The Tecina Golf Course, located on the island of La Gomera, was designed by Donald Steel, who was also responsible for the New St. Andrews course, ampong many others. This eighteen-hole, par- 71 course covers an approximate area of 545.000 square metres with an overall length of 6,205 metres.
Three hundred thousand square metres have been devoted to the playing area, while almost exactly a third is dedicated to landscaped gardens and paths. The location of the course on the slopes of Tecina with spectacular wiews of the valley and the Atlantic Ocean with the majestic Mount Teide in the distance as well as the varied local vegetation guarantees golfers a unique experience.
In the upper part of the course there will be native plants typical of the more arid areas of the island. Then, as you descend, you will come across ever more luxuriant vegetation until you reach the tropical species and fruit trees in the vicinity of the Hotel Jardión Tecina. The 169-metre Fourth incities the golfer to drive over the Tapahuga ravine for a tough par three, while the 337-metre Tenth is worthly of special mention for its length and layout: the tee is all of forty-five metres abouve the levele of the green, offering players an unforgetable panorama of the Lomada de Tecina with the Atlantic as a backdrop.
There are no buildings of any kind on the course so as to ensure uninterrupted views of the sea, the mountains, he slopes and the local plant life. The Club House´s aim will be to provide a cosy atmoshere for our players. A country cottage style Club House will be installed near the Driving range, the Putting green and the Chipping green.
