Good course to start the season but nothing to wait for the real golfers. The fairways are quite large

Well maintained golf course
Reviewed March 24, 2024
Of the 4 golf courses in Fuerteventura, this is the golf course with the best atmosphere... Golf course very well maintained... cheaper price if you start the round later... Water in the landscaped lakes...
But: since the golf course is the most popular of the 4 golf courses on Fuerte, you are drawn as a second flight to other players... Planes can be seen and heard over the golf course... Courses are usually not exciting, but rather " "normal" created...

A must for every golfer to play here
Reviewed February 23, 2024
A free shuttle bus takes guests from the Sheraton and Elba to the clubhouse and back in 10 minutes. The course is beautifully laid out and suitable for all skill levels. There are many groups playing, which is why it is hardly possible to play through. So you need some time and patience. The lanes have also been shortened a little so that more players can get through. Nevertheless, the course is very well maintained and offers a nice golfing experience.

Beautiful Fuerte golf course
Reviewed February 27, 2023
I would not compare the place with other places in the Canary Islands. That would be unfair, because vegetation and water availability are simply special here. The course is in good condition given the circumstances. Fairways neat except for a few places, greens fast and well maintained. The course is not so easy to play because bunkers and water hazards are sometimes very tricky. The wind makes it even more interesting. But you can safely forget the condition of the bunkers. Either put the ball out or chip.
Overall nice to play for a relaxed round with equally relaxed mostly British players. We would always recommend the course for a golf holiday - supplemented by the neighboring course "Las Salinas".

Beautiful and friendly golf course
Reviewed February 17, 2023
We played the golf course a total of 8 times in February 2023. The fairways and greens were well maintained but fast. Straight play is required, otherwise the balls will find themselves in the water. Unfortunately there are only a few toilets (2) on the course. Overall the staff was very friendly. This also applies to the connected hotel. The overall package is right

Fuerte's most beautiful course..!
Reviewed January 6, 2023
I (HCP 7.6) have played the course 6 times and have to say that everything is very well maintained except for the hardly any sand in the bunkers. The greens and fairways are in very good condition. It's a pity that some lanes had to be shortened, because a couple of incorrigible "weak swingers" thought they were shooting carry over the villas. The extremely friendly starters Roberto and Sara deserve special mention..!!

If you play
Reviewed January 2, 2023
We played the course for the 3rd time in total. He is in a good condition. The staff is friendly, especially Roberto the starter. However, the quality of the rental clubs is to be criticized. For €35.00 per set (!) you can definitely ask for something better. The equipment belongs in the garbage. A good game was hardly possible with it. The same happened to our two teammates.

Unspectacular on the final approach
Reviewed November 20, 2021
We were on Fuerte in November 2021 and played all 4 golf courses on the island. None of the four comes even close to the places on Tenerife and Gran Canaria. If you are planning a pure golf vacation on Fuerteventura, you should better reschedule.
The Fuerteventura Golf Club is ranked 3rd out of 4th.
When we visited the fairways were not in good shape, with bare spots everywhere. The greens were good.
The bunkers were tough, you can't tell the content of sand. There weren't any rakes either, but they don't make sense here either.
The well-booked place, located directly at the Elba Palace Hotel, is extremely boring in terms of design. Absolutely unspectacular.
Greens and the next tee are sometimes dangerously close together.
You play under landing planes (the place is directly on the final approach) and past the main street with McDonalds. The nearby sea is rarely seen due to the hotels in front of it.
The course is flat and easy to walk.
We wouldn't play this golf course a second time.

Golf in March 2021
Reviewed March 16, 2021
We are on Fuerteventura for a week, including golf at the Fuerteventura Golf Club.
Despite the pandemic, the golf course is in very good condition.
All 18 holes very well maintained. The place has the big challenge that it is narrow.
You always have to play straight ahead.
Big scatter and the ball is gone.
But Fairwair is top green. The greens in very good condition.
But be quick. You have to fight the wind sxhon. Sometimes cross winds and tail winds.
The 16 and 17 go uphill. You have a wonderful view of the Atlantic.
Again and again we would play the course.

Better than average
Reviewed December 24, 2019
Played the course 3 times during my short vacation. With all due respect for beginners, I found the number of "bad" golfers disturbing, which you can play on the course, which is particularly demanding in windy conditions. Otherwise good fairways and relatively fast, well-kept and "honest" greens. It is a pity that the tees have been moved far forward, so that the yellow space will be relatively short. What white is much more exciting. Good driving range, uncomplicated and friendly pro shop. All in all, a place with which you can "overwinter".

Wild West Golf
Reviewed December 17, 2019
Unfortunately, today's visit and the round was overshadowed by an inept ranger, bad rental equipment and a game abandonment.
The system itself is quite ok. Our tea time was at 11 a.m., game operations were limited. Unfortunately the vending machine at hole 8 does not work. So there was a short break after hole 9. Then on the fairway of hole 10 a blatant violation of the rules by another two-flight. We were on the fairway on the third hit when another ball almost hit me. The reason for this is obviously an overzealous youngster who also rushed a dark-skinned ranger at us. There was actually a couple from China behind us, but they kept patiently freezing.
The ranger directed us from the fairway so that he could work through this double flight. When asked about the very dangerous way of playing, the ranger said extremely disparagingly about us and directed us off the track.
We have a lot of understanding for fast players and have let faster players on the tees in the first 9 holes. The fact that the ranger supported this Wild Westgolf and expelled the paying guest from the fairway after a clear danger from others made us think. So we stopped the game.
In fairness it must be said that we received half of the green fee back. Otherwise no comment was given...
The double flight was strangely enough when we left the course at hole 4. So clearly not compliant.
This is how the club doesn't make friends...

OK
Reviewed November 6, 2019
At least the fairways are in good condition and the ball is not constantly in a bald spot.
Fairways partly well laid out, with hole 12 a par 3 was good.
Greens good, but unfortunately a little too slow. Too bad about hole 17 that was due to the built too close to the fairways houses extremely shortened.
Yellow at par 72 5,844 m long and fair to play.

Nice, demanding island place
Reviewed March 24, 2019
We (single-Hcps) were on Fuerteventura 1 week in mid-March and played the course 2 times. About the place state, I was pleasantly surprised. The greens were spotless, the fairways in good condition, only off the lanes it was rather difficult, which is ok due to the limited amount of water. Otherwise, the holes at the beginning are rather difficult, especially if the terrain is off to the right and the head wind is blowing noticeably from the left front. But the layout is quite varied. There is a deduction for the last 2 holes that have to be played by the children's tees because the houses were built so close to the place that it would be too dangerous to play from the back. The secretariat was friendly, the restaurant was also very nice, snacks were OK. Training options are also ok, with wide range, pitching and putting green. Priced € 72, - (including 10% Sheraton discount) also in the frame. The place was well booked, but still in 4 hours to play.

All in all, good.
Reviewed February 13, 2019
Here on the course began our golf addiction! Here we had the first time racket in the hand. Well, several years later, we found back where it all started. After more than 600 played places you have experienced one or the other highlight and in comparison, this place is simply rated too high for us. Nice and friendly was the reception. Everything went smoothly. On 2.2.19 was also still really stormy and fresh weather, with which one had to fight. So, due to the wind, one or the other ball went over the borders. The course is not very demanding and is very similar to Salinas next door. Even the price asked makes you think about it, but later on you start playing golf to make a round on the Salinas for a little money. This was not offered to us here.
Despite everything, we play the course again as soon as we are in the area and if it should be a cruise...

Beautiful parkland course
Reviewed February 11, 2019
We played the course in March 2018. Despite the early season and the partly stormy wind each round was fun. The greens are fast but fair. The water hazards and doglegs make the course very varied. The game pace was high enough on all days, there were practically no waiting times. Reception and especially the starters are very friendly.

Beautiful place with adjacent buildings
Reviewed February 1, 2018
Lies next to the Salinas and both places are of course very similar. 17 and 18 are higher and you have beautiful views of the sea.
On some tracks villas and bungalows were built very close to the square.
Hotel Elba and Sheraton guests can take the free shuttle to the square in a few minutes. Twilighttarif can be booked from Germany and this is to be recommended, since everyone wants to get out at 14.00 o'clock, so that in January and February the night does not come before the end of the round!
No possibility of shoe and racket cleaning; Gastro not tested because shuttle was waiting.
I liked it. Do not go to Fuerteventura again because of golf.

In F. I think the zweitgepflegteste Course (Las Playitas). Not much vegetation, topographic good walkable. It lacks orderly startup procedure. Otherwise, given the climatic conditions neatly maintained, for the beaten track (eg between bunkers and greens) we are probably responsible golfers!
Hoyo 19 (= bar) extremely slow and unmotivated service. Proshop good, but especially with balls rather the plight of many players taking advantage.

OK for Golf Vacations
Reviewed January 6, 2016
Place plays herself of Yellow not easy fairways and greens (fast) are well maintained, the bunkers missing unfortunately the sand, you chipt it better.
Unfortunately, too many villas come lanes close, so at least the last two tracks defused (shortened) had to be. For entertaining holiday rounds but all ok, driving range is fine, a pitch / chip green and a putting green complete. From White also higher sporting claims should be operated. In high season it is better to play Twilight tariff of 40 euros from 14h, 4h playing time are then feasible, the place is easily walkable.
Clubhouse is ok, on the wall greets Martin Kaymer with dt. Choice of 2005. The most landing aircraft disturb mE only slightly. For variety, can serve the neighboring space. The attached hotel is ok, food even better, rooms average, as noisy.

Good experience
Reviewed September 30, 2014
After I had previously taken three places on the island of Fuerteventura Golf Club 1 second Golf Club Salinas de Antigua Golf Playitas third in appearances I have decided for the first me since he both landscape (at least some greenery and trees) as well as the location status made the best impression. I was not disappointed although here must be a few comments.
Pro: when the conditions (desert climate) well kept place with considerable clubhouse, reasonable length of the fairways, some challenging tight fairways forden much precision and good greens on the ground at the time, therefore, little visited no scramble or wait.
Twilight green fee from 14:00 for 25 € (18 holes)
Cons: some water hazards are drought fallen victim and rather dry trenches, bunkers have sometimes very little sand, due to the proximity to the airport but very low flying aircraft with the appropriate aircraft noise
Conclusion: you can play if you is not very high CLAIMS THAT price-performance ratio but in any case

Not worth more
Reviewed February 18, 2013
Have space for mid-February 2012 played three times. Up on the greens, which can still be described as somewhat, the place has not much to offer positive. Poorly maintained, very many people, horrible bunker.
To play from the plant with the many vacant and unsold cabins no place that is worth. The only good thing was the weather, but it's worth it then, because otherwise you can not at this time rather play.

The only proper golf course on the island
Reviewed November 29, 2012
Tastes can be so different!
I can not connect my prescribing at all.
Was end of November 2012 on Fuerteventura and have played all three places.
Worth the full green fee is only this!
Very nice, grown plant, many tall palm trees, a nice total area. Only the many, partly vacant houses in the vicinity of the first image the fairways murky - it prove the villas above the golf course (Gruen 17/18 tea) but that it is also stylish.
To the place:
Very varied created many doglegs, water, some very long par 3. Fantastically, the discount of 18 far above the clubhouse (including a very stylish hotel).
The Gruen I was satisfied solely the bunkers do not go at all and here I subscribe to my prescribing: It is inconceivable how enough can not have sand in the bunkers on an island like Fuerteventura with miles of sandy beaches - this is true but for all 3 places of the island.
Otherwise, I really enjoyed it here. 2004 Spanish Open was played well here and I can, in contrast to the other two squares imagine very well here.
By far my favorite in Fuerteventura!

Tight, slow greens, no bunkers
Reviewed November 7, 2012
One Vorneweg - who wants to take a golf vacation in Fuerteventura is perhaps at the wrong address, the neighboring islands have a higher space density, there are only 3 places, 2 of them next to each other...
In November 2012, presented to the court in average condition of the Fuerteventura GC, the tracks are okay, the very dry climate requires a certain type of grass that is still green even in rain-free time. Putting green and driving range are fine, Token (50 balls) for 3, - € very fair.
The course can be run well, a trolley or even card is not absolutely necessary. Only greater distance between strenuous uphill green 17 and Tee18. Otherwise mainly flat terrain, numerous doglegs (usually to the left) - some tracks, however, are so closely on the houses that you may already be nervous off the tee. At the 17th (par 5), probably because of the discount was routed good 100 meters forward, the houses on the right, all on a crazy high fence - seemed even more rich.
What mM did not go to, the condition of the bunkers - as good as any sand in it (because of the wind?) - That's a lot of boulders and stones. So more of a dirt road than a bunker. while there was enough sand on Fuerteventura but really... This bunker shot for every venture for the equipment and the result of the blow...
Water comes into play on some tracks (at level 1 and 2 are the same but a very deep dry moat), but the other channels are all quite flat and run a little water, some are even completely dried.
The greens are in rather poor condition, very soft and extremely slow. Pitch marks are not fixed like - you wonder with which the label is predominantly traveling from the UK or Scandinavia golfers have grown up.
For me the most beautiful train 18, the elevated tee dogleg to the left, through the amended discount to the lower left almost a blind strike, if you will abbreviate something... Green back at the clubhouse.
For November, when it is too cold in D, Fuerteventura may be an alternative, but because of the generally prevailing wind is of course not easy to play and the proximity to the houses (many seem to be empty-result of the housing bubble?) is not very attractive.
Conclusion: too expensive for me, even if the price obtained by email mostly "locals" (66, - €). To play nice (but more compact) is the Las Salinas next door for the same price.

Gorgeous golf posh without fuss
Reviewed August 15, 2009
If you are one of those golfers who survive the cold and wet months from November to March is difficult without serious withdrawal symptoms, here's a suggestion for goodness, neither your wallet nor strained your patience. The purse because the golf on the sunny Canary Island of Fuerteventura is not only fantastically beautiful but also affordable. And the patience? Well, if you are short and decided spontaneously, you can have an hour after landing in Puerto del Rosario hit the first balls, for the Fuerteventura Golf Club, the first on the island at all, now is located eight kilometers from the airport. Removed.
The year-round playable golf course for 18 holes with a par of 70 includes just over 6000 meters. Up to hole 17 and 18 it is largely just created and has three lakes, which are connected by attractive, but sometimes sneaky streams. Paths for Baggies, a spacious clubhouse with golf shop, locker rooms, bars and restaurants as well as a tee area with 50 basis points, putting green and other greens for training and whipping out from the bunker complete the program. For nature lovers and romantics it pays on a successful climb to the 18th hole to take a short breather: The view from up here on the sea and the whole area is breathtakingly beautiful.
To come back to the patient, Who now reluctant to basically slow playing behind four-Flights and finished his 18 holes rather quickly, which should neither attack on weekends, even in the high season to the club. No later than mid November and then continued until mid-March, when it is most uncomfortable in Germany, the Fuerteventura Golf Club shows its most attractive side: "When you want to play like" you can be friendly in demand and in the best take can reserve tee time. (Except for Christmas or Easter, of course. Since "crumpling" it is even there.)
The whole thing also goes for the internet or e-mail in advance. Who ever sets from Germany when he wants to play golf, saves and can rebook still in the emergency on-site at no additional cost, when things do not fit.
Posh? No, that does not match the Island Golf Club. Although it is pointed friendly but decided to correct dress, but that was about all. The tone is friendly, the staff also. This can go so far that the new Marshal collects not only forgotten the hole night clubs and brings. No, he puts him right back in the right bag that is kept for the duration of the stay on the island for less money in the basement of the clubhouse. And for an informative chat, he then also still time.
Those who come to play golf to Fuerteventura in the first place, which should if possible be quartered in one of the hotels in Caleta de Fuste. Voted this context, the family-friendly ELBA SARA, just two kilometers from the golf club and to an hourly shuttle bus with just that. Who lives here, plays golf at a preferential price. Another plus: the hotel is located next to a large shopping center with many shops, several theaters, a well-stocked supermarket and many inexpensive restaurants, so even the "après golf" is not boring.
Who wants to live a more direct, rents a room right at the Elba Palace Golf. Dense and beautiful as it gets, as the elegant, well-run hotel is located directly above the Pro Shop.
