[2024 Comarca de Isora ] Travel Guide for Golf Costa Adeje (Updated Nov)

Golfo Italiano

We took a short (25 min) taxi ride from our hotel (Ritz Carlton Abama) to play the Adeje to mix things up golf wise and we were glad we did. The weather as you can see from the pics was a little overcast but added drama to the stunning scenery that surrounds Adeje GC. With the ocean along one side and the mountains as a backdrop it is really stunning but can get a little breezy at times. Weather aside our experience was a good one albeit it got off to a shaky start. Mrs L fairly new to the sport is fairly nervous playing with others, especially people she hasn't yet met. I think we all suffer first tee nerves from time to time, I suppose its just that we all want to get off the tee showing we can at least hit a semi decent shot. However the last thing any novice needs is the pressure of playing with single handicap golfers, its no good for the novice and likewise Im sure not enjoyable for someone with a single figure handicap? Anyway the course was extremely busy (think it was around a BH weekend early Dec) we sat in our golf cart adjacent to the starter hut nervously waiting to see our playing partners. A buggy pulled up behind with two young men in it, who certainly looked like golfers and as I got out of my cart to introduce myself saw they were heading for the 'championship' tee! "Oh I exclaimed, playing of the big boys tee eh?" introducing myself at the same time. They were very polite and went to explain one of them was an Italian pro marking a card, which immediately put the willies up Mrs L (figuratively speaking) We had to wait a while for the group ahead to clear as it was obvious this pair could strike the ball a country mile and with us playing off the forward tee wait for them. I was delighted to see my novice golfing better half nail her drive down the first to relive and nerves / tension and we both enjoyed a great round of golf. After a slow start on the first few holes, which saw us waiting a while on each tee the group in front sped up and it turne #themepark#zoo#nationalpark#lakes
