1. The weather 2. The courses The island’s average annual temperature of 23 degrees Celsius is extraordinary and, of course, highly practical for a round. Players can enjoy a game in shorts and a polo shirt in summer. And in winter? The same of course! Springtime on the island runs from January to December!

Tenerife’s courses have been designed by golfing greats over the years. Donald Steel, Severiano Ballesteros and Dave Thomas infused each hole with the best of their experience and managed to make the most out of every valley and hillside.

3. Customer service

4. Hotel infrastructure

Guests are the lifeblood of the course and hotels... meaning staff who work there have been carefully trained to assist golfers with spot-on professionalism just as it should be.

The efforts made to keep Tenerife a top holiday destination have certainly paid off and the island enjoys one of the most modern selections of 4- and 5-star hotels in Spain and Europe. In addition to this, there is direct access to the course from many of these hotels - a luxury for any golfer.

Nine courses, nine reasons 5. The pleasant 6. International airports atmosphere Why do the locals always seem to be in a good mood? 50% is in the genes and the other 50% could possibly be down to the climate. Smiling comes naturally to people who live on the island and playing golf helped by friendly staff makes it all the more fun and pleasant.

Tenerife Golf | www.webtenerife.com/golf

Maps should be drawn based on how long it takes to get to places. Tenerife has two international airports with two to four hours’ flying time to Europe’s main cities (there are flights to nearly 150 cities).

7. Destination services

8. Safety

9. Tenerife, the holiday destination

You can hire clubs (or get them repaired if there is an incident), trolleys, transport to the course and anything else you may need for a full-service stay on Tenerife.

Tenerife is a Spanish region and thus a member of the European Union which ensures the highest safety standards: individual safety and healthcare at the same standard as anywhere in Europe, alongside a mild, calm climate with no risks or unpleasant surprises.

Since golf never takes up 100% of your time, you will be able to enjoy the rest of the island. From the local cuisine and Michelin-starred restaurants to beaches, shopping centres, world heritage cities, the Teide or dolphin and whale spotting. Golf and Tenerife - what we could term â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;the perfect matchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Golf can be even more magical Do you long to be able to play a round in good weather throughout the year? Golfing amateurs and professionals take refuge in Tenerife every year thanks to its warm winters and gentle bright summer days. Visitors come to the island and discover the secret lies with an average annual temperature of 23ÂşC.

Although if you are a golfer, the top reason without doubt drawing you to the island is its eight exclusive golf courses, in addition to the Tecina course on the island of La Gomera (lying just a half hour boat ride away).

Each course is uniquely original thanks to its location and design, top-quality services, mythical views and the welcoming atmosphere awaiting you there. Not to mention the picture perfect sunsets - the kind you wish could last forever.

Designer Courses Tenerife’s courses have been designed by golfing greats such as Donald Steel or Severiano Ballesteros. They frequently host all kinds of European championships and tournaments such as the Men’s and Ladies’ Spanish Open which welcome both national and international stars. If you are wondering what lies behind this success, the answer is diversity. One day you can play on mountain courses 700 metres high and the next, on the coast, at the foot of cliffs or on sandy or rocky coves. The freedom to choose is most welcome as it

means you can continually experience something different and new, and that little bug is what makes you come back to island time and time again. The ocean is a star attraction at most of Tenerife’s courses. Lots of greens are located on the shore itself, making for a spectacular backdrop! Can you imagine the amazing mix of colours with the green course, deep blue water and white caps of the waves? The mere fact of hitting the ball whilst listening to the gentle rolling of the ocean makes it a worthwhile sensation to explore.

A stage for great tournaments Tenerife is an expert in hosting national and international golf tournaments, something it has been doing since 1964 when it welcomed the Spanish International Open Championship, known today as the Open de España Masculino, at the Real Club de Golf de Tenerife. Since that first Spanish Open, four Tenerife Opens have been held: 1989, 1990, 1992 and 1994, two Canary Island Opens: 1993 and 2005, and a Spanish Open: 2005, all on the European Men’s Tour.

Real Club de Golf de Tenerife

For almost a decade, from 2002 and 2010, Tenerife has been the host of the prestigious Tenerife Ladies Open, welcoming the best players on the Ladies European Tour. The Tenerife Ladies Match Play was held in 2011 and in recent years, 2012 and 2014, we have been the benchmark in World Ladies Golf thanks to the Tenerife Open de España. The Fred Olsen Challenge de España has been held for the last six years running (2009-2014) at Tecina Golf (La Gomera), a member course of Tenerife Golf. The tournament is played on the European Men’s Satellite Tour.

The Salme’s Cup, the charity golf tournament known as ‘the place where dreams come true’ and deemed to be the most fun tournament in the world, and the DISA Professional Women’s Championship of Spain chose the island to host their 2013 and 2014 editions. In addition to these renowned tournaments, Tenerife is the setting throughout the tournament season that keeps the lifeblood of amateur golf pumping with, for example, the Abama Pro-Am International, now it is fifth year, and the Tenerife Golf Tour that is held over summer at the island’s courses.

Great national and international tournaments

The full experience The fairways and greens on the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s courses are meticulously manicured. The surrounding gardens are beautiful, filled with palm trees, giant cacti, spurges or pine trees. Wandering around, you will come across all types of birds (ducks, coots, ospreys) and enjoy the carps that swim in the lakes. The truth is youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be captivated by the lush vegetation and variety of animal life. If you then

happen to glance up at the clear blue sky, you will surely want to stay and play golf here forever. Beyond the beauty, the key is feeling comfortable and treated well - something the island can guarantee. People smiling at you, treating you nicely when you get to the course, putting your name on your buggy or loading up your clubs are little things that all add to make it a resounding experience.

Buenavista Golf

What about later? What about when you’re not on the fairway? What if you come with a partner who isn’t a golf lover? What to do... The island has dozens of spas where you can relax; hundreds of boutiques and department stores for strolling around, window-shopping and splashing out. We’ll be honest with you: sometimes it is hard to choose just one of the cultural offerings waiting to be enjoyed

every day. Some even think it a sin to not find time to head into the island’s wild volcanic nature spots.

specialised services for before, during and after a game that live up to, and even surpass, your expectations.

Then, of course, there’s accommodation. The selection of 4- and 5-star hotels on Tenerife is (probably) the most modern in Europe. Many establishments have been meticulously designed to meet golfers’ requirements. They offer

This is what makes you dream about your golfing trip when you get back home and we are not exaggerating when we say that you’ll be counting the days to your return. It’s what usually happens!

Vincci Selección Buenavista Golf & Spa This hotel is located in an almost untouched area of Tenerife, alongside the Teno mountain range in the northwest of the island. It’s hard to decide if the best thing here is the five-star facilities, service and professional staff, colonial architecture, the innately tran-

quil setting or the views. It may well be all of them combined that makes it a unique place. The Buenavista Golf hotel and course are completely blended meaning golfers could wish for nothing better for their golf and rest days.

La Gomera

Hotel Jardín Tecina First-time visitors are likely to be electrified by the priceless views over the ocean and towards Tenerife, although there are many more equally mind-blowing attractions. This complex is located on La Gomera in a 70,000 square metre landscaped orchard where the architecture blends seamlessly into the nat-

ural setting. Designed in an attractive bungalow style, the rooms and suites induce a sense of relaxation, increased by the subtle addition of birdsong and the gentle murmur of the ocean. Golfers can’t help but fall for the 18-hole course.

With average temperatures of 20ºC in winter, 25ºC in summer and 300 days of sun per year, the best thing is to bring beachwear and sun cream, comfortable cotton clothing, a jumper or two and a jacket in winter, always depending on the altitude of the area you’re visiting. Bear in

mind that different altitudes and the trade winds create microclimates, so sometimes temperatures can vary considerably in just a few short miles.
