Golf del Sur

Seems to have suffered following the pandemic, slowly recovering. Worth a visit provided you don’t mind playing in possibly windy conditions.

Large amount of course building work was being carried out around the existing the 18 holes. I enjoyed the course which had many diferent holes .

It was a nice day, couldn’t really get into the course, stewarding a bit cold, but ok, exceptionally windy.

Very nice course - well worth playing. Quite difficult

Lovely course but major reconstruction work was going on to replace some of the tees which was a but messy with deviations and lorries to navigate. The practice range was also closed which was disappointing. However the staff were charming and professional which made up for the inconvenience.

Very poor condition under construction. Should not have enforced full green fee. Suggest they refund most of our green fee. Please don’t advise new golfers to play there.

Some major works being carried out, which assetically spoilt the back 9, otherwise made for a good game. It’s right under the airport flight path so very noises!

Decent course, not too difficult and only 5 minutes from the hotel.

Ok golf but far to much rebuilding of course

A lot of blind shots on this course and the greens were in particularly poor condition. Still enjoyable, but difficult when you don’t have a ball spotter.

Very disappointed with the courses this year. We were NOT told by Your Golf Travel of the complete refurbishment of the Front 9 (North Course), it was terrible! We will not be visiting again and felt short changed, the course was almost in playable! Would like a refund? Thank you

Lots of work going on at this course so sometimes difficult to know where we were going to next hole. Will be interesting to see when it’s finished. Greens not in good condition sadly.

Course is currently being redeveloped with significant amounts of construction, a lot of temporary tee boxes. Should not be open to the public.

They are doing full rebuild of course so wasn’t true tee boxes and fair ways aren’t good, they promised us ball markers but never gave us them.

The course is undergoing and extensive remodaling and was in a poor state. This should have been explained as I would not have played it

This course was like a building site 9 holes are going through a major renovation and will probably be very good once finished but I was very disappointed that you are actually using this property most of the other golfers I spoke to this week said exactly the same

A little disappointing as we were put on 2 different 9’s. The first 9 holes was basically a building site with a vast amount of work being done on it. Lots of machinery at work on the course was not the sort of atmosphere we enjoyed. We were not made aware of this or we would have asked to of played a different 9. The other 9 holes we played were enjoyable and also the course was in better shape. Greens were a little beat up but overall ok.

Beautiful course a little bit of maintenance going on but didn’t really affect the golf.

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

First time playing at Golf Del Sur but really enjoyed courses. Everything was well organised with clubs already reserved. Would definitely return in the future and look forward to some of the maintenance around the course being completed by then.

The Golf manager couldn’t do enough , he explained there was a lot of work on the back 9 but from 9 was in really good condition. He gave us a complimentary coffee and asked us about the round etc. A enjoyable day at the Course !

Doing too much work on the back nine

Major renovation work on front nine completely ruined a round of golf

Course was nice but was let down with the amount of work going on on front 9.

It’s having a lot of work done and in a few years time it will score better than this week, greens have not the best, fairways and tees are good, under flight path for airport so can be noisy but the recent investment needs to kick in, front nine is a good layout tbh and is better condition than the back, I’d play there again tho, great service from the staff, food good

The course had many slopes & hills so we couldn’t see where we were hitting our ball without checking ahead first

Friendly welcoming staff.

Playing this course you feel like you are playing through a building site. Fairways are good, greens are just about OK with sandy patches and areas obviously under repair. Difficult course, green not visible for the second shot.

Terrible greens on the front 9, slightly better on the back 9. Also, the club crams people onto the course so that our 13 players were paired up with strangers. The other courses allowed 13 players to go out as 3 x 3 ball and 1 x 4 ball without any issues. But this course insisted that we split up our group even though we had a competition taking place. Would not go back here again.

Greens were ok, fairways were top notch

Great course. Good set up.

Some of the group don’t like this course, personally I enjoyed my round here. I would like to point out that we had a few issues with the transportation to and from the course on one occasion nearly resulting in a serious crash.

Staff not particularly helpful on arrival. Little direction of where to go or what to do, in particular the way the course is played.... Waiting on the 1st for our tee time we were harangued by a marshall for not being on the 10th for our start tiem - players were waiting. Apparently they play 10-18, the 1-9. I explained that this was our first time here and no-one had mentioned this at any stage. A flustered start and a fluffed drive, not the most enjoyable start. The course itself is well established and makes great use of the landscape. Some construction work taking place on the Front (Back) nine. Fairways and greens in great condition and a challenge . some big carries and well placed water features. Lovely place to play.

This was a harder course the greens very fast. It is the most aesthetically pleasing, however the greens obviously had some disease and were being treated, lots of bald patches. I would have been asking for a reduced fee. I thought the clubhouse does not take advantage of the views with no outside space to sit. There was one area at the side with no views over the course.

Golf Del Sur was a nice experience and decent value (we liked it better than Amarilla which is the other cheaper option on South of Island). The well maintained course has some really nice looking holes and is very undulating which makes it a nice challenge. The fairways are quite generous however, so its still somewhat forgiving for average golfers like our group. Many of the holes have elevated tees that offer splendid views of the sea or mountains depending on what way you are facing. The venue has 3 nines and we played North and Links and both were very nice. Forced to choose we would say Links had the slightly nicer holes and views. The starter on the North was a really lovely fella and made us feel very welcome (important for highish handicappers on taht first tee shot! Like Amarilla, the killer was the slow pace of play! Again we were aware of this when we booked, so I had pre-warned our group. Another 5.5 hour round. Again its 8m tee times so the course is rammed unless you are out first thing in the morning (and who wants to do that on a boozy golf trip! We tee'd off at 13.38).

Of the three courses we played, this was the one we didn't enjoy. Too many blind shots into fairways and greens.You thought you hit a good shot,then you couldn't find your ball

A lovely course with a very challenging back 9 especially when you factor in the back 9 links course. Again play was very slow. Unfortunately the first time we played the course on of our party fell down a pothole on the path spraining her ankle and stopped play after 9 holes. Thankfully she was in the club house when our transport arrived and told the driver that we were just about to come up the 18th hole so he waited for us. On our final day given the transport issues the day before we had to insist that the driver telephone the office to arrange for a 45 minute extension to the pick up time which thankfully they were able to accommodate as again we only finished with 15 minutes to spare. loved both courses but would ensure a minimum of 5 hours for a round due to slow play from others in front

A very good golf course that provided a varied challenge, requiring all clubs in the bag. There are a long of undulating fairways requiring a number of blind approach shots making it a challenge. I would recommend a buggy as there are some long walks between holes. The practice facilities are good all round and the club house and shop are also very good.

The first 9 we played was the A course which was in very poor condition. We will not return

There was a lot of work going on around the course which didn't really have any effect on the round but new tee boxes going in I'm sure it'll not take long until it's back to normal. It was very slow the front 9 with 2 par 5s in the first 3 holes meant we were catching up the players infront of us before they were able to tee off. Some fantastic holes that was also a great challenge

Great course howevery the front nine is very slow it took us 3 hours to play nine holes on the first day. This meant we couldn't finish the round.

All rounds are 5 hrs so slow so we soon realised to take our time

There was a competition on the day we played so it was very busy and very slow . The course was in the best condition I’ve seen it

A few bits of GUR but on the whole was in good condition

Potential to be the best out of them all if they sort the conditions out.

A lot of blind tee shots on this course again you need to use a stroke saver and plot your way around rather than trying to muscle all the holes, having said that there are a few holes on the course that the longer hitters will look forward to. A couple of the green had a few scars on them but we took relief and it didn’t spoil the experience. The higher handicappers in our groups struggled a little with this course especially on the newer llinks section. The buggies were reasonably priced and had gps fitted (€40) which I recommend as all these courses have some challenging terrain

Solid course

Another gem with beautiful scenery and some challenging holes A1 condition

Clubhouse facilities not as good as las Americas or Adeje but course itself was good

Mid value course. Good but not great The weather made the day. Just pleased to be playing golf

The wind made this course extremely difficult and the greens were a bit patchy in places. I never realised so many planes came into the airport.

Good course varied and interesting a few too many blind holes but otherwise good. Would play there again.

The course overlooks the sea and has some good views and attractive holes. But it is in a hilly location with fairways running along the contours which can result in balls rolling a long way downhill and often into rocks or dense vegetation. Many fairways and most greens have suffered from very extensive use. Many greens have scorched or worn areas. Because of the distances from some greens to the next tee, and because all golfers are sent out in groups of four players, the progress around the course is slow. I played there twice and kept pace with the group ahead at all times but it took 4 hours and 30 minutes to complete the rounds which is slow, even for holiday golf. If a taxi or transfer vehicle is pre-booked you should allow for at least 5 hours after your tee time to enable you play, return your buggy, have a wash, etc.

The only aspect marring the experience was the sense that there was construction occurring in several places on the course. It was very windy (not the fault of the course) but this did mar the golfing experience (the ball blown off tees and travelling unaided across the greens!)

A reasonable course spoiled by very strong winds which seem to blow almost all the time. Attracts hobby golfers so a lot of wayward hitters made worse by the wind. Clubhouse very basic and staff seem bored and unwelcoming.

Typical experience when playing a course for the first time!

15-20mph windy, sunny, dry weather, occasional waiting, but generally an enjoyable experience and round of golf.

Like all Tenerife golf courses at this time of year, the course was very busy. Enjoyed the round but some of the greens were very patchy. Bar facilities etc were just adequate. Asked for voucher which YGT did not provide.

Very average but perfectly adequate.

It's an interesting course and the views are lovely especially on the Links 9. Its b use but with 12 minutes between tees and excellent Marshalls it moves well.

Played 3 times now and wouldn’t play again. Far too windy.

We were a party of 3 played twice on 2 nd time they teamed us up with a man who had not played for 5 years. There was a party of 2 behind which he could have played with. It was also my husbands birthday we were playing as a family. Spoiled our whole round.

Excellent course and the starter allowed us to play in two three balls which was great

It was soooo slow, too many people, not enough time between tee times, waited on every tee, and fairway, pergurtary ! Walked in on 14, lost the Will to live.

Great course with great views and a good mix of holes and difficulty. Very enjoyable round and would definitely return

Pretty course . Airplanes landing every few mins… Fairways good. Greens very poor

Enjoyed the course. Very close to the airport so many low flying planes added interest. Average priced buggies for the area at 70 euros for the round.

The greens are rubbish with different grasses, damaged areas, pitch marks and even green sanded repairs. We played it back in June 2022 and they were poor then and we thought it was due to lack of money after Covid but it's got worse. They've spent money on new buggy paths and they've tided up the bar area since then, but if we go back to Tenerife we would not book this course again.

Stunning course with lovely views and some very exciting holes.

Decent course and very tricky with a lot of wind. To be honest, it was much too linksy for me. Not my favourite round. However, if love links courses and want a big challenge, it’s your course.

A good test of golf - hilly, generous fairways(shame I couldn't hit them!), pretty good greens, overall in good condition. The bar/restaurant was pretty basic but okay.

Best course by far. Pace of play much better. Had Marshall’s

A most enjoyable round of golf played at the correct pace. Course was in superb condition and greens very challenging.

since i last played this layout the course has changed , now only 18 holes ( previously 27 ) , on the day we played we were advised there were 250 players going through , our round took 5 torturous hours , i for one wont be back . Course has the look of being overplayed with lots of unkempt and rough areas .

All players found the greens hard to pay. All for golfers rarely did less than a 3 putt!

We enjoyed Golf del Sur. We went out early, with a delightful Swiss couple who lived in Tenerife for half the year and played the course regularly. We were around in just over 4 hours. The course has some great views, is well maintained and is mostly very playable, though the sandy base of the fairways reward good striking. We didn't see it at its windiest which made it a little easier than normal.

Amazing!

Much more manageable. The only trouble was a very slow group in front of us and a group playing right up to us. In fact they nearly hit one of us until we had a word!

Rangers hurried us on although I play fast with other players not knowing the course 4 hours was a little quick.

When the wind doesn’t blow it’s a great course for us

Golf course too close to the airport runway and flight path.

Course in good condition, some nice holes. Staff not helpful, not willing to honour booking to play in two 3 balls, course clearly oversold as rounds took 5 hours plus. Buggies very poor

Lovely course with great views. Worth playing with some quirky holes. Transfers always punctual.

Absolutely fabulous. Wide lush fairways with just enough trouble to make you think where you want to hit it. Excellent greens. Great team in the pro shop and the starters. All very helpful. Would have happily just played this course several times.

Interesting course in two halves

Too many blind shots into the greens.

A gem for any to play fairways lush greens brilliant all in all 10 out 10

A lovely golf course very conveniently located right next to the airport. There were stunning views provided by the elevation changes and some memorable holes. The greens are very receptive and it is suitable for everyone of all abilities.

Enjoyed

A nice course to play in OK condition.

The second time we played this made it easier as we knew where we were going!!!!

We played this course twice and found it easier second time round as we knew where the holes were going - there were quite a few ‘blind’ holes. Greens were very quick - a real challenge for long distance and downhills putts!

Nice course albeit quite hilly. Lots of blind shots which makes things tricky when course is not known

The difficulties here were for the first 7-8 holes you couldn’t actually see either the greens or in fact where the course was going ( blind tee shots). Also we decided not to play our bunker shots as there was no sand in the bunkers just grit - which was disappointing. Having said all of that, I would go back and play the course again as I would be more familiar with the route to the greens .

Same as the previous coarse set up for low handicap golfers

Great 👍

Really enjoyed playing it lovely views stuck behind a very slow 3 ball who lost more than a whole quite rude and abrasive Marshall who refused to warn them fo 8 holes after which he did warn them then it improved

Lovely course very windy on the first day but overall very nice

Played in an absolute gale on a course with huge number of blind shots so not easy.Clubhouse is old style and drinks buggy did not appear.

Fantastic courses. Only downside was lots of old pitch marks on the greens.

Really interesting course with great views of the sea!

Really nice place. Clubhouse was quite small and friendly but the course was great. More like a local club as opposed to a commercial entity.

Pleasant but location windy and pace of play v slow.

Absolutely loved this course. However was put out with 3 ladies therefore was extremely slow as they all took 3 shots to my 1 at times and as a result I missed the last 3 holes as lost light

As with Amarilla it was intolerably slow. Five hour rounds that took so long that it was dark when we got in and the clubhouse closed with everyone having cleared off ! At their signature hole , the 4th , we had 16 players at the hole. 3 groups physically on it and one waiting. When we played this course again 2 days later somehow 20 players were at the hole, 2 groups waiting and 3 on the hole. This has to be a global golf record! As this course is nearer the airport the low flying aircraft are even lower so it wasn’t even a peaceful walk spoiled , just a noisy one. On our second round because of our late tee off time (1.46) we reduced it to nine holes as it would have been physically impossible to play 18. The golf management to be fair advised us they told Your Golf Travel that we wouldn’t make 18 but apparently they’d been told to book us in anyway by YGT. Shame if this is true. The course gave us free trollies as “compensation”. It’s understood that golf on the Continent will always be slower but 5 hours is just plain unacceptable. So many other reviews echo this same view so I’m surprised that the tour agents and courses don’t do something about it. We just won’t return.

Amazing course. Very very windy. Under the flight path. Extremely challenging but beautiful. Efficient, friendly staff. Buggy advised as there are some long walks and hilly terrain.

Front nine- Links some great holes Back nine less interesting

This course was closest to our Hotel (Vincci Golf Tenerife) and was a very nice track. There are a lot of blind holes, that if you haven't played before can prove very tricky. The overall condition of the course and greens was very good.

Course was excellent. Facilities a little disappointing. Cafe not open till 10 am which was a little inconvenient. Staff assisted with a drink but would have expected facilities to Be open early.

The course was a good course, I have rated it as hard as the greens were particularly quick & difficult to read, other than that not too bad, when we played at the end of February it was very windy! Good friendly staff.

Some of the holes a bit fiddly. Didn’t like the design of course and how you started on different parts of course. wouldn’t play it again. Practice range was not in good condition.

Only downside to this course is that the bunkers have black stony sand which means many golfers drop out of bunkers rather than scrape their clubs. Greens are tricky and quick which is always difficult if you only play once. Prices of playing and buggies are expensive but it is par for the area

Great course, thoroughly enjoyed it

Staff in pro shop quite unfriendly and not helpful at all. Course in good condition but difficult to play due to very high winds/storm and firmness of the greens. The club house service was great and the food was excellent.

Good course with fabulous views and a variety of holes. The black sand is grim, both to look at and try and get out of. My only real complaint was the amount of time it took to get around - 5 hours plus on both occasions - waiting on every shot the first time we played. This could have been avoided by allowing more time between tee times, rather than packing everyone in to achieve maximum fees - that's how it felt anyway and it was a pity because it was glorious to be out in fair weather in summer gear having left a wet and muddy course back in England.

Course is fair. Greens difficult to read and quick.

The three nines are all different but equally enjoyable to play. Play was rather slow but there was some attempt at marshalling and speeding up very slow groups. The fairways were in reasonable condition and the greens were fast and challenging.

Slow

Some tricky holes if you have not played before. Looking forward to another round at this challenging course.

Lovely course despited the low flying planes. Appreciated their practice facilities. Good putting and chipping greens

Great

Enjoyable course enjoyed links part of the course

3 x 9's. OK course but can get windy. Staff very helpful

Golf del Sur has three loops of 9 holes, labelled North, South and Links. The Links isn’t, it’s just the 9 hole loop that runs closest to the coast (but you’re still always at least a main road and a hotel away from the sea). We played South/Links once and North/Links twice. Of the three, the Links is probably the most straightforward, but all three loops are a good test, with blind shots aplenty, quick greens, wicked pin placements and penalties for wayward play (plentiful red staked off fairway waste areas/ravines and “bunkers” comprising large areas covered with an inch or so of black volcanic lava dust). A strongish breeze (20mph+ according to the weather forecast) on two days, predominantly across holes, made for a real challenge. Staff were friendly and efficient.

We hated the bunkers which don't have sand in them, but volcanic ash. They do not do sand irons any favours ! Too many blind holes as well. We wouldn't play there again.

North course is definitely the poor relation in terms of setting and presentation the other two nine holers are interesting and more enjoyable

This course is really enjoyable, doglegs, some water, ravines and windy conditions made us really think about our shots. Very enjoyable and good driving range, and good facilities for food and pro shop, great choice of equipment.

Need a buggy.

All good we did a little negotiating on buggies and got the price down for 6 buggies down from 35 to 25 euros.

Good course with some challenging holes. Great views of the ocean on some holes. Golf carts were very slow & had no GPS built in
