“Our Golfers enjoy a unique natural environment and spectacular sea and mountain views from any point of the course.
Its wide streets stand out with their terraces and stone walls, which the designer Pepe Gancedo knew how to integrate when he adapted this former banana plantation to the current layout of the golf course. The white sand bunkers contribute to achieve a perfect visual harmony for any golfer.”
The land originally a banana plantation, which also cover the majority of the island of Tenerife are set up in a tiering system which can still be seen in areas of the layout of the course. Some of the fairways have this tiering system visible where a section of fairway sits just a couple of feet above the section below it so be careful if you are driving a buggy these steep little steps are not easily visible. It is like a set of stairs; each section of fairway is a step below each other as you get closer to the green. The golf course itself like many courses in Tenerife are very fair to play and are not too punishing especially if you choose the right tee box to play from. For the golfer who often frequent a water hazard you will be delighted to know this course has no water hazards throughout. The back tees are only 6,255 long so this would not be considered the longest course but the holes that play uphill, do play a lot longer than the yardage would suggest.
One of the coolest aspects of Costa Adeje is it unusually has six Par 5′, Par 4’s and Par 3’s in its layout so it is a first for me to play a golf course with as many Par 3’s and Par 5’s combined. So, there are a lot of birdie chances available with six Par 5’s in particular and for me even from the back tees I was hitting short and mid irons into some of the Par 5’s the played over five hundred yards but played downhill. Whereas I just managed to reach the first in two and it plays under five hundred yards but it played gradually uphill all the way to the green’s location.
My favourite aspect of Costa Adeje was playing so many fun Par 5’s in one round. Between the six of them in total I ended up with six eagle putts which is a rare opportunity on a golf course but it actually added to the holiday fun of playing golf abroad. Maybe it was because I briefly felt like a tour pro for a few hours but I do have to admit this course does give you a sense of joy and fun throughout your round.
They also have an extensive area designated for their driving range, with a two-tiered platform to hit from, including two putting greens, a chipping green and practice bunkers. The practice facilities are fantastic around the courses on the island so make sure so use them before your round or even after your round, especially if you need to fix any swing issues you might have been experiencing. These facilities are state of the art so why not use them while you have access to them, while it is included in your green fees.
In the Restaurant area, we can find different atmospheres, from a modern Bar, the dining area with indoor and outdoor spaces for the celebration of events and an exquisite Buffet service, with terrace, open to the public every day, ideal to enjoy an excellent lunch with magnificent views. I have to say in all my experiences of dining at the golf courses in Tenerife they never disappoint. Delicious wholesome food with amazing outdoor scenic views it is hard to beat, all while basking in an average temperature of 24°.
As well as their Championship course they have a shorter nine-hole Par 33 course on site. This course is located next to the driving range, the Los Lagos course is the ideal place for golfers with a higher handicap, seniors who don’t want to play 18 and novice golfers. The course owes its name to the 6 magnificent lakes that are integrated within. The reception of Los Lagos is located in an original wooden house, with a pleasant family atmosphere, equipped with all the necessary services, such as shop, rental of clubs, buggies, snack bar and parking area.
