Tenerife Golf Holidays

Tenerife Golf Holidays

Fancy a winter golf break? Or perhaps a bit of summer sunshine along the fairways? Golf hotels in Tenerife make an idea base all year round. With average highs of 21 to 22 degrees in the winter months, and up to a scorching 29°C at the height of summer, Tenerife has the perfect climate for a golf holiday. The only problem is, with the rich choice of golf courses and superb golf resorts in Tenerife, it’s a little difficult to know where to start.

Where to book golf breaks in Tenerife

Across the island, you’ll be able to find a number of courses and resorts that suit all budgets. Most holidaymakers settle themselves towards the south of the island in proximity to Costa Adeje and Playa De Las Americas, two destinations which have been Tenerife golf hot spots since the 1970’s.

You’ll find plenty of fantastic accommodation here, to suit a variety of budgets. There are 5-star Michelin-starred restaurants on offer, mouth-watering cheap eats, and a number of places to try the best local cuisine. And all of this is within a short drive from four of the best golf courses in Tenerife.

A little further north is the Buenavista del Norte resort, a much quieter stay offering a real authentic Canary Islands experience. The area has a rugged coastline and a fabulous course to play, designed by Seve Ballesteros.

Best golf courses in Tenerife

The Buenavista golf course is a truly unique course in Tenerife and is located a 75-minute drive from Costa Adeje and Playa De Las Americas. Even if that’s not where you’re spending your Tenerife golf break, it’s well worth the drive and offers a great challenge when you’re driving along the back 9. The stunning backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean will also add extra drama and beauty to your round.

The same can be said for the unique Tecina golf course at La Gomera. La Gomera is the second smallest of the Canary Islands, sitting just off Tenerife’s west coast. The epic mountain top fairways are well worth a ferry trip across from Los Christianos.

Abama Golf, a little closer to the holiday hotspots, also enjoys breath-taking views over the Atlantic Ocean with the course reaching a high point of 315 meters. Hazards including 22 lakes provide plenty of challenge, whilst waterfalls and palm trees make it one of the prettiest rounds to play on the island.

Back in town, in the very heart of Playa De Las Americas is Golf Las Americas, ideal for those just wanting to stroll up from their hotel. It’s a course that features water heavily, so it’s well worth bringing a few extra balls ahead of playing this 18.

Amarilla Golf at the Golf Del Sur resort is a Championship standard course made famous when it hosted the Tenerife Open. The 5^th at Amarilla is arguably the most unique hole you can experience as a golfer in Tenerife. It has no fairway. Instead, golfers tackling this challenge must hit their ball across an area of sea to reach the green. Popular accommodation at the Golf Del Sur includes the Select Sunningdale, stylish apartments that are just a short walk away from the beach and marina.

What else is there to do aside form golf in Tenerife?

As well as being the largest, Tenerife is one of the most interesting and intriguing islands in the Canary Islands. Its attractions include Teide National Park, a World Heritage Site, a visit to which is like stepping onto a different planet. The park is home to the Pico Viejo volcano, which has contributed to an array of unique flora and fauna that are well worth exploring.

Out towards the coast, there are plenty of incredible beaches such as Playa De Las Americas Playa Del Duque. There are also some fantastic water sports to enjoy here and first class beachside bars to cool off in.

Siam Park is a novelty which needs to be enjoyed. It’s the island’s biggest theme park and the real thrill seekers will love the Tower of Powerslide, plummeting you down a near-vertical 90ft drop.
