Tenerife isn’t just about the beach. For those who travel with their clubs in tow, the south of the island is one of Europe’s finest golfing destinations: over 300 days of sunshine a year, stable temperatures whatever the month, and top-class courses with the Atlantic as a backdrop. From Villa Adeje Beach, it’s all less than 10 minutes away.
Why Costa Adeje is a top-tier golfing destination
The climate changes everything. While courses in northern Europe close between November and March, here you can play perfectly well in January. Average temperatures hover around 22°C in winter and 28°C in summer, with a constant breeze that adds technical difficulty without making the round uncomfortable.
Add to that a range of courses for every level: from professional competition circuits to courses perfectly suited to those looking to play without any pressure. The south is home to the very best, and from Villa Adeje Beach they’re right on your doorstep.
The two must-play courses from the hotel
Golf Costa Adeje — the star course of the south
The benchmark course in southern Tenerife. An 18-hole, par 72 championship-standard layout, designed by architect José Gancedo on former banana plantation land, with the terrain’s natural terraces marked out by volcanic stone walls. The result is a course that surprises at every turn: irregular fairways, fast greens and bunkers with the striking contrast of white sand against black volcanic gravel.
From Villa Adeje Beach, you’re there in under 10 minutes by car. Alongside the main course, there’s also Los Lagos, a 9-hole, par 33 course with six lakes — shorter and more technical, ideal for an evening round or for higher handicappers after something more relaxed.
It’s hosted the Spanish Open (Canarias Open de España) on the European Tour for over a decade, which gives you an idea of its standard. Facilities include a three-tier driving range, putting green, academy, pro shop and a restaurant with a terrace.
Golf Las Américas — accessible and thoroughly well-equipped
Less than 10 minutes from the hotel by car, Golf Las Américas suits golfers of any level. Its 18-hole, par 72 course runs across gentle terrain, surrounded by palm trees, Canary Island dragon trees and several water hazards that add interest without being intimidating.
The front nine is somewhat more undulating; the back nine flatter and more strategic. It’s hosted the Tenerife Ladies Open and the Spanish Ladies Open on the Ladies European Tour. Online booking is available with real-time tee times, plus a special rate from 3:10pm during high season — ideal if you prefer to play in the afternoon.
How to plan your days from Villa Adeje Beach
The advantage of all-inclusive becomes clear when you’re playing golf: a good breakfast, out onto the course, back for lunch without a second thought, and the afternoon free. A typical day that works well:
- 8:00am — Buffet breakfast at the hotel
- 9:00–9:30am — Head out to the course
- 1:30–2:00pm — Back at the hotel, lunch included
- Afternoon — Pool time, Fañabé beach a 15-minute walk away, or a stroll along the Costa Adeje promenade
- Evening — Dinner included at the hotel
Travelling with someone who doesn’t play? Even better: while you’re out on the course, they’ve got the whole of Costa Adeje to enjoy.
What you need to know before heading out
Do you need to bring your own clubs? Not essential. Both courses offer club and buggy hire. Check availability when booking, especially during high season.
What clothing is required? A collared polo or shirt, golf trousers or shorts, and shoes without metal spikes. Jeans and vest tops aren’t permitted.
When should you book your tee time? During high season — October to April — the most popular slots sell out days in advance. Online booking at both courses is free and straightforward.
What’s the best time to head out? In summer, avoid tee times between midday and 3pm. In winter, any time works well. It’s best to start early: the greens are in better condition and the course is quieter.
