Golf Del Sur Holidays

Golden sunshine all year round, volcanic scenery and fairways with stunning Atlantic views: Golf del Sur, Tenerife is the island's laidback golf-and-chill corner of the south coast.

✨ Highlights of your Golf del Sur holidays 2026/2027

• Two championship courses, not one. Golf del Sur, Tenerife is built around 27 holes designed by Pepe Gancedo and the opening holes playing towards Montaña Roja. Amarilla Golf sits next door with another 18.

• Winter that is actually warm. 22°C in January, blue skies and almost no rain, on the same clock as home.

• A coast path instead of a coach. A stone-paved seafront promenade runs 3km east to the fishing village of Los Abrigos, about half an hour on foot, and west past Amarilla Golf towards Costa del Silencio in around an hour.

• Quiet beaches, ten minutes from the plane. Black-sand coves at San Blas and Los Abrigos, then La Tejita and El Médano for the wide sandy ones.

• The rest of the island on tap. Mount Teide, Siam Park and the nightlife of Playa de las Americas are all reachable in less than half an hour.

Good to Know for your Golf del Sur holiday

• ☀️ Weather - Golf del Sur weather runs warm all year: 22°C in January, 29°C in August, and around 2,870 hours of sunshine. The sea sits between 19°C in late winter and 24°C in September.

• 💰 Money - The euro. Green fees aside, for the quality of the course, this is one of the cheaper golf destinations in Europe.

• 🏖 Fun fact - The bunkers here are filled with black volcanic sand.

Golf del Sur holidays are all about the coast and the course

Golf del Sur sits on Tenerife's south coast. This purpose-built resort is absolutely paradise for serious golfers, with world-class courses designed by legends, luxury accommodation that understands what golf holidays should be about, and that refined atmosphere where nobody judges you for checking your scorecard more often than your whatsapp!

The resort sits on a coastline with stunning ocean views, volcanic landscapes, and those perfect Canarian weather conditions that mean you can play golf literally every day of the year. Plus, you're close enough to the other south coast resorts that if you fancy a different kind of club one evening 💃, Playa de las Americas is just round the corner.

Golf del Sur is perfect for you if...

• You want golf holidays in Tenerife where the first tee is a walk from your room, not a drive.

• You would rather play somewhere with the sea on one side and a volcano on the other than another flat parkland course at home.

• You want a Golf del Sur beach day between rounds without a resort strip attached to it.

• You like the idea of walking to dinner in a fishing village along the seafront, and getting a taxi back.

• You are travelling with someone who does not play, and needs the island to be interesting on its own.

Golf holidays in Tenerife: two championship courses that will test every club in your bag

Golf del Sur is the centre of Tenerife golf, and it has two courses rather than the one most people arrive expecting.

Golf del Sur Golf Club is 27 holes designed by Pepe Gancedo, laid out as three nines: Links, North and South. The bunkers are filled with black volcanic sand, which looks extraordinary against the greens and concentrates the mind considerably once you are in one. The opening holes on Links and North play towards Montaña Roja, the red rock that juts into the sea along the coast, which is the shot everyone photographs and very few par.

It is technically demanding and fair with it, and the tee options genuinely do stretch from enthusiastic beginner to scratch.

Amarilla Golf & Country Club is the other one, next door in the same municipality, an 18-hole clifftop course with a separate character and its own following. Between the two you can play a week of Tenerife golf without repeating a nine, and several hotels here sit within walking distance of both.
