Please reply if you can.

I've played this course on many occasions and never felt comfortable asking where the bar was! Lovely course but sadly lacking hospitality talents. Great finish to the course.

3 stars with a lot of good will!

Phew, until you get a tee time :-(!
The place is full of older members. The design and appearance of the course and club is time-honored and very traditional!
The place needs to be maintained much better. Lots of long grass at the edge of the game. A redesign would give the old place a completely new shine; you can already feel the old flair on 4-5 holes.
The caddy master ensured that we were even allowed to play before our 8.30am tee time. The members line up in the morning!
However, if you say hello in a friendly manner and are a little careful, everyone, employees, members and local employees, are very, very nice!
After the round, 2 Capo, 1 beer and three huge pieces of lemon cake for €8.50! For this you get a plug connector from us :-)))!
Nevertheless, the course was the weakest on the island, even behind Amarilla! But if you love flair and old clubs, you should treat yourself to the quick motorway drive to the north, we didn't regret playing Real Tenerife too!

Pretty bad

The drama begins at the beginning. The tee time of 9:30 a.m. promised by phone and then confirmed by the club manager himself when paying collides with the tee time of 9:30 a.m. received from three old members on the Internet. Great lamentation. We were already ready at the tea box, so they boldly drive up. After a first hated (German) then reasonable agreement (Swiss) they let us play mercifully. Before that there was already a 3-way flight with old Spanish gentlemen who absolutely didn't want to let us (fast-playing golfers) through. They then block us the whole round with ghastly golf.
In the halfway house, the 2 flights sit in front of us, parleying. My partner politely asks if we could possibly play through. If it's out of the question, we're told snippy. Both the men's and women's flies then play in the ditch. Everything too short.
The forced break throws us even more out of rhythm.
And the buggies always leave them in front of the green and have to run back like that. Unfortunately, many players still don't understand this. The car belongs behind the flag! Too bad. And at every hole we have to wait. My partner lies down on the grass to sunbathe.
The course offers quite interesting golf. Only frustrate some blind deep ditch. Tee 17 and 18 from elevated pulpits: fun.
And: the restaurant is excellent and cheap! Excellent! Therefore not only 1 star.

All in all: A typical Member's Club (the only one in Tenerife) with unrepentant retirees. I've played 256 different courses so far: this one had the worst players of all. Better to avoid and avoid it.

Very nice park land course

We played the course in January 2022 and loved the layout of the course. A real parkland course with partly narrow tracks, embedded in the landscape. The old trees in the clubhouse really convey tradition and a 90 year old golf club.
The condition of the course for the beginning of January was really okay, as everywhere in the Canary Islands there is no rain or water, the fairways are not always perfect, but never in a bad condition as sometimes described. The greens are really tricky and never easy to putt, and also really appealing for January.
All in all, I give it 4.5 stars. The clubhouse and its drink prices are really the best I was able to experience in Tenerife. Cola and beer 2.0 Eur, Baraquito 1.50!!?
All in all, a varied golf course.

Pleasing friendliness

Compared to our last visit, a lot has changed for the better in terms of friendliness. We were warmly welcomed everywhere, the secretariat, caddy masters, starters and the other Spanish guests were extremely nice and friendly.
Place old and with the already known shortcomings such as the rather many bald spots, but to play well. Fairways otherwise okay, bunkers okay, greens soft but relatively fast, the divots are rarely repaired.
Unfortunately only 3 stars compared to 4 like last time, because, for whatever reason, fairway 17 was closed and a short par 3 was pushed into it.
Otherwise everything is okay, I liked holes 3,16 and 18 best today.
Hole 3, a steep par 4, defended with huge bunkers, hole 16 a great par 3, as well as the 18, a par 5.479 m long, from the raised tee you can already see the clubhouse, the green is with a perfect tee and a very good one second blow, achievable.
Gastro okay!

... old and short...

... this course is the first to be built on Tenerife - by the British. The first and oldest golf club in Spain can be found on the neighboring island - Real Club de Golf Las Palmas.

We are here for the second time after 2006 - due to Covid you have to look for the destinations that are possible.

The notes reveal that we were not that satisfied with the conditions, although we have a great affinity for old courses.

The layout is rather boring, there is hardly any real tension. However, it clearly corresponds to the zeitgeist of the founding phase. It is astonishing that the Spanish Open and several Canarian Open have already been played here.

The scorecard suggests a relaxed round, because the Hoyos are on average not even 320 meters long - par 71 - almost everything is straight Hoyos. The moats and terrain can spoil the score. Some hoyos were literally cut from the site. Target golf is a must, so the driver was hardly ever pulled out of the bag, long irons and small woods were enough to create a good par chance. Fairways bunkers do not matter, there are hardly any. We rate the par 3 as difficult, rather long and the greens only average. The greens are playing well, were slow today - dull.

The start on the first nine, as well as the second nine, begins uphill.

Care and maintenance is good, but not great.

It's an old course, that's how it feels, but it's fine.

Yes, communication needs development and is in our opinion okay. Our way of expressing ourselves in a foreign language also allows for misinterpretations.

There is a saying: "Just as you call into the forest, it sounds back".

Frustration evaluations are not appropriate, more on this in our ABAMA evaluation.

Underground behavior

If one is already being treated as a guest at the entrance of the golf club in front of a thick lattice on the front door by the security guards, one is for the first time inclined not to enter the club at all. Everything he made clear the guard: You could not just here, where our recommendations would be and there are rules that should be observed here. We just wanted to register politely.
At the reception a Spaniard, who supposedly spoke only Spanish and English, after half of the conversation in fluent German switched.
Courtesy, commitment and friendliness are unknown there.
My wife initially only wanted to play 9 holes - but only 18, otherwise she would prefer not to.
Thank you - no one needs such golf courses and such a behavior. We know golf from our club as a game and friends, not as a war between enemies.
We will not contact the club any further. Royal - that I do not laugh.

Not everything royal

First the positive: old place with beautiful trees, juicy, impeccable fairways, good and fast greens.
Hole 4 with tricky green and the par 3 of 16 I liked the most.
Positive also the extremely fast way of playing the "locals".

I did not like the many brown holes next to the fairways and the sometimes missing care next to the fairways.
Place not exciting, usually worth 3 stars, for the impeccable greens and fairways therefore 4 *

A classic

The Real is the oldest club on Tenerife, and you can tell that from the space design. The fairways rather narrow and not very long. A cart does it well in any case, from track 3 it goes uphill continuously until 11 or 12, then downhill again.

Highlight for me the great tee on track 17, where it is some Höhnemeter down with a great panorama.

Unfortunately, the place is not well signposted in some places, so we had to look for the next tea box once or twice.

As a big plus a very delicious & cute halfway house after the 9.

In general, I found the game here very relaxed, probably because many locals were traveling on the square.

Also Gastro and changing rooms were in order, although unfortunately the terrace on the 18th green was closed.

Well...

Well, old and venerable flat. Not a bad place. Some ups and downs. The cart has done well. This Tenerife Square we played for the first time. When vacationing around here, you might occasionally come back. From the south, but we will spare us the future. How exciting are railways, Geens and anything else not.

Golfing tradition among members tagged outside the resort facilities

The 18-hole course in the north of Tenerife near the capital is mainly played by local members. Guests are permitted only day of the week in the period between 8.00 und 12.20 clock clock. You should first ask a start time by phone or e-mail (online not possible). We've received on a Wednesday at 11.30 clock start time. At the time, there was already a lively game operation among members, but they left us alone for two on lap. Some members greeted them, others were us, even though we were dressed appropriately with long pants golfer, voted more critical; It is noted from view. The game speed was quick. The club has a long tradition it shows directly, but we were served in a friendly at the Secretariat in addition to the renowned Club House as guests. It pays to be reasonable green fee of 75, - € and there you go, up the mountain. That is, the course runs along from the first path up a slope. Not quite as ambitious sportsmen should take a cart. Cart or trolley you pay directly at the Caddy Master. It is positive that it again 9 lanes going downhill. The course itself has more or less a typical parkland layout with all kinds of obstacles. Nevertheless, higher HC should come fairly clear here. To achieve a certain level of length around the fairways off the tee or to play some smaller gorges should be available. A highlight is hole 17 where a couple of meters blindly down a slope from Mr. tee into the valley. The condition was, except for a few haircuts, very good. The course is a real alternative to the more tourist-oriented remaining courses in Tenerife.

10-2014 poor condition: shame!

The time-honored "royal" Real space is currently in malodor condition. Has the water supply fails? Many fairways are completely burned. The tee boxes in some cases completely bitten and knocked out. Repair with sod are inserted amateurish. Ghastly. The greens mostly OK, but partly also to dry and unkempt. Pitch Marks will be here by the players apparently systematically leave It looks as if the green keeper made than a month nothing. Very sad, because the place is nicely laid out in. In particular, from the 4th hole very exciting. And the tees 17 and 18 so spectacular fly down into the depths.
The value for money (185 € for 2 with buggy), it is unfortunately currently not worth it.
Run down!

Denigrating the staff cloakroom treatment to a guest of the party... of 28.12.13

Joaquín Rodrigo Cl 6. B
Urb Aguere
38,208 La Laguna

December 29,2013

Att. Don Raimundo Baroja Rieu
President of Golf Club

Dear Sir:

Sorry to get in touch with you to have knowledge of facts, unfortunate, that the party in this Society was held on the night of 28 to 29 this December and our daughter Silvia Mota Weapons, invited through a friend and daughter Partner, was the victim.

When our daughter Silvia was the wardrobe that was able to keep the clothes of those attending said party, the surprise is that a young lady in charge of this service, invites you to his coat, high economic and sentimental value and when they had delivered Silvia corresponding receipt that purpose Golf Club gives guests for after their custody will be returned as deposited there at the time, his coat is no longer there, it would have taken someone, somewhat surprising since the ticket was held by my daughter, her owner and is therefore incomprehensible that someone else had removed his coat with a ticket that did not belong.

The charge of wardrobe and despite the insistence of Silvia and her friends, all children of a member of the Club de Golf, insisted to the said charge, even repeatedly to look, please, nice and slow because what was happening I could not be possible.

At all times, the aforementioned charge wardrobe acted with complete disregard to the demand for this "young" people are not making them any attention and therefore are showing is invited to the Golf Club the most absolute contempt and all his friends insist, children partners, insistently asking him to look good, which always refused to do with an arrogant attitude towards them all.

No one gave them shelter, but I kept the ticket, which would make a later claim for us to recover the missing coat inexplicably, but his attitude at all times to these people was devalued and a lamentable lack of education.

We called our daughter, dead cold, crying and victim of his impotence before the arrogant attitude of the employee mentioned, what motivates her mother, was present at the Golf Club immediately about 7 o'clock in the morning. He attends a lady, I understand also that Society staff, red jacket, and he very kindly said to my lady's wardrobe is now closed but nevertheless very kindly, again, contributes to solving our problem. .. head to the cloakroom and the jacket was actually there.

Certainly, I am sure you will understand, we were outraged and our intention to what was reported that of filing a complaint with the National Police for alleged misappropriation of a garment of high economic value.

I'm not a member of the Golf Club, now I'm taking early retirement, but many times I have been invited to lunch in it for partners of the same and my clients, having always been the treatment by the staff, very correct and nice.

What's the matter? What are some children who claim? all with more than 20 years, the partners of the future, specifically my daughter is studying 3rd law and international relations with an outstanding academic record, ie, they are not children, are seniors, all exemplary students and education and irreproachable behavior, know all, and therefore no time degrading treatment is justified that the charge of the wardrobe gave them that night... is inadmissible.

I pray, appealing to the position he holds, the good name of the Company and to common sense, you take appropriate measures to behaviors like the last charge of the wardrobe to the guests tonight, my daughter and her friends, all children Partner not happen again.

Without further ado and thanks in advance for reading these lines, take the opportunity to greet carefully.

Pleasantly challenging

The club is still described as in 2010. Even in poor visibility and strong winds to play well. To the last hole always appealing tracks with great views. Already priced rather expensive at 85 EUR. But it's worth it.

Unforgettable experience.

The somewhat old-fashioned, but venerable interior of the clubhouse gives the club a sophisticated atmosphere. The staff was very friendly, the place to play despite some good repair measures.
The whole place was in good condition. Fairways, tees, bunkers seemed well maintained, only 2 greens were not in perfect condition. The topography is unique. Due to the mountainous conditions mostly very sophisticated cars and often breathtaking views.
I would play each time you visit the island again, despite the somewhat high price - but it's just always a memorable experience.
