As an avid golfer heading to the Canary Islands, your first choice should be Golf del Sur in Tenerife. Aside from excellent hotels and resort facilities, all keen players will just love a round on the stunning 27-hole golf course nearby – one of two in the area. Surrounded by a tropical paradise, a gorgeous view of the Atlantic Ocean and a breathtaking vision of Mount Tiede, this signature course is a great looking place to play.
Yet don’t let the attractive scenery distract you from your round. The main Golf del Sur course is a serious proposition, and is known for the difficult holes on its north side. The course opened in 1987 with its very first tournament. Designed by Pepe Gancedo, it was Manuel Pinero who later revamped it but kept the natural surroundings intact. You can still enjoy the native foliage, but the thick black sand-filled bunkers can make it a challenge to make par.
Besides the attractions of the golf course, several of the local hotels in and around Tenerife South offer special discounts and services to their guests at Golf del Sur. One luxury package includes car rental, tee times, a golf club locker and special golfing discounts.
There are several four and five star hotels and resorts nearby Golf del Sur, many with Arab and Mexican inspired design. If you want more intimate and private accommodation, there is also a choice of apartments that give you all the amenities of a hotel with the comforts of home. There is also a wide selection of luxury spas to enjoy.
There are plenty of great restaurants nearby that specialize in the traditional foods of the Canary Islands too. One such award winning eatery features a special dish of baked smoked goat’s cheese, while many restaurants serve the traditional Canarian stew.
