Amarilla Golf & Country Club

There is no handicap limit. Therfore a lot pf people with less experience. very slow I wouldn't play again this course

Staff good and helpful, tee to green good, green were lightning fast, kind of spoilt it a bit. really hard conditions, really windy.

It was a little scrappy in places but well worth playing

Really like this course which was in great condition. It has a couple of fun “signature holes” right by the sea. We had the pleasure of playing with an 84 year old Scot who regularly “plays his age”. Inspiring!

Staff very helpful with out of their way to facilitate us

Decent course with good facilities

Enjoyable

We were told on arrival that our there time had been booked but not paid for, this was very frustrating and after waiting for YGT offices to open and several phone calls we eventually managed to tee off. The course itself was fantastic.

Lovely course, great condition, pro shop nice, food in restaurant area lovely, highly recommend.

Construction being carried out around the course, but in the main everything was okay.

It took time to get used to fast greens.

Course was great, hard but fair, it sure if they are working on holes 1-3 as they seemed quite new holes and we actually started on the 4th hole without any starter telling us otherwise. We corrected that on the 2nd round and started from the correct hole, having a starter would definitely help and also direct guests to the correct starting spot. Apart from that no complaints.

Good course Worth the money

At the present time you start on the 4th hole! We didn't realise that until we came to the 1st and the 2nd that it was not just maintenance work but complete hole restoration! There was 5% grass covering until you reached the green, these 2 holes should not be open for play - absolute joke.

Unreal golf course, shame about how many people they try and squeeze on so lots of hanging around

The course and set up was good , but it was very windy on the day and that made the course almost unplayable at times. A real tough round of golf but still enjoyed the warm sunshine !

Good starter course for the vacation, beautiful scenary but not very well protected from nature - you’re in for a battle with the wind.

Course was in great condition and greens were excellent. Disappointed that we had to start at the 4th, which led to some confusion on finding the 1st tee when at this stage. No signage and not mentioned by any of the staff. Overall welcome before and after the round was poor.

There should have been a marshal at the start & hurry people up around the course. 5hr round is too long!

Super fast greens in great condition. Tees a bit worn. Non golfers a hazard on some holes and some long walks between tees, buggy recommended.

The course was ok, pity that there was so much building work taking place as it spoilt the experience of playing. Loads of trucks and noise from overhead planes landing as the course is very close to the airport runway.

Excellent greens!

Some of the Tees were a bit ruff, but generally in good condition with good facilities

This was a slow round, fairways were bare and being treated, greens average.

We booked this trip late so given we wanted early afternoon tee times we ended up playing at what we knew were the slightly lower ranked courses on the South of the Island. In terms of the course it was pretty open in the main and some lovely views as you would expect given its by the sea. Some great looking holes right down by the sea. The greens were decent enough given the course is packed from dawn to dusk most days and the fairways were generally good although in places some large areas were bare. The course layout was a little all over the place with some long distances between green and next tee in places - buggies certainly helpful especially if weather were hot. The big downside is pace of play. Reviews had warned us it was slow and they were not wrong. The course send groups off every 8 minutes and its rammed. Given this is a cheap course it clearly has some very average golfers and this adds to the slowness. Our front nine took just over 3 hours! Thankfully a few groups must have walked off and the back nine was marginally better at 2.5 hours but still waiting on nearly every tee.

The quickest greens I've ever played on. A nice course to play not too difficult.

Really enjoyed this course and was made very challenging on the second day due to very strong winds. will definitely go back. Unfortunately play was very slow and on the second time we played there we had an issue with our transport. We came off the course 18 minutes after our scheduled pick up time. When the transport did not turn up we asked the reception to phone the company. He was told that the transport had arrived at the scheduled time waited 15 minutes and then left and would not come back. The reception stated that drivers usually check in with him to see where players are on the course but that nobody had come in to check. He advised us to get a taxi and to claim the cost back from yourselves.

Enjoyable round of golf with some excellent holes. Provided a varied challenge and required all the clubs in the bag. Definitely a buggy course as some long walks between holes. Fairways were 3/5 and greens were 4/5. Practice facilities are all available and range balls included in the price. Practice facilities are a bit tired.

The course was great with large greens that were hard to read initially with slight undulations for a great experience. A good all round course for all handicap golfers.

Great course the 2 par 3's over the water are great

challenging and tight fairways. Cross winds . Lightning fast greens so you had to be careful😅

Great course not as nice as Adeje but very enjoyable course

The course was having a lot of work done to it the second time we played it took over 5 hours

Bit of building work going on around surrounding area, which i presume was out of the clubs hands, but just made some parts of the course look tatty, however the course was in quite good condition.

Could do with starter and better marshalling

condition of the course and facilities not the best but ok, especially when compared to the other courses we played. noticeable drop in standard.

A lot of money being spent which is much needed. If you didn’t hit the fairway you were in red stake area on virtually every hole - very tight course

Little Gem great service too. Some spectacular holes and definitely glad we played it.

The wind made the course difficult. Some of the views were spectacular.

Good course. Greens scarily fast. Staff and facilities good. Shame the weather was mixed

Great golf course with excellent facilities, We had an issue with the booking they only had 12 golfers instead of 16 but rectified the problem, also buggies were included

A long course given the distance from green to tee on some holes. A lot of construction going on alongside the course - a bit of a building site in places.

An odd course with groups of holes intersected by roads and apartments. A bit hit and miss. Some very nice holes. Greens were very fast. Clubhouse small and basic but welcoming.

A Course/Club requiring ‘investment’. Facilities generally rundown with many areas lacking evidence of care. I would not come back to play here

Playing on February 15-20mph windy, sunny, dry weather, occasional waiting, but generally a delightful experience and round of golf.

Good course for couples. Nice views especially out to sea if you ignore all the construction. Greens and fairways in good condition. Good bar and restaurant facilities with lovely views. Asked for vouchers which YGT did not provide. Luckily we took our paperwork which they photocopied.

The views of the coast are lovely and the course itself has some interesting holes but speed of play is a real issue when there is no starter or marshalls. One of our rounds here was 5 hours and we waited on every shot. The other was must better. There isn't enough time between games hence the hold ups.

No starter so slow staff not great

Our favourite course of the week and one we will definitely visit again next year

Planes going over, obviously, not a bad course, would not go back there.

Decent course although nothing mind blowing.. amazing 8th hole stands out in the memory

Much better condition than Golf de sur. Pretty ,great views,

Cheap buggies at 20 euros

Best greens all week! This is the first time we've played here due to comments from previous visitors. If you ignore some of the building work going on and some derelict areas this course is worth a visit. The 1st hole is now over the road and not outside the clubhouse and they were rebuilding the 3rd tee when we played so we had to play off the red tee. Buggies were only 20 euros where others were 40.

lovely golf course with some very interesting holes and some beautiful views.

A strange course very disjointed. The greens were being worked on with the first three holes out of play. We played it three times and enjoyed it. Not one to walk.

Slow

Best course of the 3

Lovely course. 5 hour round was the only downside

Needed Marshall’s. 5hrs but ok

Amarilla is a very enjoyable course with a nice variety of holes and views. We played 2 rounds and the first round was a good a speed but the second was slow, due to the group in front losing 2 holes.

Course has improved since the last time i played there , hole layout has changed and they now have a marina . Enjoyable day however the clubhouse now being used is disappointing in comparison with the original . Worth a visit .

Lovely location and many interesting holes!

Amarilla felt a little more like a members club than some courses in the area. It was mostly in very good condition, but there was a little maintenance/improvement work going on and the impact of overnight rain was evident in a few places. The course was enjoyable and a little quirky, if quite benign because there was no wind at all. We went out early with two Irishmen, one of whom now lived locally, who were great company, and we went round in only 4 hours. Food and drink in the clubhouse afterwards was high quality and very cheap. Great fun!

Quite a difficult course with the friends I was playing with(high handicaps)

Yet again the course was too near the flight path and so noisy.

excellent greens - by far the best You need a buggy here - some long walks without one

Booking errors had us under wrong name and at different tee times from booking. Staff were very helpful and friendly and allowed the requested two 3 balls as well. Round was slow but not as bad as gold del sur. Course generally in good condition

Lovely course with fab views and some great views. Lovely traditional clubhouse, lovely bar. Transfers punctual.

The fairways and greens were in good condition, but the tees were very shabby. Also, nobody's GPS worked correctly, so guess they have changed the layout at some time. The clubhouse was very poor. No changing facilities and very small bar area. The driving range not good. Overall a bit like a local municipal.

Nice welcome and friendly but it showed it was a municipal course.the greens was terrible the semi rough way to long.

Enjoyable

Most fairways had just been hollow tinned. Course was scruffy and not in good condition.

The course was very average and expensive and not good value for money . As a 2 ball we were placed with other Golfers and that was ok . It was an incredibly slow round ( with 4 balls in front of us who were complete beginners . It took just under 3 hours to play 9 holes so we gave up after 9?At one stage there were 4 groups queuing up on one hole . Overall a bad experience and I would not recommend that this course in the future .

This course is memorable for the short par 3 over rocks and sea and walkers ( the scariest shot we’ve ever taken!!!). There was another good par 3 by the water otherwise an unremarkable course but suitable for all handicaps.

Really enjoyed Amarilla but you need to be hitting it pretty straight to get around 'unscathed'. Quite a few tee shots which if you miss left or right result in an immediate lost ball. Overall condition was good but a bit scruffy in places.

Course re numbered so lots of confusion at start. No explanation offered by starter.Worth playing if located in South

Really good 👍

Volume of people playing made it a very slow round. Otherworldly sw Course was good and scenic

Beautiful course beautiful views everything you want when you go abroad

Greens not in great condition and club facilities quite old and a bit shabby

I loved this course! The views were amazing! The course is interesting with a couple of narrow fairways which caught me out on my drives! The views of the sea and the approach to some of the greens are just spectacular. The greens are quick but true so putting is interesting. Loved the course and the views and would highly recommend playing!

The course was good, winds its way around a mixture of houses and scrubland. Greens were good but facilities were limited. People were great and friendly.

Fun

Enjoyed this course however was put out with 3 older foreign players so language was difficult

We would not return or certainly at this time of year. We were supposed to tee off at 12.36 but didn’t tee off until 12.50. It was a harbinger of things to come. Let’s say it was slow. Very slow. Some 5 hrs 5 mins slow. Frankly it was farcical. No marshalling. Nothing. The greens were stupidly quick (I’ve played all over the world and know my greens) and there was GUR everywhere compounded by other barren areas where obviously they couldn’t be bothered sorting it. The slow play, low flying aircraft ( its directly under the airport flight path) and greens just spoiled the whole experience. But the speed of play was just awful. I challenged the reception about this and they could not answer. Their manager came out and said 4 hours is quite average but when I told her about out 5+ hrs she then said that the course was just busy. Hello, yes ..that’s the point. You’re playing too many on the course. We had to play this course again with a morning tee off time. It took 4hrs 15 which was better. I appreciate that post pandemic you have to catch up but this was stretching everything too far. To be fair the staff were very friendly and the coffee was good. Bottom line is we’ll never return.

Check in on a Saturday was chaotic and understaffed. The practice facilities were not adequate…no range balls and no one to assist. The course is exposed (to say the least) so be prepared for very windy conditions. It is also under the flight path! There are some very pretty holes with lots of challenges. Buggy strongly advised.

Need a buggy Decent course with some exciting par 3s beside the sea Some unattractive areas beside the fairway

Course in very good condition - fast greens

Thoroughly enjoyed the course.

Enjoyed course, very picturesque with lots of features. Buggy needed else would take over four and a half hours.

This course has the best variety of holes and some very challenging. The course maintenance leaves a lot to be desired with many bare patches. Tricky greens but enjoyable

Disappointed with the condition of this course (Feb20) bit rough round the edges. Expensive for what it is

Ditto

Really welcoming and helpful staff at the pro shop. Buggy and starter all customer focussed. Practise facilities were good. The course itself was difficult and greens nearly unplayable do to the firmness of the ground.

The course is nice some interesting holes some areas need attention although the greens are very good. Be prepared for some long walks between holes

For me, the best course we played.

Our round was marred by the terrible slowness (5 hours and 15 minutes!) and there didn't seem to be any marshalling. Some lovely views over the sea. Some of the fairways were in poor condition with extensive bare patches but the greens were OK. Nice little pitch and putt course also available.

Enjoyable

Lovely course. Sea views with some interesting holes. Fast greens.

Of the 5 courses we played, this was by far the worse. The fairways were poor with a lot of GUR and the greens had been sanded that morning.

they watered the last 6 holes heavily and covered them in treatment/seaweed as we was playing the round. Greens were good until that point, then they were runied

Very enjoyable and the scenery is fantastic

Very well designed but slightly unloved course, but interesting to play.

The challenge of this course was somewhat wind dependant. On a calm day it was enjoyable and, given a reasonable degree of accuracy off the tee, playable at or around current handicap levels. However, when the wind blows the precision required off the tee becomes quite a challenge; in many places a missed fairway means red hazard and/or an unplayable lie. There is little “rough” in the English sense of the word, but it’s hard to play from bare lies and lava rock! The greens were generally quick with numerous borrows. Clubhouse staff were welcoming and pleasant. The views from the holes by the sea and the marina are beautiful.

We both enjoyed the course, but things were very slow, painfully slow in places, so this impacted our performance a bit. Otherwise not bad.

Definately need a buggy.

Tees, fairways and greens all in good condition but the surrounding areas are not very pleasant with the area being waste ground. Nice outdoor terrace and reasonably priced.The practice area is next to the 1st tee. Given 5 free buggies making a real savings.
