Amarilla Golf & Country Club
13 holes on this golf course run alongside the sea and consequently have incredible ocean and sweeping views straight up to the top of Teide mountain, which are breathtaking. On the 5th you’ll have to hit over the water hazard…the sea!
Highly recommended course.

Buenavista Golf Club
Buenavista Golf Club Located on the north-western corner of the island, Buenavista is surrounded by the Teno mountain range and the Atlantic Ocean. 5 holes are close to the rocky coastline, thus creating a great backdrop to your game and giving the impression you are teeing off into the ocean. You’d be hard pushed to beat the views on the 15th and the 17th anywhere in the world. The great club house has superb views over most of the course.

Costa Adeje Golf
This golf course was designed around the existing terrain, with old farm terracing and original dry stone walls giving this course a very traditional feel. The views are spectacular over the sea and towards the neighbouring island of La Gomera. It begins with a long par 5 and ends with another par 5. You can even go down to the driving range in your buggy…in a lift. Thouroughly enjoyable course. Hosts to the Tenerife Ladies Open 2008. Winner Rebecca Hudson (UK)
