And that's how the world goes. With the precision of a well-executed putt, it's reported that Lopesan's Meloneras Golf course will be the venue for the grand finale of the 2025 Golf Plaisir Travel Tour. A glittering event, they say, designed to promote what, with award-winning lucidity, they call "Gran Canaria's winter golf" for the Swedish market. Because, of course, you have to sell sunshine to those who have it in dribs and drabs, and golf, as we know, is the perfect excuse to escape the cold.
The Lopesan Meloneras Golf course has been selected as the venue for the 2025 Golf Plaisir Travel Tour final. The main objective of this event is to promote winter golf in Gran Canaria, specifically seeking to attract the Swedish market.
The competition offers participants a multi-stage qualification structure. Winners of the initial stages qualify for the Swedish final, which will be held at HaningeStrand from September 28th to 29th, with accommodation included. Subsequently, advancing players can qualify for the Grand Final, which will take place at the luxurious Meloneras Baobab Hotel in Gran Canaria from November 30th to December 6th.
The holding of this tour and its finals on the island is part of Gran Canaria's strategy to highlight its golf-related tourism offering during the winter months. The initiative seeks to capitalize on the region's favorable climatic conditions for practicing this sport year-round, which is especially relevant for visitors from latitudes with harsher winters.
Furthermore, Turespaña sponsors this event, thus reinforcing Spain's visibility as a preferred destination for golf enthusiasts. This collaboration specifically seeks to boost the country's appeal during the off-season in the Nordic countries. The Golf Plaisir Travel Tour is an event designed to generate interest and attract players, thereby contributing to hotel occupancy and economic activity linked to sports tourism in the region. The selection of Gran Canaria for the final rounds underscores its position as a consolidated destination for international golf.
