Golf del Sur

Golf del Sur – Golfing with a view of the Atlantic Ocean in Tenerife

Golf del Sur in the sunny south of Tenerife is a golf course that has been close to the hearts of many golfers for decades. The former 27-hole course has now been reduced to an 18-hole championship course, but still offers a well-rounded, challenging and spectacularly scenic golfing experience.

Location & first impression

The course is ideally located between the airport and the coast, less than ten minutes from Tenerife South Airport – perfect for golfers who like things to be straightforward. From the very first tee shot, you’ll notice that this is where the volcanic landscape of the Canary Islands meets true golfing spirit.

Black lava soil, green fairways, palm trees, cacti and endless views of the sea – this contrast is what makes Golf del Sur unique.

Course design & character

The 18-hole course was originally designed by Pepe Gancedo and later redesigned by Manuel Piñero. The result is a varied par-72 course that rewards strategic play and challenges even experienced golfers.

Typical features of Golf del Sur:

Wide fairways, often bordered by lava fields

Large, well-defended greens

Numerous bunkers with black sand – not only visually striking, but also tricky to play

Constant wind – especially on the open fairways towards the coast

Special fairways:
A highlight is the famous 3rd fairway, a short par 3 over a deep ravine with lava rock – thrills guaranteed. The long par 5 on hole 5, with a dogleg and water hazard, also leaves a lasting impression.

Condition & infrastructure

The course is generally well maintained, with lush fairways and manicured greens. The surroundings are dry and sunny – ideal for a relaxed round of golf without any major weather surprises.

The facility includes:

A driving range with sea views

Putting and chipping area

Golf school with experienced pros

Well-stocked pro shop with popular brands

Spacious clubhouse with bar and terrace for a drink after your round

Conclusion for golfers

Golf del Sur is now a modern, playable 18-hole course with a strong recognition factor. The course thrives on its volcanic terrain, sea views and its fair yet challenging layout. If you are looking for variety, nature and a touch of Canary Island flair, this is the place for you.

A course that should definitely be on your list during a golf holiday in Tenerife – especially in combination with the nearby Amarilla Golf or Las Américas courses.
