Amarilla Golf - Tenerife

Amarilla Golf is the little brother/sister (are golf courses considered male or female?!) to the 27-hole Golf del Sur. Both are on the southern coast around 10-minutes drive from the main resorts of Playa de las Americas and Los Cristianos. This 18-hole course is characterised by it's ocean-side setting and views of the new San Miguel Marina. There can't be many prettier vistas where you can swing a club - except in Hawaii, but that's a long way away, over there somewhere... anyway, Amarilla Golf also has a cute little Pitch & Putt, a 9-hole alternative, driving range, putting green and all the other services and facilities you'd associate with a top class golf club, like golf academy, club rental, bar, and those neat little buggies you can tear around in.

We won't bore you with detailed descriptions of every lump, bump and sand trap for each hole - you can get that from their website - but all we will do is recommend the course for a fine round in the sun any time of the year. It's open from 7.30 in the morning till 8.30 at night. Fees range from €35 for 9-holes, €55 for 18 in the low season (April thru September) and €49 for 9-holes, €80 for 18 from start of October till the end of March. Oh, and you need to have a handicap to play - so no sod-hackers please.
