Abama Golf: The Most Exclusive Golf Course in Tenerife

12/12/2024
Abama Golf
Abama Golf, located in the south of Tenerife, is an 18-hole golf course nominated in 2024 as the Best Golf Course in Spain at the World Golf Awards. This golf course in Tenerife rises on the western slope of the Teide volcano, offering spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean and the island of La Gomera. In addition to its attractive design and privileged location, Abama Golf has hosted international championships that have attracted golfers from all over the world, further highlighting the quality and prestige of this impressive course.
The Renovation of Abama Golf: A More Sustainable and Improved Course
Abama Golf has reopened its doors after an extensive renovation that began in May. This transformation aimed to enhance the ecological efficiency of the course and elevate the quality of the services offered to golfers. After five months of inactivity, the course is ready to welcome players with an even more exclusive golfing experience.
Among the key improvements is the replacement of the grass on all 18 greens and the practice area, including the putting green. The Bermuda TifEagle variety was chosen for its resistance to pests and diseases, ensuring not only better playing conditions but also greater water savings and reduced use of pesticides. This variety was selected after a thorough analysis of factors such as the climate, soil, and topography of the course, guaranteeing a significant improvement in playability.
This new chapter in the history of Abama Golf underscores its commitment to sustainability and excellence, reaffirming its position as one of the best golf courses in Tenerife and Europe.
Key Features of Abama Golf
High-Quality Design
The course was designed by Dave Thomas, a professional player and renowned golf course architect, ensuring a layout that is both exceptionally challenging and rewarding. This course has hosted important international championships, such as the 2005 European Tour, the Spanish Open, the Ladies European Tour (twice), the "Tenerife Open", and the Maria García Estrada Invitational.
Awards and Certifications
For the fifth consecutive year, Abama Golf was recognized in the 2022 edition of the Golf Digest Editors’ Choice Awards, ranking as one of the most outstanding golf courses in Europe. This recognition validates not only the technical quality of the course but also the excellence of its services, the stunning natural landscapes surrounding it, and the premium accommodation options available to its visitors.
In terms of certifications, Abama Golf is a pioneer in Spain, being the first course to receive the IAGTO Quality Certification (International Association of Golf Tour Operators), a recognition that highlights the high quality of the course and exceptional customer service.
Additionally, it is the only course in the Canary Islands to hold the EMAS eco-label, a distinction that ensures reduced environmental impact compared to other services of the same category. Complementing this credential, Abama Golf also holds the ISO 14001 certification, guaranteeing its commitment to sustainability and responsible environmental management.
Buggy with GPS Included
The green fee at Abama Golf includes a state-of-the-art electric buggy equipped with a GPS system providing detailed information about each hole. This feature is particularly useful for navigating the course, which is characterized by its steep elevation changes.
State-of-the-Art Equipment
For those without their own equipment, Abama Golf offers state-of-the-art rental clubs. Taylormade Clubs (M6, M4, and M2) ensure golfers have the best in quality and performance during their game.
Golf Academy
Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your game, the Abama Golf Academy offers personalized golf lessons with highly qualified instructors. No matter your level, from beginners to advanced players, you'll find the support you need to perfect your technique. Additionally, the academy features an extensive practice area, including a driving range, dedicated chipping areas, and a putting green.
For those who prefer to practice in a quieter environment, the academy provides a 5-hectare space with three par-3 holes, ideal for less experienced golfers.
Clubhouse: The Perfect Place to Relax
After a day of golf, the Abama Golf Clubhouse is the ideal retreat to relax and enjoy a welcoming atmosphere. During the course's downtime, several areas were completely renovated, including the Pro Shop, reception, offices, and the new clubhouse restaurant, Atlántico Restaurant. This space is perfect for recharging after a day of play.
The recent renovation not only enhances the aesthetics and functionality of the facilities but also reinforces Abama Golf's commitment to quality and comfort for its players, offering a unique experience in every corner of the course.
Sustainability and Environmental Care
One of the most remarkable aspects of Abama Golf is its commitment to sustainability. The course uses desalinated water for irrigation, making it one of the few courses in the Canary Islands to operate self-sufficiently in terms of water. Additionally, the course employs eco-friendly fertilizers and innovative maintenance techniques, such as using local plant extracts to care for the grass, minimizing the need for chemical products.
