Tecina Golf

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to Tecina Golf, and what's unique about its course design?

Getting to Tecina Golf is part of the adventure-you'll take a scenic ferry from Tenerife to La Gomera. Once there, you'll discover its truly unique "all downhill" layout, starting high and descending towards the ocean, which means incredible views on every single hole. We love how it feels like a continuous, exhilarating descent.

When is the best time to play Tecina Golf, and what's the weather typically like?

You can enjoy Tecina Golf year-round thanks to La Gomera's consistent climate, but we find late autumn through spring (October-May) offers the most comfortable temperatures for golf. Expect plenty of sunshine and gentle breezes, though the exposed nature of the course means a windy day can certainly add an extra challenge to your round.

What kind of challenge does Tecina Golf present, and are there any standout holes?

Tecina Golf offers a fair but engaging challenge, largely due to its dramatic elevation changes and the constant ocean breezes. You'll need to manage your club selection carefully on the downhill shots, but the reward is often a breathtaking view, especially on holes like the par-3 10th, where the green seems to float above the Atlantic. We particularly enjoy the strategic bunkering that keeps you thinking.

What practical advice do you have for playing a round at Tecina Golf?

We strongly recommend taking a buggy at Tecina Golf; while it's "all downhill," the distances between holes and the initial climb to the first tee make walking a real workout. Bring plenty of sun protection-hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen-as you're exposed to the sun for your entire round, and don't forget to factor in the wind when choosing your clubs.

Is there anything else worth experiencing around Tecina Golf or La Gomera?

Absolutely! La Gomera is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, so we highly recommend exploring Garajonay National Park's ancient laurel forests-it's a truly magical, misty experience unlike anywhere else. You should also take time to enjoy the local Canarian cuisine in San Sebastián, the island's charming capital, for an authentic taste of island life.
