About this course

Golf del Sur's Norte course occupies terrain on the southern coast of Tenerife, part of a larger resort complex that has served the island's golf tourism since the late 1980s. The course was designed by Manuel Piñero, a Spanish Ryder Cup player who turned to course architecture after his competitive career, working alongside Pepe Gancedo, an established designer with numerous layouts across Spain and the Canary Islands. The collaboration reflects a period when Spanish professionals increasingly shaped golf development in their home regions. The routing takes advantage of the volcanic landscape characteristic of Tenerife's southern coast, where the terrain offers both elevation change and views toward the Atlantic. The climate here is notably dry and sunny compared to the island's northern slopes, with steady trade winds that influence play throughout the year. The design incorporates the natural contours of the land, and the course sits within a broader resort environment that includes residential development and tourist amenities typical of Canarian golf properties. Golf del Sur operates multiple courses on the property, and Norte functions as one component of the facility's overall offering. The layout serves both visiting golfers drawn to Tenerife's year-round playing conditions and local members. The course reflects the practical design sensibilities of its era, balancing challenge with accessibility for a resort clientele while working within the constraints and opportunities of the volcanic topography.

Getting there

Golf del Sur is reached most conveniently via Tenerife South Airport (TFS), Spain's busiest gateway to the Canary Islands, situated roughly forty-five minutes' drive south along the island's sun-baked coastal highway toward the southern tip of Tenerife. The final approach winds through the arid, volcanic landscape characteristic of the archipelago's southern reaches, where the terrain shifts from developed resort corridors into the quieter, more exclusive enclave of Oasis del Sur. Here, nestled within a private residential and golf community, Golf del Sur emerges as a sanctuary of manicured fairways and championship design set against the stark beauty of Canarian volcanic rock and distant ocean vistas - a serene counterpoint to the journey's initial bustle, and a fitting arrival for those seeking both accessibility and seclusion in one of Europe's premier year-round golf destinations.
