Salinas de Antigua at Golf Club Salinas de Antigua

Salinas de Antigua sits in the interior of Fuerteventura, the second-largest of the Canary Islands, in the municipality of Antigua. The course was designed by Manuel Piñero, the Spanish professional who competed on the European Tour and played in three Ryder Cups during the 1980s. Since retiring from competitive golf, Piñero has designed several courses in Spain and Portugal, bringing a player's perspective to his routing and strategic choices.

The landscape of Fuerteventura differs markedly from the lusher Canary Islands to the west. The terrain here is arid and volcanic, with sparse vegetation and expansive views across rolling desert-like topography. Salinas de Antigua reflects this environment, with fairways carved through the natural contours and native scrub. The wind, a constant presence across Fuerteventura, influences play throughout the round and demands thoughtful club selection and shot shaping.

The course serves both tourists visiting the island's beach resorts and local residents. Fuerteventura's golf offerings remain limited compared to Gran Canaria or Tenerife, making Salinas de Antigua one of the few full-length options for visitors seeking a round in this part of the archipelago. The layout provides a contrast to coastal courses elsewhere in the Canaries, with its inland setting and exposure to the trade winds that sweep across the island's central plains.
