Golf Costa Adeje
James Kinloch
Golf Travel Specialist · played this course
Golf Costa Adeje in the south of Tenerife is the course that introduces most UK clients to Canarian golf, and it's a worthy introduction. The barrancos — volcanic ravines — that cut through the lower section of the course create forced carries and dramatic elevations that are completely unlike anything you'll find in Portugal or mainland Spain.
Hole 7 is the signature: a par-3 that plays from a clifftop tee across a barranco to a green on the opposite wall. The gap is perhaps fifty metres across and a hundred metres deep. The first time you stand on that tee you go slightly quiet. That's the correct response.
The course plays well in all conditions that Tenerife South produces, which is to say: good weather, consistently.
Signature hole
Par-3 7th, barranco carry
"A volcanic ravine between tee and green. The drop is approximately thirty metres. I've seen experienced golfers take an air shot here. Don't look down until after you've swung."

Golf Buenavista del Norte
★★★★★Buenavista del Norte is the Canary Islands course that I recommend most enthusiastically, and nobody outside of serious golf circles has ever heard of it. Seve Ballesteros designed it on the northwest coast of Tenerife with the Atlantic Ocean as the boundary on three sides and the Teno massif rising behind it. The result is a course of extraordinary scenic quality that also happens to be a very good golf course.
Anfi Tauro Golf
★★★★Anfi Tauro is the Canary Islands course I recommend most enthusiastically to clients who have only been to Tenerife. The Robert Trent Jones Sr design from 1998 sits in a dramatic ravine on Gran Canaria's southwest coast, with the Atlantic Ocean visible from the upper holes and the barrancos — volcanic ravines — cutting through the lower part of the course in a way that's completely unlike anything in mainland Spain or Portugal.
