance to be in nature whilst having fun with their friends. The best golfing experience takes place during good weather on a course with good facilities and accessibility. The Canary Islands is blessed with a number of top class golf courses, and warm sunny weather throughout the year. This is why the Atlantic archipelago has become a mecca for golf fans.

The best climate in the world
The Canary Islands boasts the best climate in the world, with low rainfall and mild year-round temperatures of about 24ºC. So, in February, for instance, golfers can hit the links with little more than a polo shirt and a pair of Bermuda shorts. How great is that?
