Las Americas
Golf Las Américas: Located close to the centre of Playa de Las Américas, two contrasting nine-hole loops make up this excellently maintained, resort-style, parkland golf course.
The front-nine contains the most undulation, taking you to the layout's highest elevation, where scenic panoramas stretch out across the Atlantic Ocean to the island of La Gomera. Inland you look onto Tenerife's rugged mountain backdrop, scarred with volcanic ridges and ravines, which eventually climbs to the top of El Teide, the island's highest peak and a dormant volcano that last erupted in 1909.
Around the course perimeter many flowering shrubs and bushes screen out the neighbourhood's smartly painted apartments and villas, while inside the course a colourful array of palms, delicate pines, prickly cactus and exuberant flowers adorn the holes.
Occasional ponds, streams and waterfalls, especially on the back-nine, also reinforce the garden-like qualities and golfing challenge of Las Americas. Apart from the uphill par-4 15th and corresponding downhill par-5 16th, the flatter and more compact back-nine brings you closer to the sights and sounds of this busy holiday resort.
Pick of the holes: the more undulating front-nine contains the most testing and scenic holes. A wonderful trio starts with the long par-3 5th, which demands a testing tee-to-green carry over water. The rolling long par-4 6th is one of the best holes on the course, while the equally good and tightish short par-5 6th, presents big-hitters with a possible birdie opportunity.
Visitors welcome weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance. Maximum handicap: men 28; women 36. Proof of handicap may be required.
Soft spikes only. Players generally walk this course. Golf carts (fitted with GPS) available for hire.

Playa de Las Américas, located alongside the much older town and port of Los Cristianos, started developing in the 1960's as a purpose-built holiday resort in the south of Tenerife.
Now well-known for golden sand beaches (most of which are created from imported African sand), the town also enjoys the reputation as the epicenter of Tenerife nightlife. Numerous bars and nightclubs are located here, most notably in areas like Veronicas strip, Starco Centre and The Patch. Las Palmas also has its quieter side for those who want to get some rest and prepare for the following day's golf!

The Masters: The 88th Masters Tournament at Augusta National sees LIV golfer Jon Rahm defend his title against the world’s best. Pressing hard will be world No.1 and 2022 champion Scottie Scheffler and world No.2 Rory McIlroy (April 11-14).
Chevron Championship: the women’s major championship season gets underway for the second year at its new Carlton Woods home outside Houston, Texas. World No.2 Lilia Vu defends (April 18-21).
Nelly Korda: records a perfect start to 2024 with four wins out of her last four appearances on the LPGA Tour, a feat last achieved by Lorena Ochoa in 2008. Korda's win at the T-Mobile Match Play brought up her 12th LPGA Tour victory.
Scottie Scheffler: narrowly missed out on matching Nelly Korda’s three-in-three, when he placed second at the Houston Open. This followed back-to-back wins at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and The Players. Like Korda, he remains comfortably ahead in the official world golf rankings.
Marco Simone Golf & Country Club: With a clubhouse that might befit a Roman Emperor, and a golf course to match, you can be sure of a memorable outing at Rome's most talked about golf facility.
Jim Fazio's original layout was much changed to create a modern Ryder Cup course ... now one of the Eternal City's (and Italy's) most revered.
Here at Prince’s Golf Club you'll find 27 excellent holes of links golf. Just over the fence and sharing similar terrain is Royal St George’s; but Prince’s is far from overshadowed by its venerable neighbour. The three nine-hole loops at Prince's, laid out over gently undulating terrain, are sure to bring a smile of satisfaction to all lovers of links golf.
Stay&Play at Prince's: excellent onsite Lodge accommodation available
