Neighboring the Golf Del Sur course is the Amarilla Golf and Country Club. The
character of this 18 hole course is marked out 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, offering an
attractive and enjoyable game for the the amateur. Inaugurated in 1989 and the
following year 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 neighboring
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.
