The area: Welcome to a fascinating course set in the Tenerife foothills. This Pepe Gancedo-designed gem is interestingly laid out with the front nine holes being an uphill and downhill mix, and the back nine generally going with the contours of the hillside. As for the views, it’s a postcard of lush greenery.

Holes: Unusually, the two hardest holes here are par 3s! The 187-yard 7th is a real card-wrecker, with the tee shot requiring a carry all the way to the green.

The area: Consisting of three nine-hole loops, this extensive golf resort offers a fantastic contrast between black volcanic-sand bunkers and lush greens and fairways. You’ll find a few water challenges as well, so it’s the ideal blend of scenic and sporty. There are even tennis courts if you fancy a change of pace afterwards.

Holes: The 457-yard par 4 third on the north nine is a tough test. The narrow fairway is lined by some pesky black-sand bunkers.
