| Costa
Adeje
Just 5 kilometers from Playa de las
Americas, Golf Costa Adeje was created with the ambition of becoming
the most important leisure development in the Canary Islands.
This excellent 27 holes of course opened in 1998
and has rapidly become one the most popular courses in Tenerife.
Designed by the internationally renowned architect Pepe Gancedo
the layout is characteristic of his drawing board, "hand-built"
he says, adapting itself to the natural terrain and the restored
stone walls from former agricultural terracing. The views from
the course take in the island of La Gomera, the mountain range
of Adeje, Playa de la Americas and the sea.
The greens are generally large and there are a
number of doglegs. The round begins with a long par five (510m)
and bunkers wait to catch stray balls off the tee. The 2nd is
short with a ravine to the right and a green formed on two levels
makes it more difficult when the flag is placed at the back. The
fourth follows a gentle slope downhill towards the sea and is
crossed a regular intervals by the step-like stone walls of the
former banana plantation. There are two greens, one directly in
front with the sea beyond and the other closer to the tee on the
right.
To
get from the main course to the driving range and the golf school,
there is an elevator to take players and even buggies down through
the natural rock.
The 14th is an uphill par three and it is necessary to attack
the green which is protected by a deep bunker in front, and the
18th is a spectacular finishing hole, also a par 5, where the
downhill aspect makes the green more accessible in two, although
those wanting to be sure to avoid the trouble generally settle
for three strokes
It is also important to mention the recently opened Restaurante
Cinco Olivos in the Casa Club de Costa Adeje, whose kitchen combines
the tastes of France, the Caribbean and the Mediteranean and provides
an endless selection of wines and an impeccable service.
Opening time: 11:00 - 17:00 hours from Tuesday to Sunday
