Amarilla
Golf
On the southern coast of Tenerife,
just bordering the sea, we find the Amarilla Golf and Country
Club. The character of the 18-hole course is marked by the incredible
views of the Atlantic Ocean which, without a doubt, inspired golf
architect Donald Steel. The Golf course, surrounded by barrancos
and a residential development, provides a stern challenge for
the professional golfer while, at the same time, offers and attractive
and enjoyable game for those of a more modest ability. It was
inaugurated in 1989, and one year later Amarilla Golf hosted the
second edition of the Tenerife Open, which is part of the European
P.G.A Tour.
From the first tee, the player discovers he spectacular
ocean views. Following on to the 2nd, 3rd and 4th holes that are
surrounded by a broad variety of typical canarian flora, enormous
Cannas Indicas, the beautiful Washington Palms and the very exclusive
Canarian Pines. The most impressive part of the round reaches
its peak at the 5th hole: This is truly a gem for golf lovers,
where the sea becomes a fairway, making it necessary to cross
it in order to reach the green.
The following holes leave the coast momentarily,
in order to enjoy other panoramic views including a range of mountains,
crowned by the majestic Mt. Teide. The game continues, returning
once again to the seaside on the 12th hole, accompanied by a nice
cool ocean breeze. Following on after the next three holes, the
course allows for a break at the welcoming Pro Shop terrace, where
one can take a short break before tackling the most final stretch.
The last three holes are characterised by their large bunkers,
boarded by volcanic sand, and the presence of the neighbouring
golf course, Golf del Sur, making San Miguel the county with the
most golf holes on the island.
Amarilla Golf also offers the recently inaugurated
Pitch and Putt, 9 holes par 27, only 20 meters away from the Pro
Shop. Other facilities include driving range, putting green, equestrian
centre and Club House, which in itself, includes tennis court,
swimming pool, bar and restaurant with views of the ocean and
the Golf course.
How to get there
From the airports head towards Playa de las Américas on
the Autopista de Tenerife T-1. Take exit 24 in the direction of
the sea, cross the highway and follow the first turn off to the
right.
