Los Lagos occupies the lower slopes of Golf Costa Adeje's hillside property in southwestern Tenerife, designed by Spanish architect Pepe Gancedo and opened in the late 1990s. The course takes its name—"The Lakes"—from the water features that define several holes across the layout, a signature element in Gancedo's work throughout the Canary Islands. The routing moves through relatively gentle terrain compared to the more dramatic elevation changes found on the property's companion course, with fairways carved through subtropical vegetation and framed by views toward the Atlantic coastline.
The design emphasizes strategic shot-making around the lakes and streams that come into play, particularly on the closing stretch where water hazards guard greens and create risk-reward decisions on approach shots. Gancedo incorporated the natural barranco features—volcanic ravines characteristic of Tenerife's landscape—into several holes, adding both visual drama and strategic complexity. The course sits within the resort development of Costa Adeje, a major tourist destination on Tenerife's southern coast known for its year-round mild climate and concentration of golf facilities.
Los Lagos serves primarily visiting golfers drawn to the island's winter golf season, when northern European weather makes the Canaries particularly attractive. The layout offers a more accessible complement to steeper mountain courses elsewhere on Tenerife, with conditioning and playability suited to resort play while maintaining enough strategic interest through its water features and green complexes to challenge better players.
