| On
the southern coast of Tenerife, just bordering the sea find
the Amarilla Golf and Country Club. The character of the 18
hole course is marked by the incredible views of the Atlantic
Ocean which, without a doubt, inspired golf architect Donald
Steel. The golf course, surrounded by barrancos and a residential
development, provides a stern challenge for the professional
golfer, while, at the same time, offers an attractive and enjoyable
game for those of a more modest ability. It was inaugurated
in 1989 and one year later Amarilla Golf hosted the second edition
of the Tenerife Open, part of the European PGA Tour. |

From the
first tee, the player discovers
the spectacular ocean views. Following on to the 2nd, 3rd
and 4th holes that are surrounded by a board variety of typical
Canarian flora, enormous Cannas Indicas, the beautiful Washington
Palms and the very exclusive Canarian Pines. The most impressive
part of the round reaches its peak at the 5th hole; this is
truly a gem for golf lovers

where
the sea becomes a fairway, making it necessary to cross it
in order to reach the green.
The following
holes leave the coast momentarily, in order to enjoy other
panoramic views including a range of mountains, crowned by
the majestic Mt. Teide. The game continues returning once
again to the seaside on the 12th hole, accompanied by a nice
cool ocean breeze. Following on, the course allows for a break
at the welcome Pro Shop terrace, after which the last three
holes are characterised by their large bunkers, boarded by
volcanic sand and the presence of the neighbouring golf course,
Golf del Sur, making San Miguel the county with the most golf
holes on the island.
Amarilla
Golf also offers the recently inaugurated Pitch and Putt,
9 holes par 27, only 20 metres from the Pro Shop. Other facilities
include driving range, putting green, equestrian centre and
Club House, which in itself includes tennis court, swimming
pool, bar and restaurant with views of the ocean and the golf
course.
