Las Americas Golf
Set in a valley just minutes from the resort strip it is named after, Golf Las Americas opened in 1998 as a John Jacobs design of par 72 and about 6,051 meters. Lushly planted with palms, lakes and flowering shrubs and framed by the mountains of the interior, it is the most convenient round on the sunny south coast of Tenerife.

The verdict
Golf Las Americas does exactly what its name promises: it brings golf to within a few minutes of the busiest resort area in the Canary Islands. Laid out in a sheltered valley above Playa de las Americas in the municipality of Arona, it opened in 1998 to a design by John Jacobs and Associates, and it has been a fixture of southern Tenerife golf holidays ever since. A par 72 of about 6,051 meters, it is generously planted with palms, lakes and flowering shrubs that give it a lush, tropical feel, with the volcanic mountains of the interior rising behind.
This is a holiday course at heart, and it knows it. The conditioning is good, the atmosphere is lively, and the convenience is unbeatable for anyone staying in the resorts of the south. It is not the longest or the most fearsome test on the island, but it is varied and enjoyable, with enough water and shaping to keep you honest. Combined with the year round warmth and reliable sunshine of southern Tenerife, it makes an easy, dependable round to anchor a winter golf escape, and it pairs naturally with the bigger names a short drive along the coast.

The holes worth the trip
What gives Las Americas its character is the planting and the water. The fairways thread between stands of palm and beds of bright Canarian flora, and lakes come into play on a number of holes, so accuracy off the tee and a clear head on the approach matter more than brute length. The valley setting keeps much of the course sheltered, though the breeze that funnels up from the coast can change the feel of an afternoon round, and the mountain backdrop gives almost every hole a sense of place.
At about 6,051 meters the course is a fair test rather than a punishing one, which suits its holiday clientele. There is enough variety in the par 3s and the risk and reward on the par 5s to keep better players engaged, while the generous conditioning and the multiple tees make it welcoming for higher handicaps and mixed groups. It is the kind of round you can play hard or play for fun, and either way the climate and the setting deliver a thoroughly enjoyable day.
Las Americas suits the golfer who wants reliable sunshine, a lively resort atmosphere and golf within easy reach of the hotel. It pairs well with the nearby Golf Costa Adeje and the coastal layouts at Golf del Sur for a few days of varied southern Tenerife golf.
