Fuerteventura Golf

The new Fuerteventura Golf club is the first of its kind on the island. Situated just 11 km's from the Capital city of Puerto del Rosario, the Fuerteventura golf club has a course where 18 holes with a 70 par wander over stunningly designed stream and lakes.

Designed by Juan Cataimeau, the Fuerteventura golf club has extensive greens, 50-metre-wide fairways and some easier holes for beginners. The Fuerteventura golf club house is a modern facility with changing rooms, bars, restaurants and cafes as well as a fully stocked large pro shop where you can also hire buggies, trolleys and clubs. The Fuerteventura golf course has only been open since 2002 but has already hosted a major golf tournament and is attracting hundreds of visitors. The constant warm climate throughout the year means that you can visit the Fuerteventura golf course all through both summer and winter.

The course is 6049 meters from the men's championship tees, with two loops of nine holes starting and finishing at the clubhouse and with the exception of the 17th and 18th holes, is basically flat. The 17th hole is a par 5 which gently climbs to a well protected green and the 18th hole is a par 4 with a very high tee with a downhill dogleg that returns to the clubhouse. Players beware on the 18th hole as here is where the player could take more club than is needed for the tee shot because of the deceptive breeze blowing from behind. The whole course is designed around three large lakes all interconnected by a stream, with buggy paths connecting all the holes.

The Fuerteventura Golf resort has become a beautiful place to stay even for non golfers and when there is a breeze blowing this course turns into a challenge for even the most experienced golfer. Also available to guests are two practice greens, one a 50 bay driving range and the other for chipping and bunker shots as well as a large putting green.

This golf course has led the way but there are now 4 more on the drawing board. One each in Pajara, Jandia, Cotillo and Puerto del Rosario.
