Couples Golf Trips to Tenerife
Warm golf every month of the year, five star resorts with serious spas, and short drives between courses make Tenerife a natural couples escape. Play the dramatic Abama in the morning beside the Ritz Carlton, take the pool and the Atlantic in the afternoon, and pair it with Seve's clifftop Buenavista when you want the view of the trip.

Who it suits
A couples golf trip needs warm weather, easy logistics and a resort good enough that the day off the course is as appealing as the day on it. Tenerife delivers all three year round. Daytime temperatures hover around 20 to 24 degrees Celsius almost every month, the southwest around Costa Adeje keeps golf, dining and the sea within minutes, and properties like the Ritz Carlton Abama wrap a dramatic course around a five star hotel and spa, so a morning round and an afternoon by the pool fit the same day.
It suits couples who both play and want winter sun, and couples where one golfs and the other does not, since the resorts and the island hold plenty for both. The short flight from Europe, the genuine year round golf and the volcanic scenery, with Mount Teide always on the horizon, make Tenerife one of the most reliable couples golf escapes within four hours of home.
Courses to build around
Abama Golf · Dave Thomas, 2005
A dramatic Dave Thomas design tumbling down the hillside above the Atlantic, with 22 lakes and the five star Ritz Carlton Abama on site. The most complete resort round on the island and the obvious couples base.
Buenavista Golf · Seve Ballesteros
Seve laid out this clifftop course on the wild north coast beside the Teno mountains, ocean on one side and volcanic peaks on the other. The view of the trip, and a real test in the breeze.
Golf Costa Adeje · Jose Gancedo, 1998
A 27 hole layout above the southern resorts woven through banana terraces with sea views from nearly every hole, scenic and welcoming for a relaxed couples round.
Golf Las Americas
A friendly, well conditioned course in the heart of Playa de las Americas, walkable between hotels and bars, ideal for an easy round to open or close the trip.
Golf del Sur · Pepe Gancedo, 1987
A mature 27 holes of black volcanic sand bunkering near the southern airport, reliable golf close to the resort strip and a good value alternative.
Beyond the course
Tenerife pairs golf with spa days, whale and dolphin boat trips off the south coast, Mount Teide and its cable car, and the colonial old town of La Laguna for a day away from the fairways.
Designers and years verified June 2026 from the clubs and recognized course databases. Abama was designed by Dave Thomas (2005), Buenavista by Seve Ballesteros, and Costa Adeje and Golf del Sur by the Gancedo family. Access, spa offerings and green fees change, so always confirm with each club and resort before booking.
