Fuerteventura Golf Club
Fuerteventura Golf
Club is a new 18 hole championship golf course, with lush wide
fairways and swaying palm trees which offers both an
interesting and challenging test for players of all standards.
The course, the first on the island, is a par 70 extending
6124 metres from the championship tees, with a mild descent
from the Clubhouse down towards the
ocean.
Unfortunately you will have to walk the 2
minutes from the La Isla Bonita family golf villas. Circa 2
minutes to Villa Gomera
and 5 minutes from Villa El
Hierro to the first tee and clubhouse. (I suppose you
could take the car!!). Green fees (Circa 40 euro) are
relatively inexpensive particularly compared to mainland Spain
or Portugal.
The Fuerteventura golf course was designed
by the prestigious architect Juan Catarimeau, who realised the
importance of the prevailing northerly wind on the design and
landscaped the course with this factor in mind. Water comes
into play on many holes with a series of attractive lakes and
brooks traversing the course. To compensate for the prevailing
breeze and water the greens are large and most of the fairways
are quite generous.
Fuerteventura golf course, which is
superbly appointed and maintained, will present a challenge to
the most serious golfer as well as an ideal place to improve
your game if you are less experienced. There is a large
practice area which includes a 50 bay driving range area and
extensive practice putting / chipping facilities. Professional
tuition is available in several languages.
The
clubhouse includes large pro-shop, changing rooms with
lockers, a club storage area and a choice of bars and
restaurants. There is also an outside terrace and garden area
where you can enjoy your drink overlooking the 18th green with
spectacular views down towards the Atlantic Ocean. Buggies,
trolleys and two classes of clubs can be
hired.
