'Golfers will love the Golf del Sur. And if you're not so sure about the golf, you haven't been forgotten either…'
Welcome to golf country. At the heart of the Golf del Sur lies a 27-hole championship course, with striking bunkers of black volcanic sand, and fairways lined with palms, cacti and local flora. An idyllic setting whether you're playing an international championship, or simply enjoying a round of holiday golf. There's a driving range for serious practice and crazy golf for the less serious player, too. And if one course simply isn't enough, it's no distance to the Amarillo course where you can enjoy fabulous views of Mount Teide while you play. However there's more to Golf del Sur than just golf. In the San Blas centre there's an abundance of shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants. But you won't find the type of party atmosphere here that you might expect in neighbouring resorts – the mood is quieter and more family orientated, with free entertainment laid on in the squares every evening. If you do crave dance-a-thon nights, then it's only 15 minutes to Playa De Las Americas and Los Christianos. It's a pretty walk along the rocky seafront from the harbour to the beach and you can choose your evening restaurant on the way. Other daytime pursuits for the non-golfer include watersports, horse riding and deep sea fishing. If you prefer to watch the windsurfers rather than join them, the sandy beach at Medano 8 kilometres away is a great spot to view the experts.
Sandwiched between the snow-capped peaks of Mount Teide and the glistening Atlantic Ocean, the resort's championship golf course is a dream destination for the world's golfers. The immaculately-maintained greens and fairways have provided the platform for a wealth of international tournaments including the all-important Tenerife Open. Just next door to this lush green oasis lies another PGA-standard course - Amarilla Golf - while a further five courses can be found within a 20 minute drive. For those who consider golf a good walk spoiled, there's tennis, bowling, scuba diving, snorkelling, whale-watching, karting, cycling and horse-riding available within the resort or just outside. Meanwhile, explorers among you will love Golf del Sur for its central location and excellent links. The motorway is within easy reach, taking you to the island's capital, Santa Cruz, scenic Los Gigantes and majestic Mount Teide within the hour.

Beaches
Golf del Sur may not have its own beaches, but there are plenty peppering the land nearby. And because Tenerife basks in perpetual sunshine you're certain to leave its sun-kissed shores sporting a healthy glow. Enormous sandy swathes yielding a wide range of watersports are located at Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas, while the international windsurfing destination of El Medano can be found 20 minutes away. Here you'll enjoy sinking your toes into the 3km stretch of sumptuous natural sands.
Eating out
A generous helping of restaurants can be found in the Golf del Sur area, serving up everything from traditional Canarian cuisine to the old British favourite - fish and chips! If you're tempted by the local cuisine, why not give papas arrugadas a try? They're potatoes cooked in their skins, with brine and salt - an accompaniment to many dishes and often eaten with mojo, a spicy sauce. Delicious seafood, fresh from the ocean, plays a large part in many local dishes and the nearby village of Los Abrigos is renowned for its tantalising fish restaurants. If Canarian cooking doesn't make your mouth water, then you'll find eateries serving Chinese, Indian, Italian, Spanish and Thai, to name but a few.
Nightlife
San Blas centre boasts a clutch of good quality bars and restaurants providing plenty of live entertainment for all the family. But if you like your evenings super lively, blaze a trail to the buzzing resort of Playa de las Americas, Tenerife's premiere party playground. Packed with bars, clubs and discos, this neon-lit tourist magnet will keep the music pumping long into the night. Neighbouring Los Cristianos is another lively resort that will really test your stamina.
Shopping
The pretty square of San Blas is scattered with tempting shops but if that's not enough to satisfy your appetite then head for Los Cristianos where you'll find plenty more places to relieve yourself of cash. Tax-free shopping means you can take advantage of cheap goods from perfumes to the latest fashion must-haves. If you're looking to take home more traditional Canarian crafts then keep an out for intricate lacework, exquisite embroidery, decorative pottery and handmade wickerwork for which Tenerife is well known.

This sleepy resort sits in the south of the island, just a 15 minute drive away from the bright lights and lively buzz of Los Cristianos and Playa de las Americas.
