More about the course: Amarilla Golf:
The designer of the course, Donald Steel, was able to take advantage of the beautiful contrasts of the island to achieve a varied course between ravines and the Atlantic Coast. From the first tee, the player discovers the spectacular ocean views. Te most impressive part of the course reaches its peak at the 5th hole. This is truly a gem for golf lovers, where the sea become a fairway, making it necessary to cross it in order to reach the green.
The facilities include: driving range, putting green, pro-shop, equestrian centre and Club House with tennis court, swimming pool, bar and restaurant. It was inaugurated in 1989, and one year later Amarilla Golf hosted the second edition of the Tenerife Open, which is part of the European P.G.A. tour.
