Real Club de Golf de Tenerife

For golfers considering where to play in Tenerife, Real Club de Golf de Tenerife offers an introduction to the island’s greener, cooler surroundings. The club is in Tacoronte, at an altitude of 600 metres, with an 18-hole, par-71 course set among abundant native trees. It belongs to the province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, in the Canary Islands.

Founded in 1932, it ranks among Spain’s oldest golf clubs. That history is one reason to take an interest; the wooded setting is another. Together, they give a clear starting point for understanding the club beyond its name.

The course and its setting

The course was designed by Andrés Alberto, Antonio Lucena, Joaquín Laynez and Aureliano Yanes. Its 18 holes form a par-71 layout, with native woodland a prominent feature of the landscape.

The location matters when picturing a visit. This is a green, cool part of Tenerife, 600 metres above sea level, rather than simply an unspecified island golf setting. The trees and altitude are central to the surroundings described here, and help place the course within the wider variety of Tenerife’s landscapes.

For a travelling golfer comparing places to play, those are the key characteristics to keep in mind: a full 18-hole course, a wooded environment and a location in Tacoronte.

A club founded in 1932

The club’s foundation dates to 1932, placing it among the oldest in Spain. This is the date of the club’s establishment, and an important part of its identity within Spanish golf.

Its long history sits alongside the physical character of the course. A visit brings together an established golf institution and the green surroundings of this part of Tenerife, with the native trees providing a particularly visible connection to the local landscape.

Beyond the round

The club also has a golf academy and a pro shop. Each has its own page in this guide, allowing readers to look at those aspects of the club separately from the course overview.

A restaurant, padel facilities and event services complete the listed offering, and also have dedicated pages. For visitors looking beyond the golf itself, these are the other parts of the club to explore. The overall picture is of a club that combines its 18-hole course with teaching, retail, dining and additional sporting facilities in Tacoronte.
