Tenerife Golf

Tenerife has grown significantly as a golf destination and offers 8 courses plus one on the nearby island of La Gomera (40 minutes by catamaran).  Tee off times can be booked at the time of making your holiday reservation or my our staff on island.

Below are some basic details on the courses.

Abama  Situated in a very peaceful area in Guía de Isora  and the newest, this is an exceptional 18-hole course, a genuine work of art created by Dave Thomas. Fabulous views of the sea and the island of La Gomera and you can improve your swing on the practice green (3 holes) or just sit and relax at the Club House. The golf course is peppered with 22 lakes and over 90,000 palm trees.

Amarilla Golf  Right next to the ocean, the designer, Donald Steel, created an 18-hole course overlooking the sea where you are sometimes obliged to drive the ball over the waves onto the next green. Canary pine trees and obstacles liven up your round of golf at this course, which also boasts fantastic views of Teide. The club has a pitch and putt course, a swimming pool and a horse riding club.

Buenavista Golf  located in the North on striking cliffs and surround by Teno Country Park, the Seve Ballesteros designed course enjoys close proximity to the stunning coastline. On several of the greens it feels like you are hitting the ball into the ocean. It is an enjoyable 18 holes and has a Club House boasting superb panoramic views of the entire course.

Centro de Golf Los Palos is a nine hole, par 27 golf course and at the same time a luxuriant, colourful garden. Virtually on one level and featuring refreshing water obstacles of lakes and streams, it's perfect for beginners or for improving your short game. Designed by Integral Golf Design, it boasts a lovely terrace overlooking the entire golf course.

Golf Costa Adeje is surprising because it is superbly adapted to its surroundings. Pepe Gancedo designed an unusual layout respecting the old farm terraces that slope down to the sea framed by the original dry stone walls. With really beautiful views of the ocean, the island of La Gomera and the rugged Adeje mountains.  The spacious Club House has large terraces and a central courtyard. An unusual feature is the lift which takes you down to the driving range in your buggy.

Golf del Sur opened in 1987 with a professional golf tournament, the first of a history of sporting events. Pepe Gancedo designed the layout which was later modified by Manuel Pinero. Pinero enhanced all the natural protected areas that surround the 27 holes, between the ravine, highlighting the beautiful indigenous.  The course is known for its difficult holes 3 (par 5) and 4 (par 4) on the northern part of the course.

Golf Las Americas In the centre of Playa de Las Americas, this course stands out for its fantastic location in a natural amphitheatre facing the sea with superb ocean views. The designer, John Jacobs, gave priority to the obstacles on this 18 hole, par 72 course, which covers a total of 6,039 metres. The club house has comfortable balconies offering excellent views of the golf course.

Real Club de Golf de Tenerife   Founded in 1932 this course preserves a typically British air of distinction. Situated at 600m above sea level it boasts 18 holes in undulating fairways that ascend with a spectacular view of Teide. The dry stream beds play a part in several holes. The 4th hole is one of the most difficult because you have to be on the green at the second stroke, as there are out of bounds to the left and drops to the right.
