New month, new challenge at Golf Costa Adeje

It’s not just the weather that’s hotting up in Tenerife, the Tenerife and La Gomera golf circuit moves on to round 5 at Golf Costa Adeje on Saturday August 1st. Tenerife is on alert for extreme temperatures but this excellent 27 hole course, built in 1998, will look green and lush as ever, due to careful management, and liberal use of water from environmentally friendly re-usable sources.
It’s what you would expect from a course that has regenerated an area of old farmed out banana plantations. The course makes good use of the natural terraces and traditional stone walls, and sprinkles in a daunting selection of lakes and craters to test even the best golfers.
The views of the Adeje mountains, and the Atlantic, are impressive, a wonderful setting that has attracted many top tournaments such as the 2003 Spanish Open, and later this year will host the Tenerife Ladies Open, from September 24 to 27. But on Saturday, it will be a mixed field as the men and ladies go all out to set a scorching pace.

Buenavista Golf, ready to shine

The third annual Circuit of Golf for Tenerife and La Gomera is so much more than a sporting feast, it’s also a chance to appreciate the individual charms of the 7 courses that make up the 2009 event. Buenavista Golf, is the venue on Saturday 4 July and it will showcase the natural rugged beauty of the north west of Tenerife.

This par 72 course has a dramatic backdrop of cliffs and mountains and a jagged coast carved out by the power of the Atlantic ocean. The 18 holes are evenly split between par 3, 4 and 5, and 5 of the greens hug the coast. It’s going to be another challenging day, but with the 2 opening events setting a high standard, everyone will be out to beat their own personal best.

Tecina Golf, La Gomera, the second round beckons

The standard has been set at a high level, now the Tenerife-La Gomera Circuit moves on to Tecina Golf in Playa de Santiago, La Gomera on Saturday 13 June. The first round of the 2009 circuit proved to be a great success, not only on the immaculate greens of Golf Las Americas, but also at the stylish presentation evening afterwards.

It’s just a short 40 minute crossing by Fred Olsen ferry to the beautiful island of La Gomera, and it’s 18 hole, par 71 course, set on a cliff top. The course was designed by Donald Steel, and has great views across the Atlantic to Tenerife, and inland over the Tecina valley. It’s a tough challenging course, particularly at 2 of its toughest holes. The 4th hole is a par 3 that flights the ball 169 metres over the Tapahuga ravine, the 10th is another stern test, this time over 337 metres from a tee that is 45 metres above the green level.

Both male and female competitors will find plenty to enjoy on their trip to this lush green island, and the golf will provide them with a fitting challenge to mind and body.
