Golf del Sur

The GOLF DEL SUR course in Tenerife, inaugurated in 1987 with a professional tournament, has since been the setting for several competitions of the highest international level. In 1989, 1992, 1993 and 1994 it hosted the Tenerife Open, part of the PGA European Volvo Tour, with victories by José Maria Olazábal in the first two editions and by David Gilford and Mark James in the following years. In 1995, Golf del Sur hosted the Shell Wonderful World of Golf tournament, in which Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson played against each other.

The most difficult hole is hole 3, a par 5 of 480 metres, on the North course. Its wide fairway is flanked on the right by an impressive ochre rock ravine, on the left by wide sand rough and the entrance to the green requires a very precise shot to avoid the bunkers that surround it. On the Links course, hole 5, a par 4 of 330 metres, stands out as its tee is situated on the top of a mountain with spectacular views of the ocean. Difficulty: out of bounds very close to the fairway and hazard on both sides.
