Golf del Sur - Tenerife South: Our ‘Aparthementhoth Ethpanyole’

Golf del Sur 🏌🏻⛳ Tenerife South – ‘Aparthementhoth Ethpanyole’

If your idea of a perfect getaway involves battling relentless coastal breezes while chasing a tiny white ball across a sun-scorched landscape, then Golf del Sur in Tenerife South is exactly what you need.

This golf resort in the Canary Islands doesn’t just offer fairways—it delivers a masterclass in patience as you navigate rugged terrain and strategically placed obstacles that seem to mock your every swing.

But hey, at least the views are decent, and if your game doesn’t impress, the local seafood might just redeem the experience. ⛳😏

Highlights

 

Chill in the Canary Islands

The southern region of Tenerife, the largest of Spain’s Canary Islands, beckons travelers with its diverse landscapes, from the lunar-like beauty of Teide National Park to the lively coastal towns and bustling resorts along the southern shore.

Whether you seek relaxation on the beach, water sports, or a taste of Canarian cuisine, Tenerife South promises a relaxing if windswept escape.

Getting to Golf del Sur

After spending a really enjoyable 2-night stopover in Girona, Spain we continued our journey to our principal destination – the Canary Islands.

Our first introduction to these islands was the Golf del Sur in Tenerife South.

We planned to spend 3 nights in Golf del Sur in a self-catering apartment on the southern coast. Although we’re not regular golfers ourselves, the lush Golf del Sur golf course is right on the doorstep.

Our evening flight from Barcelona got us to Tenerife South just after midnight. We took a metered taxi to Golf del Sur, and paid a very reasonable fare.

… which is just as well since there are no buses after midnight.

Grand Muthu Golf Plaza

We had a booking at the Grand Muthu Golf Plaza. This was quite a good deal at €102 for 3 nights based on 2 sharing, excluding breakfast.

However with a hotel name like that I wouldn’t have been surprised if Samual L. Jackson had been there to greet us at reception 😉

We were given a decent-sized room with fully-equipped kitchen and balcony. Nothing to complain about here.

All in all we were quite happy with our ‘Aparthementhoth Ethpanyole’.

Just around the corner from the hotel is a 24-hour mini-market where you can purchase most essentials.

Local Area / Getting Around

A 15-minute walk downhill from the hotel takes you to the main promenade and beaches. The beaches are all volcanic stone and black sand, and in May the water is just a little too fresh for swimming.

You can find plenty of snack bars offering all-day breakfasts along the promenade, and there is a good selection of very reasonably-priced restaurants.

Just outside the entrance of the Grand Muthu Golf Plaza you can find a bus stop. From here you can get buses to the main bus terminal at Los Christianos.

From Los Christianos you can then get an onward ride to anywhere on the island. However, you’ll need to be patient: The buses don’t run too frequently between Golf del Sur and Los Christianos.

There are also two types of buses: Standard buses and Express buses. The standard buses stop everywhere, and take twice as long as the Express buses (but the prices are the same).

You can get away with speaking English on the buses, but there’s no harm in having a go in Spanish:

‘Doth pour Loth Chrithdianoth’

…was about as far as I got before my tongue started to swell up.

We got quite familiar with our bus stop. Three days later we would be taking another bus to Los Christianos for our onward journey to Puerto dela Cruz in Tenerife North (€14.50 per person, one-way).

Fancy a Round of Golf?

If you’re a golfer, Golf del Sur offers a challenging yet rewarding experience for all skill levels, set against the backdrop of the island’s dramatic coastal landscape.

The championship course features wide fairways bordered by black volcanic sand, adding a unique contrast to the lush greens. Wind conditions can be unpredictable, making club selection a strategic decision rather than a routine choice.

Designed with intricate doglegs, strategically placed bunkers, and undulating terrain, the course tests precision and patience while delivering panoramic views of the Atlantic.

The resort provides top-tier facilities, including a well-maintained driving range, putting greens, and a fully equipped clubhouse. Players can refine their skills with professional coaching sessions or take advantage of the pro shop stocked with high-quality equipment and apparel.

The on-site restaurants serve fresh seafood and regional specialties, offering a well-deserved respite after a round on the demanding course.

The resort’s proximity to Tenerife South Airport makes it convenient for travelers seeking a golf-focused getaway without lengthy transfers. With consistent sunshine and mild temperatures year-round, the climate enhances playability, ensuring ideal conditions for an enjoyable round. 🏌🏻‍♂️⛳

Where to Eat

With only 2 full days in Golf del Sur, we wanted to make sure we chose the right places to eat in the evenings.

Before arriving, we’d made a shortlist of 4 highly recommended restaurants in the area.

The two places we actually visited did not disappoint…

Sakura Tiepannyaki

The Sakura Tiepanyaki restaurant is located close to the seafront, just off the Golf del Sur promenade (see map).

The restaurant specializes in a Japanese style of hotplate cooking. The word tiepanyaki is derived from ‘teppan’, which means iron plate or steel sheet and ‘yaki’, which means grilled or stir-fried.

A live cooking show is performed by the chef right in front of you – a very entertaining and mouthwatering way of eating.

The flambé beef spectacle gave me traumatic flashbacks of being back in ‘Nam 😨.

Our meal together with a bottle of red wine was exceptional value at €48 for the two of us.

Tapas Pata de Oro

Tapas Pata de Oro is located a small distance inland from the promenade. It is a popular restaurant so you need to arrive early to get a table.

We enjoyed a tasty selection of tapas accompanied by a bottle of local wine for just €36 for two.

During our short stay in this southern area of Tenerife, we wanted to visit Siam Park (the No 1 Waterpark in the world!) and take a look around Playa las Americas – the so-called party capital of Tenerife.

We would not be disappointed…
