Buenavista
Tenerife » Golf Del Sur
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
flowers; cacti, palm trees and other large colourful plants. The
course is known for its difficult holes 3 (par 5) and 4 (par 4) on
the northern part of the course. Its wide paths are flanked by an
impressive ravine of coloured rocks where spectacular indigenous
cacti grow with views of Mount Teide. The entrance onto the
green for the second hole (par 3) is surrounded by a large bunker
of black sand which requires a great deal of accuracy.
Tenerife » Real Tenerife
Founded in 19 , this is the second oldest golf club in Spain and still
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.
Impressive old trees make it very pleasant and give some shade in
parts of the round.
Tenerife » Buenavista
Located on striking cliffs and flanked by the impressive Teno
Country Park, the Seve Ballesteros designed Buenavista Golf
enjoys close proximity to the stunning coastline. On several of
the greens it feels like you are hitting the ball into the ocean.
In the first half, the most demanding holes are the par fours
and in the second half the par threes require greater precision,
particularly the 15th and the 17th holes, both on the edge of a
cliff. A large central lake in front of the Club House between the
9th and 18th holes and a waterfall are water obstacles that lend
a fresh feel to this unusual course in North Tenerife. An enjoyable
18 holes and a Club House boasting superb panoramic views of
the entire course.
Tenerife » Las Americas
In the centre of Playa de Las Américas, one of the most famous
holiday resorts in the south of the island, Golf Las Américas
stands out for its fantastic location in a natural amphitheatre
facing the sea with superb ocean views of the island of La
Gomera. 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 is an architectural gem with comfortable
balconies offering excellent views of the golf course.
