Golf Costa Adeje
Adeje
Golf Costa Adeje is one of Tenerife’s most distinctive golf venues, offering 27 holes in a spectacular position overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and the neighbouring island of La Gomera. Located close to Costa Adeje and La Caleta, the club combines year-round sunshine with dramatic sea and mountain views, making it an excellent choice for a winter golf holiday in the Canary Islands.
The main Championship Course is an 18-hole, par-72 layout designed by six-time Spanish champion Pepe Gancedo. Built across the site of a former banana plantation, the course retains the original agricultural terraces and traditional stone walls that once divided the land. These features create unusual changes in level and give the course a character that feels completely connected to Tenerife.
Generous fairways provide some confidence from the tee, but the elevation changes, bright white bunkers and strategically positioned greens ensure the round remains challenging. Golfers must judge distances carefully when playing uphill or downhill, while the exposed setting means coastal breezes can quickly alter club selection. The course has also hosted several important professional tournaments, including the Spanish Open, Tenerife Open and Canary Islands Championship.
The nine-hole, par-33 Los Lagos Course offers a shorter and more accessible alternative. Six lakes, volcanic-style bunkers and technical holes make it ideal for beginners, higher-handicap golfers or anyone wanting to add a quick round to their stay. The club also has a large driving range arranged across three different levels, alongside professional coaching and practice facilities.
After golf, players can enjoy food and drinks on the clubhouse terrace before exploring Costa Adeje. Nearby options include the beaches and seafood restaurants of La Caleta, waterfront dining around Puerto Colón and whale or dolphin-watching trips along Tenerife’s south coast.

About The Area
Playa San Juan is an excellent base for a relaxing golf holiday in Tenerife, combining a traditional coastal atmosphere with easy access to some of the island’s finest courses. Located in Guía de Isora on Tenerife’s sunny west coast, the village is around 36 kilometres by road from Tenerife South Airport. It feels calmer and more local than the larger resorts around Costa Adeje and Playa de las Américas, making it ideal for golfers who prefer peaceful evenings beside the sea.
The star attraction for golfers is nearby Abama Golf. Designed by Dave Thomas, this spectacular 18-hole, par-72 championship course climbs across the western slopes of Mount Teide and provides wide views over the Atlantic Ocean towards La Gomera. Its changing elevations, white-sand bunkers and technical holes make it a memorable test for experienced players, while several tee positions help make the course manageable for different handicaps.
Golf Costa Adeje is another superb option, with an 18-hole championship course and the shorter nine-hole Los Lagos layout. The main course was created from a former banana plantation, retaining its traditional terraces and stone walls while introducing broad fairways, strategically placed bunkers and wonderful sea and mountain views. Golf Las Américas can also be included in a longer itinerary, offering an attractive par-72 course set inside a natural amphitheatre.
Away from the golf course, Playa San Juan has a sheltered beach made up of dark sand and volcanic pebbles, alongside a promenade stretching for almost two kilometres. The waterfront is lined with cafés, shops and restaurants where visitors can try fresh fish and traditional Canarian dishes. Boat excursions also leave from the fishing harbour, providing opportunities to explore Tenerife’s western coastline.
Los Gigantes, with cliffs rising as high as 600 metres above the sea, makes an excellent nearby excursion, while Teide National Park offers volcanic scenery, walking routes and unforgettable viewpoints. Tenerife’s mild winters and average annual temperature of around 23°C make Playa San Juan particularly attractive for an autumn, winter or spring golf holiday from the UK.
