    The Best Golf Courses in Tenerife

    Based on client feedback and our own expert’s knowledge, here is a list of our picks for the best golf courses in Tenerife…

    Par: 72 | Designed By: Jose “Pepe” Gancedo | Length: 6203m

    Costa Adeje is easily one of Tenerife’s best courses, designed by the talented Spanish golf architect Pepe Gancedo who made beautiful use of the natural terrain, and a number of old agricultural stone walls, to create this absolute gem.

    Signature Hole: 7th

    This par-3 hole measures at 187 yards, but not only do you have its relatively longer length to tackle. In order to reach the green, you have to make a shot across a “barranca”, or gorge. Understandably, this hole has been assigned a stroke index 1 on the score card.

    Comment From Our Expert:

    “Arguably the most popular golf course in Tenerife, as it is very close to the island’s main resorts. It is a very pretty course and will provide a challenge to any golfer.” – Nick Mulgrew

    This course sits up high on the cliff tops overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the Teno mountain range, offering spectacular views all throughout your round. With many of its holes lining the coast line, players will be offered a challenging yet unforgettable round at this golf course in Tenerife.

    Signature Hole: 15th & 10th

    The par-3, 15th hole features a challenging shot, high above the ocean, over a cliff edge. The 10th hole has a tricky shot off of the tee, down a narrow fairway but both holes will provide excellent views!

    Expert Comment:

    “Buenavista has a classic Seve Ballesteros Design, with awesome coastal and mountain views it is one of the most picturesque courses. Though it is a challenge, it’s certainly worth it just for the views alone!” – Matt Standley

    Designed by the famous, Donald Steel, the Tecina golf makes the perfect course for a magical getaway to the Canary Islands, and creates a unique golfing experience you are sure to remember.

    Signature Hole: 4th & 10th

    The par-3, 4th hole is a challenging feat consisting of a unique hazard… a ravine! The Par-4, 10th hole is another noteable one at this course, split across three levels and requiring a tricky approach shot.

    Comment From Our Expert:

    “Tecina is visually STUNNING. It is situated on the island of La Gomera, and is its only golf course. It has a unique layout that begins up high and is then split across multiple levels going down to the last hole, offering brilliant views all throughout.” – Nick Mulgrew

    Golf Las Americas is a fantastic course covering 90 hectares of land, and is nestled in the heart of the key tourist area of Playa de Las Americas.

With panoramic views of the coastline and mountains throughout, you are sure to have a memorable round here.

    Signature Hole: 5th & 18th

    The par-3 5th hole is set against a beautiful oceanic backdrop with a water hazard guarding the green, making it blend seamlessly into its surroundings. The par-4, 18th hole also deserves a mention for its dramatic flare, a large lake will surround your approach shot so lets hope you don’t go out with a splash!

    Comment From Our Expert:

    “Another very popular course in Tenerife as it is situated on site to the Hotel Las Madrigueras and offers guests great convenience. Guests will also benefit from preferential tee times in the mornings. It is also very close to Playa Las Americas, as the name suggests.” – Nick Mulgrew

    Abama Golf Course is an outstanding 18-hole championship golf course, offering picturesque views of the Atlantic Ocean from every hole. Known for being one of the toughest courses in the entirety of Spain, architect, Dave Thomas, did an excellent job at ensuring this became one of the best golf courses in Tenerife. Widely recognised for its beauty and the challenge it bears, it comes as no surprise that this course has been labelled the ‘’Augusta of Europe’’, and is undoubtedly a must-play on your next venture into Tenerife.

    Signature Hole: 10th & 17th

    The scenic, par-5 10th hole offers wide sweeping views of the ocean, and a less enjoyable tricky approach shot! The par-3 17th hole demands accuracy and precision with its downhill approach to the green and the lake guarding it!

    Comment From Our Expert:

    “Abama is the championship course of Tenerife, which honestly speaks for itself. It has been recently renovated (as of May 2025), and has some of the fastest greens in the Canary Islands. It is a tough course and buggies are definitely necessary!” – Nick Mulgrew

    As the only 27-hole championship course in Tenerife, made up of three loops of 9-holes, the Golf del Sur is definitely a course to add to your itinerary. Featuring many memorable holes, creating an unforgettable round, the design of this course provides players with variety, and the ability to customise the game to your preferences. The loops are all gently undulating and easily walkable, so a buggy may not always be necessary.
