Another of
architect, Pepe Gancedo's magnificent courses, Golf Del Sur has a
thoroughly enjoyable layout, with wide fairways, lined with
indigenous plant species, exotic palms and giant cacti set against the sparkling Atlantic.
Ever since its
1987 inaugural event, a competition for professionals, the 27 greens
and fairways of Golf del Sur have provided the backdrop for various
top international tournaments.
In 1989
José María Olazábal’s victory in the Open de Tenerife, a feat
he repeated in 1992. The following year David Gilford won the
event, as did Mark James in ’94. In 1995, Golf del Sur hosted
the Shell Wonderful World of Golf tournament and which ended
with a head-to-head battle between Ernie Els and Phil
Mickelson.
Golf del Sur has
also been the setting for two golf driving distance records, both of
which were set by Britain's Karl Woodward. First he set a new record
of 398 yards and then, a few months later, he managed to break the
legendary 400-yard barrier with a powerful stroke, which sent the
ball flying 408 yards.
Particularly difficult is the 3rd hole of the north
course. To the right of the wide fairway is a water hazard;
behind which lies an impressive ravine with an ochre-coloured
rock face, while to the left is a gaping bunker of black
sand
Another notable
hole is the 2nd of the southern course, a par 3 of 193 metres whose
green is surrounded by another immense bunker of black sand
