Ever since its 1987 inaugural event,
a competition for professionals, the 27 greens and fairways
of Golf del Sur on Tenerife have
provided the backdrop for various top international tournaments.
In 1989 they bore witness to José Maria
Olazábal’s victory in the Open de Tenerife,
a feat he repeated in 1992. The following year they watched
as David Gilford won the event, as did Mark James in ‘94.
In 1995, Golf del Sur (Tenerife) hosted the Shell Wonderful
World of Golf tournament and its head-to-head battle
between Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson.

Golf del Suron Tenerife has also been
the setting for two golf driving distance records, both of
which were set by Britains Karl Woodward. First he set a new
record of 398 yards and then, a few months later, he managed
to break the legendary 400-yard barrier with a huge stroke
which sent the ball flying 408 yards.
Golf
Courses on Tenerife
This Tenerife golf course,
designed by Pepe Gancedo, is a thoroughly enjoyable layout
in which one’s attention is immediately caught
by the black volcanic sand in the bunkers. The wide fairways
are lined with such a wide variety of indigenous plants
that, with its palm trees and giant cactus plants, this
800 square-metre course beside the Atlantic Ocean is
like a veritable oasis. Particularly difficult is the
3rd hole of the north course. To the right of the wide
fairway is a water hazard, behind which lies an impressive
ravine with an ochre-coloured rockface, while to the
left is a gaping bunker of black sand.Reduced Golf Green
Fees on Tenerife
Another notable hole is the 2nd of the southern course,
a par 3 of 193 metres whose green is surrounded by another
immense bunker of black sand. The club offers a golf
school as well as practice facilities, a tennis court,
lawn bowls green, bar-restaurant and pro shop. Golf del
Sur offers special rates to guest using the private owner's
golf apartments on Tenerife's Ocean Golf and Country Club.
Golf Apartment
Rentals
For the serious golfer, rental
of a private apartment on the golf course itself is the
ideal approach. A party of four can rent a two bedroom,
two bathroom apartment equipped to the highest standards
for as little as £100
per person per week. Apart from the unashamed luxury
of our Ocean Golf and Country Club apartment,
time is not wasted driving to and from the golf course
and users benefit from dramatically reduced green fees.
