John Goldacre stated that the announcement of the granting of the licenses for the new golf courses was perfect timing in relation to our expansion plans, the new Gran Canaria operations complement our existing operations in Fuerteventura and was the natural choice for the company’s first office outside of Fuerteventura.

The Canary Islands continues to grow in popularity with golfers as it is the only place in Europe where you are guaranteed good weather all the year round, Fuerteventura has recognized this fact with the launch of four new golf courses the newest being Salinas de Antigua Golf an 18 hole golf course constructed in Costa de Antigua which GoldAcre Estates has just been appointed joint selling agents.

Gran Canaria has the oldest golf course in all of Spain - Real Club de Golf Las Palmas was founded on the 17th December 1891 by British expatriates.

Gran Canaria currently boasts six Golf Courses throughout the Island and with the ongoing development will surely becomes the golfing center for the Canary Islands in the future.

GoldAcre Estates recognizes that in the future the golf property sector is going to be one of the most dominate forces in the Canary Islands Real Estate Market and because of this is building a specialist TEAM that focuses on this important arena with the constructors and developers.

GoldAcre Estates new website www.goldacreestatesgrancanaria.com has a special section dedicated to golf property in Gran Canaria. Puerto Mogan was the natural choice for their new office as it close to the new Anfi Tauro Golf, Malspalomas and Salobre Golf Courses, Gary Witt the new Operations Manager for GoldAcre Estates in Gran Canaria stated that the fresh approach to Real Estate sales that GoldAcre Estates presented to the industry was just what Gran Canaria needed and he was very excited about the long term growth prospects that both GoldAcre Estates and Gran Canaria offered to both clients and staff alike.

Gary has joined the team at GoldAcre Estates after working for Interealty Canary Islands for the last 3 years as Island Manager in Gran Canaria, Gary brings a wealth of experience and knowledge of Gran Canaria and the property market within the island to both prospective purchasers and GoldAcre Estates.

GoldAcre Estates new website www.goldacreestatesgrancanaria.com reflects the companies slogan of "More Than Just Another Estate Agent" by incorporating new ideas using Google Maps technology to bring the properties that are available throughout Gran Canaria closer to the prospective purchaser by allowing them to view the location and the proximity to local towns, beaches, golf courses and amenities etc.
This exciting project is the culmination of 4 months hard work by the design team at GoldAcre Estates and will be the future format for all new GoldAcre Estates websites.
