Does your golfing passion wane in the winter, are you reduced to computer
games and carpet putting? Forget all that, every day is a golfing day
in Tenerife, and with a great all year climate, even losing wont feel
so bad. There are nine courses on the island, two are nine hole tasters
for the big championship courses, but even they are blessed with a
full range of training facilities, restaurants and unique views.
If you are keen on golf and looking to buy or
rent property, you will be pleased to know that in Tenerife, the 2 go
together like Tiger and trophy. So
grab your trolley, or if you prefer, hop on a buggy, and let’s
do a tour of the island and take in both.
Real Club de Golf Tenerife
With respect to age and tradition, lets start
at the REAL
CLUB DE GOLF TENERIFE in Tacaronte near the north
airport of Los Rodeos. Built in 1932, it is the second oldest course
in Spain
but it can still teach the young upstarts a thing or two about
style.
Gently sloping over 5,694 metres and 600 metres above
the sea,
the long drives will give you time to appreciate the lush green
surroundings
of the north. From the large free car park to the snack bar and
restaurant it oozes class It has so many members that open sessions
are only on
weekdays between 8am and 12.30, but well worth the wait.
Golf La Roselada
While in the north, let’s pop in to the
first of the 9 hole courses. GOLF
LA ROSALEDA is
near to Puerto de la Cruz and in wine growing country. This course
might not have the vintage but
it has the body, with great training facilities including a bi-lingual
school. Bunkers, chipping and driving greens and putting on real or artificial
grass will set you up nicely and you can always double up if
you want to play 18 holes.
Now lets head for the South of Tenerife.
Golf Del Sur
There are two modern golf courses within ten
minutes of the Reina Sofia airport in the South of the island. The first
of them, . GOLF
DEL
SUR has wide fairways
and testing water hazards, just don’t get distracted
by the cliff top views of the Atlantic.
You are spoilt for choice
here with 27 holes
surrounded by luxury developments such as the villas
of Alamos Park .
Amarilla Golf
Next door is another purpose built resort AMARILLA
GOLF where designer Donald Steel let nature take centre
stage and you will find yourself facing an impressive mountain range
at some
holes
and hugging
the coast
path at others. At the 5th hole you even have to chip over
the incoming sea.
Just ask the residents of Sun
Bay Villas or Island
Golf Villas and they will vouch for the peace
and serenity that comes with a property
close to a golf course that is more like a nature reserve
Golf Los Palos
GOLF LOS PALOS is
the other 9 hole course and is a little further west towards Los Cristianos.
The shop,
restaurant and kids playground will look after your needs
and it’s a great
way for beginners to start. The luxury resort of Palm
Mar next door is proving to be a real draw for golfers,
especially
La
Fuente del Palm Mar right on the seafront.
Campo de Golf Las Americas
Here’s a real surprise, one of the most attractive and restful
courses is CAMPO DE
GOLF LAS AMERICAS sandwiched
between the bar and club capital of the south and the
motorway but an oasis of calm in it’s natural
amphitheatre setting. The 3 floor clubhouse, gentle
slopes, streams and waterfalls all helped to make this
a big favourite for the players at the Spanish Ladies
Open a few years
ago.
Golf Costa Adeje
GOLF COSTA ADEJE went
one better, staging the 2003 Mens Spanish Open, and how could they
not have been
impressed by
the 27 holes from mountains down to the sea. Built
on old banana plantations it has kept the terraces
and low
stone
walls, and
it’s large colonial
clubhouse is only upstaged by a 45,000 square metre
driving range on three levels, complete with a
lift for the buggies. Now that’s
classy!
Keen golfers looking for property
in Costa Adeje can choose from the decadent
villas of Habitats Del Duque
to the fishing village charm of Magnolia
Golf Resort apartments and the villas of Caleta
Golf
Resort.
Abama Golf
If dropping names of celebrity golfers like Bill
Clinton and Zinedine Zidane doesn’t impress
you, the sheer scale and luxury of ABAMA
GOLF on the west coast, certainly will.
Take a 5 star hotel with award winning restaurants,
tennis and spa facilities
add 25,000 trees, 22 lakes and waterfalls and
6,232 metres of playing surface and you are
starting to get the picture. You want more?
Ok then
how about it’s own beach, views of La Gomera and a challenging
course for players of all levels. You might never want to leave, well
Abama
Luxury Residencies can give you a home
on site, cutting your handicap is down to you
though.
Buenavista Club de Golf
And we still have one more gem for you BUENAVISTA
CLUB DE GOLF in
the north west is
one of
Sevriano
Ballesteros’s best designs,
building on nature’s groundwork of the Teno mountain range and
a rugged landscape that asks the golfer lots of tough questions. Winner
of the 2006 Madera Verde environmental business award, there’s
plenty of natural distractions but keep focused on your game and reward
yourself at the restaurant perched on a cliff top overlooking the Atlantic.
