The first golf on the island at Caleta de Fuste is an 18 hole, par 71 round extending 6124 metres, there's a gentle slop from the Clubhouse Hotel towards the sea, the area surrounding the 17th & 18th holes is the steepest. The beautiful setting and simplicity of the course is excellent. It's challenge comes from the wind factor and from the lakes, streams and channels that can have an impact on the game. The prevailing winds come from the north and at it's strongest can turn the course into quite a challenge.Designed by the renown architect Juan Catarimeau. Who saw how important the wind would be on the landscape and for this reason there are extensive greens on average more than 614 sq. mt and the fairways as much as 50 metres wide. The course is well planted but there are no trees on the fairways. There is an attempt to create a balance between the difficulty of some holes with the easier ones.
There are four more golf courses planned or under construction at Pajara, Jandia, Cotillo and Puerto del Rosario. |
