herrlich angelegt an einem Berghang, der Platz wird von oben nach unten gespielt, Aussichten auf Teneriffa und Teide und das Meer herrlich, Fairways im Hang sind z.T. sehr ähnlich, nur ein paar einprägsame Holes

We played here on the 21 Jan 2012. Mainly sunny, some clouds, ca 18°, sometimes with cold breezes making me yearn for an arctic fleece. A clear day.

Our ferry from Los Cristianos arrived late at San Sebastian de la Gomera, so that were late for our tee time. No problem though: we could start as soon as we were ready. BTW: it takes a nice trip of about 40 minutes from San Sebastian to Tecina Golf through the mountains of La Gomera. Don't miss El Cabrito (Mirador del Sombrero).

This course is a “must”, provided the weather is clear so as to allow for the magnificent views. The course is very well landscaped, with tropical flowering plants, shrubs, and trees. There is a view of the ocean on all holes, and on the island of Tenerife and the Teide (the world’s third highest volcano) on half of the holes. The views are always spectacular, from the tees, the fairways, or the greens. The course is very pleasant to play once you have experienced that all holes slope towards the ocean, and that the semi rough is trimmed at 4,5 cm so as to provide for a perfect hiding place for your ball. The strong wind gusts may do tricks with your ball. Suggestion: before playing hole 10, go and have a look all the way down to the green; note down the distances, differences in altitude, and directions, and decide the strategy you are going to adopt. My first ball was lost to the left, my second (second shot with that ball!) in the shrubs in front of the green, which is situated well below the main part of the fairway … Oh yes, I had the stroke saver ;-(

An extra plus: the staff is very customer oriented. My e-mails were replied to within half an hour. Registering, paying, transportation to hole #1, start, catering (yes: two bottles of water are included in the green fee), etc. were all handled very professionally. Nice little club house. For those who collect this stuff: logo balls, marker and stroke saver available.

Conclusion: this course is a “must”. In Michelin terminology: “Vaut le voyage”.
