Real Club de Golf De Las Palmas — Attraction in Santa Brígida

I played here in August 2022 whilst on holiday and have mixed feelings about this course, but would still recommend golf lovers to play here if you are visiting the region. It's important to bear in mind that this is very much a members club that is open to tourists, but not a golf course specifically for tourists, so with this being said let me list the main points of my personal experience : Positives 1/ it's a beautiful location on the edge of a volcano crator, offering picturesque views. 2/ despite the location, its quite a quick and easy drive from Las Palmas city. 3/ the staff were nice and generally helpful. 4/ the course layout is fun and quite challenging, and for the most part in excellent condition. Negatives 1/ The driving range is quite limited in length, due to the topography of the land, but it exists so this is a very minor point. 2/ This really was the big negative for me : I have never played a golf course in my life with so much maintenance work going on while golfers are playing. There were greenkeepers everywhere. Virtually every hole there seemed to be a distraction, either a worker or supervisor buggying along or across the fairway, somebody hosing a green, big mowers shuttling up and down, a tractor scarifying the ground, there was nearly always something. Maybe it was exceptional circumstances for an upcoming tournament or something, I don't know, but it really put me off my game and definitely had an impact on my scorecard. 3/ 110€ for the green fee + buggy is quite expensive for the playing conditions mentionned above. For this price I expect more relaxing playing conditions to be honest, which is why I'm giving this course only 3 stars out of 5.

I'd like to come back one day and give a higher rating as the location and course deserve better. Also I didn't get a chance to test the clubhouse food and bar. Thanks...

A very nice traditional golf course dating back to 1891. It must have been a huge feat to build in those days on the top of a volcano (not active!). The course is in good condition with great greens. Playing for the first time is a challenge, as there are quite a few blind shots, and wayward shots will end up down the side of the volcano on the first few holes. Walking is good exercise here! Trolleys are made for the mountains, and really robust, if not the best looking. Some stunning views from some of the holes as you are near to the highest point in the island. Great customer service at reception and clubhouse. Definitely worth playing if you want something different...

Escuela Wara Wara – Un rayo de esperanza en Sierra Leona

La reciente gala benéfica organizada por Escuela Wara Wara en el Real Club de Golf de Bandama fue un rotundo éxito. Este evento no solo sirvió para recaudar fondos destinados a mejorar la educación de los niños en Sierra Leona, sino también para visibilizar la labor incansable de esta ONG. Hubo comida, el grupo musical Sinergia amenizó el evento, una rifa. Todo donado por los asistentes y por empresas canarias .

Escuela Wara Wara se ha convertido en un faro de esperanza para las comunidades más desfavorecidas de Sierra Leona. Desde su fundación en 2012, esta organización ha trabajado incansablemente para proporcionar a los niños una educación de calidad, construyendo nuevas escuelas, rehabilitando las existentes y formando a maestros. Gracias a su esfuerzo, cientos de niños ahora tienen acceso a una educación digna, lo que les permitirá construir un futuro mejor para ellos y sus familias.

Pero los beneficios de la labor de Escuela Wara Wara trascienden el ámbito educativo. La construcción de pozos de agua potable y la instalación de letrinas han mejorado significativamente las condiciones de vida de las comunidades, reduciendo la incidencia de enfermedades relacionadas con el agua y la falta de saneamiento. Además, la organización ha generado empleo local y ha empoderado a las comunidades, fomentando su participación en la toma de decisiones.

Es reconfortante encontrar una organización que cumple con las expectativas y que demuestra un compromiso real con las comunidades a las que sirve. La participación de tantas familias en un ambiente tan agradable y ameno es una muestra del impacto positivo que Escuela Wara Wara está teniendo en nuestra sociedad.

¡Enhorabuena a Escuela Wara Wara por esta magnífica iniciativa! Su trabajo es una inspiración para todos aquellos que creemos en un mundo más justo y equitativo.
