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 Gomera
and 5 minutes from 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.
