Atrocious customer care
Reviewed November 13, 2021
The course in the summer was in excellent condition, however at the time of writing the fairways are very poor with tram lines abundant on every fairway.
It appears that the management are over booking the course which has resulted in many, many bookings not being honoured.
Our little group have been loyal to the club when players from abroad could not travel due to covid.
However, it seems now that the course is busy they are not interested in honouring residents and society tee times.
I purchased a bono of 20 rounds and now they tell me that I can only book before 07.32, or after 15.35.
An utter disgrace.
Great Service!
Reviewed May 14, 2019
I have to say, of all the courses we visited on this trip, the service we received here was by far the best. The staff were so welcoming and accommodating from the minute our society arrived. Felt like a much happier and relaxed vibe around the clubhouse than other courses.
As for the course, it was a bit shorter and quirkier than others in the area but, the views were spectacular. Apparently it has been re-furbished recently and the condition was good, the greens were very fair, although some tight fairways.
Will definitely be on our itinerary next time.
One of the many
Reviewed January 28, 2012
We played this course on 17 Jan 2012. A dry, sunny day, ca 20°. Amarilla is one of the many courses that are available in the area. The fairways are not always well maintained. The greens may be treacherous. The views are interesting if you like the water. Fifty percent of our flight (the ladies, but this is just a coincidence) didn't make it over the water hazard at hole 5, though that hole is under 100 meter long.

The place lives from the 2 sea railways. Otherwise the condition was not outstanding!
Only the care on Tecina / La Gomera was weaker!
Otherwise, the layout and design is a bit bland and monotonous.
Section 6-14 is the best.

The surroundings of a place also make a difference
Reviewed November 27, 2023
We were very disappointed! Most of the holes were badly burned and in some cases there was no grass to be seen on the fairways. Surrounded by numerous construction sites and a barren, very neglected environment, the game was not very enjoyable. The tracks are easy and with little flair.

Too bad, I expected more.
The place is in acceptable condition, the greens were very fast, that's fun.
Unfortunately, you also have a lot of time to look left and right while waiting.
Many spots are marked as ground under repair, but there was no repair to be seen.
You also get used to the aircraft noise, but at €92 you can expect more.

Great place, but wait instead of play
Reviewed March 9, 2022
We were there in March 2022. The place is really very nice and in good condition. The greens are fast and undulating, and some of the views of the sea are fantastic. The fairways were also ok, due to the significant waves and sometimes sharply sloping fairways, the course was also fundamentally challenging to play.
Unfortunately, you play little golf, you wait. The start times are given every 8 minutes, and it builds up a lot. This gets you out of the flow of the game, apart from the fact that it's really annoying to have to wait several minutes before each shot. At some point we gave up in exasperation and gave up. For this reason I deducted three stars.

Relaxed round of golf
Reviewed March 6, 2022
Secretariat and golf restaurant kept rather simple, which also applies to the sanitary facilities. All the friendlier and funnier for the staff, everything is very familiar. The course itself was in very good condition at the end of February at the beginning of March, with rather fast but faithful greens. Most of the holes are very well visible and are easy to play for all golfers if you choose the right tees. Signature hole is definitely an 8, teeing off over a sea bay. I also liked that practically every hole has a different layout. Will definitely play this place again the next time you visit Tenerife.

Waiting instead of playing
Reviewed January 23, 2022
A pretty nice place with wide fairways and quite challenging greens because undulating and very fast. Some lanes clearly hang to one side and you have to take that into account if you don't want to see your balls disappear into the cactus.
Unfortunately, that was it with the positive part.
The distance between the tee times is 8 minutes and the handicap requirements 28 (men) and 36 (women) mentioned here are not observed. Everyone can play on this course, even with very high handicaps.
There is no Marshall, nobody is interested in the traffic jams and so it is currently hardly possible to play the 18 holes under 5:30 or 6:00. You wait more than you play and a halfway acceptable flow of the game is out of the question.
You can simply forget this place in high season - it's just annoying!

We played the Amarilla Golf Course again in January 2021 and December 2021 and it was another great day of golf with good friends.
The course was in pristine condition with very well manicured greens. Again and again you play along the sea with a great view.
The price-performance ratio on this course is simply excellent. Always my pleasure.

Descending
Reviewed November 14, 2021
In the secretariat 2 women who were apparently trained today. A line of people queuing in the secretariat to be able to pay the green fees and nothing goes on. The toilet is underground, dirty, not cleaned, no soap available, etc., etc.
The place is neglected, especially the fairways with extremely many bald spots, large areas of "ground under repair", next to the fairways a lot of rubbish or simply an overall picture that is not visible. Trash cans on the square overfull, these are apparently not emptied.
Course easy to play, fairways wide, bunkers and water hazards almost non-existent. The greens are relatively good and the plus point of the course as well as the fairway 8 is a short par 3.
The order of the fairways has been changed compared to 2018!
Apparently the place was totally overbooked or we had extremely slow players in front of us today, as a playing time of 5 hours and 45 minutes was very borderline.
In any case, despite the adverse circumstances, I easily underplayed my single handicap today, but will still avoid this place in the future. Have now played all the courses in Tenerife and this course is the most neglected of all courses, so the price / performance ratio is no longer decisive. A top spot in Adeje cost € 100, Amarilla € 84 per person. I like to pay more and get something!!

Solid golf for a moderate green fee
Reviewed December 9, 2020
From hole 3 (up to around 14), and if you hide the sometimes somewhat "rustic" surroundings, amarilla is a demanding and attractive golf course on undulating and hilly terrain.
It never gets really boring and with some holes there is not much scattering, otherwise the ball is quickly lost in the stony cactus desert. but there are usually no obstacles between the tea box and the greens, apart from the usual bunkers around the green, with pretty good sand.
The fairways were excellent, the greens top, nicely undulating and very fast. two par 3 holes, at the bottom of the beach, can certainly be called signature holes.
Place labels and distance information are on the marginal side and we couldn't find a solid 19th hole. the partly criticized aircraft noise (approach lane) didn't bother me in any way.
For a fairly moderate green fee, you get a solid round of golf. the P / L ratio is definitely right here. Rating in the border area of very solid 3 * and just under 4 * - I rounded it up. and i would play the course again anytime.

The best place in Tenerife in the overall view
Reviewed December 3, 2018
The price is excellent in relation to what is offered.
I only experienced friendly people. (How to call in the forest ...) The condition is not always optimal, but you have to see that it almost never rains here and the water is limited. I live on the island and play the course all year round and am very satisfied. The course has medium-wide fairways, but there is rarely a flat state, so not sooo eibfach. There is always a great panorama (to the sea or sometimes in the direction of Bege) I find it exciting, if here on the bad condition is bitching and at the same time on construction sites (yes the state should improve) because the place all year round is open, there is just ne construction site. The place is the cheapest on the island. If someone then complains about 70 euros for a round, he should also say that the other places then cost at the time 130 euros and sometimes have a construction site, etc.
I can only recommend this place to anyone and I'm sure that hardly anyone here confirms his handicap here.

The complex itself is well maintained, the fairways are often surrounded by palm trees, at some there are also water hazards.
Ideal place to improve the short game (even for low HCs).
Not very demanding but relaxed to play.
Nice clubhouse with restaurant and bar. Great view!!
All at a very fair price and with friendly service both in the bistro and on the square itself.
We miss such places and the overall concept in Germany.

How did the 2nd place on 2.1.2018, the first time a year ago. Booked were Teetime, with cart and food. Cart was brought and equipped with water for free. GPS, cool box, ball & club washer were not available. The range has come down rather with old Abschlgsmatten. The range balls to match. The putting green in front of the clubhouse is big and heavily undulating. The staff at the reception, service and tea 1 are all friendly. The sanitary facility in the clubhouse is clean and in order, the on the round go straight to the standing pee. We did not use the lockerroom. Small Proshop available.
The fairways are, as already mentioned, simply designed and designed for higher levels of handicap. Hardly any water or bunkers in the game, just a vacation spot. Again and again bald spots on fairways and many "Under rapair" areas, that should be better. The greens were fast, big, hard to read and in very good condition. The "outside" has improved significantly from last year to today! Less garbage and neglected construction sites, it is developing positively and the view of the sea is a stunner. At most holes aircraft come "into play" is actually normal from hole 3 and forgotten. Game flow was good, some flights let us play through. The wind had chosen us today as a plaything, but we are outdoor - so what?!
Also the gastro is to be recommended.
We always find Amarilla worth playing.

From "well - important" to "excellent" is everything!
Reviewed March 13, 2016
Have played this course for the first time and compared with the other places in Tenerife Amarilla Golf Course is likely to be regarded as one of the worse places. The layout is simple and the maintenance condition of the fairways leaves to be desired. Yet here and there one has a beautiful panorama. The Drum-Around is fairly well maintained and in many places you will find unfinished construction sites, sometimes with larger accumulations of trash. Many perceive the permanent aircraft noise as the biggest shortcoming; we have not felt that way. Sure, it's not great if every 5 minutes. a Boeing 737 flying over a of time, but after a few laps to get used to it. What we felt for our game as unpleasant, the constant strong wind. Clear makes wind and other weather influences play golf only interesting, but think 18 tracks long that one is "blown away" is then not so great.
Bottom line, the place from our perspective is recommended conditionally, but should not omit to him.
Scorecards with our personal requirement we at www. scorecard4you. de created and printed at home itself.
Was particularly positive here the Club restaurant mentioned. The staff is extremely friendly and courteous. Here we ate the best Cesar Salad ever! So definitely try!
We were here in mid-March and the temperatures were very pleasant. We booked the green fees already from Germany via www. golfsunholidays. com We approached the various places with a rental car (Europacar). The problems was always possible and parking there was always enough.
We hope you brought a benefit our assessment of the Amarilla Golf Course and wish all golfers a nice game.

Since we know the place already for many years, we know what to expect here. Actually interesting lanes and a still decent price. But if I really ever the roar of the felt in 1000 flyer continuously over my head, practically to attack next, will get used, I can not say. Only, Tenerife has just not 20 golf courses.

Golf at aircraft
Reviewed March 13, 2015
The first impression when we arrived on 03.02.2015 on the 18-hole course was anything but good. Access through a business park. The clubhouse rather older age that the staff at the reception rather businesslike. The Lend Rolly's not in the best condition and the first train, next to the driving range rather dull, dry and not in the best condition. And then there are constantly about a landing aircraft. Well, since we had paid just 48 € green fee for a start time at 14.30 clock (reservation online through the website, the later the cheaper), we thought, but we can no longer expect. But then compensated but the next 17 holes in large parts. Although the maintenance condition, especially around the greens and partly on the greens "are not always optimal" was so comes the latest on hole 5 to the feeling of Val de Lobo, where and to the PAR 3 the discount over the Atlantic should place against the wind on the green. One should pay attention to the walkers below the hole. Otherwise, the difficulty is due to many open fairways not too high, so that higher HC should come clear. A buggy is not necessary despite slight increases in our view, and as the speed due to the high frequency of the square is not really fast, it also has plenty of time for the other part-way between the tees. A special feature is that it is not again after 9 holes at the clubhouse, but at the other end of the square. But one is after 15 holes back at the clubhouse. Here take advantage of many an opportunity to end the round early. The last 3 holes are then plays behind / next to the access road. Especially the last hole (PAR3) is then again a final challenge with a precise shot over a small ravine. Amarilla Golf is certainly not the first place in Tenerife, but affordable.

Could play the golf course in mid-January. The critics can predict I agree. For a very poor state of maintenance should you still pay about € 70 .-- green fees!?! In addition, at the first tee in parallel to the fairway a pedestrian walkway. Even without signs that we are dealing around a golf course and can be very dangerous.
Particularly risky it is for pedestrians hole. 5

However, from hole 4, the scenery of the place changes considerably; kontourierte nice cars, but not too hard to play some challenging and beautiful views of the sea or the mountains, including Mount Teide make the first impression completely compensated. My personal signature hole is hole 5, a par 3 hole over 100 meters, but these play a small bay with surf on the rocks and the green on a "peninsula", which is adjacent to the sea, to a small harbor where small sailing vessels weighed in the water - simply breathtaking!
