Golf del Sur

Background

Perfect for golfers or non–golfers alike, Tenerife’s ocean front resort of Golf Del Sur offers championship golf, beautiful scenery, great bars and restaurants, lively entertainment or simple peace and tranquility. Golf Del Sur is part of the municipality of San Miguel de Abona and is built around a 27 hole golf course. The streets are lined with sub-tropical palms and flowering plants which add to the charm of the resort.  There is a commercial centre, CC San Blas, made up of 80 businesses where, shops, bars, restaurants, supermarkets, medical facilities and a church can all be found… It’s here at CC San Blas that the resort nightlife takes place around the main square. During the day, if you’re not out playing golf, you’ll find a reasonable selection of souvenir shops, supermarkets, and a selection of restaurants and bars. There is also a medical center and very convenient chemist close to the main clubhouse.  The nightlife of Playa De Las Americas is only about 20 euros away by taxi. As well as golf, the resort has tennis courts, gymnasiums, a bowling green and each individual complex has a communal swimming pool. As a long term objective, the San Miguel de Abona municipal council do plan the creation of an artificial beach in the town.  The latest addition to the area is the new 5star hotel Fantasia Bahia Principe Tenerife.

In one direction the neighboring fishing village of Los Abrigos and its restaurants are only a 10 minute walk away, the council have invested a considerable amount of money and are currently building a coastal path with bridges to make the village easier to access.  And in the other direction the neighboring village of Amarilla Golf, with its own golf course and marina. The international wind surfing destination of El Médano is also located nearby.

Golf

The spectacular 27 hole golf course is the centrepiece of the town.  There is a well stocked Pro shop and a Golf School on site. This Tenerife golf course, designed by Pepe Gancedo, is a thoroughly enjoyable layout with black volcanic sand in the bunkers, wide fairways lined with a wide variety of indigenous plants, palm trees and giant cactus plants, which give it the impression of an oasis by the sea.

Other golf courses at Amarilla (neighboring town), Las Americas and A deje are all less than 20 minutes away. For any beginners or those seeking to improve their short game, a good quality par 3 course at Los Palos is only 10 minutes drive.

Property

Golf del Sur is still growing and yet is completely self sufficient. Investors and residents have benefited from excellent capital growth and rental income over the last decade. With new developments under construction and in the planning stages, it is still an ideal moment to secure a holiday apartment or residence here.  Apartments range from budget studios in complexes like Green Park , up to magnificent luxury developments, such as El Nautico, located right beside the ocean.  There is also a wide range of villas and chalets.  Buyers can expect more for their money here than areas such as Las Americas and Los Cristianos, in terms of space and facilities.  The area attracts year round tourists of a better quality than the main resorts, so their properties tend to have much lower maintenance overheads.

Transport

Golf del Sur is well served by buses running directly to Playa De Las Americas, Los Cristianos, Los Abrigos and Santa Cruz.  Reina Sofia International Airport is only a 10 minute drive away.
