Golf Del Sur, Tenerife is a thoroughly enjoyable 27
hole golf location (18 hole and 9 hole courses)
with eye-catching black volcanic sand in the
bunkers.
Designed by Pepe Gancedo, it has frequently
provided the backdrop for various top international
tournaments since it opened in 1987. In 1995, Golf
del Sur hosted the Shell Wonderful World of Golf
tournament which featured a head-to-head battle
between Ernie Els and Phil Mickelson.
Golf del Sur has also been the setting for two golf
driving distance records, both made by Britain's
Karl Woodward. He first set a new record with a
398-yard drive, then a few months later, he
managed to break the legendary 400-yard barrier
with a huge drive which sent the ball flying 408
yards.
