Description

First opened in 1987, with a professional tournament, the Golf del Sur Golf Course (27 holes) has hosted since then many competitions at the highest international level. During the years 1989, 1992, 1993 and 1994 it hosted the Tenerife Open, belonging to the PGA European Volvo Tour, with victories of José Maria Olazábal in its first two editions and of David Gilford and Mark James, in the following years. In 1995, at Golf del Sur took place the Shell Wonderful World of Golf Tournament, where they confronted each other Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson. Golf del Sur, was projected by Pepe Gancedo in the beginning and remodelled in 2005 by Manuel Piñero. The course offers very interesting rounds where your attention will be caught by the volcanic black sand bunkers, the huge greens the wide fairways and the difficulty created by the two water hazards on the 3, 4 and 5 holes of the Links Course. Very difficult is hole 3 with par 5 and 480 metres on the North course. Its wide and wave fairways are bordered on its right by an impressive canyon of ochre rock and on the left by wide sand roughs. The access to green will need a shot of high precision due to the bunkers position. Hole 5, par 4 and 330 metres, on the Links course stands out after its Tee is placed on top of a mountain with views to the Ocean; difficulty : out of bounds too near to the Fairway and hazard on boths sides. The wide fairways are surrounded by a great variety of native flora making this 800.000 m2 plot of land a real oasis at the Atlantic Ocean. Palms Trees and Giant Cactus are all around the course, where special attention is paid to the conservation of its flora and fauna.
