Real Club de 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 .
Real Club de Tenerife
Founded in 1932 , 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 .
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 .
Golf Costa Adeje
Golf Costa Adeje is both surprising and unusual as it ’ s unique layout respects the old farm terraces that slope down to the sea , framed by the original dry stone walls . Boasting stunning views of the ocean , La Gomera island and Adeje mountains , it features 27 holes on wide greens and obstacles such as gorges and lakes . The pleasant and spacious Club House has large terraces and a central courtyard .
