The owners send you the key in advance - so you do not have to wait meet anyone or hang around reception. This apartment is ideal for couples, small families and golfers. It is a great base from which to explore Tenerife, have a round or two of golf and/or have a week or two by the pool just chilling out. Tenerifes eternal spring like climate means the sun shines all year round.

Also nearby is the internationally acclaimed Winter Gardens Bowling Stadium. English is widely spoken across Golf Del Sur.
If the apartment is not booked, the owners we will let you stay until you need go to the airport. So making the most of your holiday. However, this needs to be requested with the owners who will confirm it with you otherwise the normal check in & out times apply.
Unlike the holiday companies (such as Cosmos, Jet2), who have used the same complex, the owners do NOT charge for "extras" such as a kettle, fans, the TV(!), the iron and ironing board, toaster, microwave, and the safe. These are standard in the apartment.
There is also a FREE welcome pack of Tea, Coffee, Sugar, Milk, Water & Wine for you on arrival. These welcome packs are not provided by the holiday companies and some other owners who advertise on this web site also charge for such packs.
All the owners clients get a FREE comprehensive guide to the Golf Del Sur area and Tenerife. This guide has received many compliments by the owners clients.
The owners are flexible on arrival days - so you can advantage of those cheap midweek flights.

Golfing Information
The apartment is across the road from the international Golf Del Sur PGA Standard Course - one of the Canaries premier golf courses. It has three 9 hole courses - North, South and Links. It is just a short walk to the club house from the apartment. October to April is the busiest season, as golfers from northern Europe ditch their waterproofs to get in a round in the sun. Since its inaugural event, the course has been the back dro p for various top international tournaments, such as the Shell Wonderful World of Golf tournament with its head-to-head battle between Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson. It has also been the setting for two golf driving distance records, First a new record of 398 yards and then, just a couple of months later, it was broken again with a huge stroke which sent the ball flying 408 yards!! Designed by Pepe Gancedo, it is a very enjoyable layout with the black volcanic sand in the bunkers.
There is a special instruction area for teaching golf for groups at the beginner and advanced levels. The area includes different practice tees, greens, bunkers and chipping greens. Clubs and buggies can also be hired.
The Golf Del Sur is not the only local course. The Donald Steele designed Amarilla (also PGA Standard) Golf course is next door! Though a taxi or car is preferable to get to it if you are carrying your clubs! From the course like Golf Del Sur you have incredible views of the majestic Mount Teide. During your round you are surrounded by a broad variety of canarian flora. Steele, took advantage of the beautiful contrasts of the Island to achieve a varied course between ravines and the Atlantic Ocean. Right from the first tee, you have spectacular ocean views. The most impressive part of the course is the infamous, 5th hole, where the sea becomes a fairway, making it necessary to cross it in order to reach the green, dropping short or slicing the ball is not advisable!
Finally - The owners advise that if you are looking for a pure beach or clubbing holiday - the Golf Del Sur area is NOT the area for you.
