A volcanic hillside on the Canarian Island of Gomera was
tranformed into a golf course opening for play in 2004. It was an enormous
undertaking but the finished outcome is a wonderful example of what can
be achieved with major engineering work given adverse and steeply sloping
site conditions.
The unique design has the 1st tee at the top of the course
allowing a gentle descent to the clubhouse one mile away with the ocean
in sight from all points. The inland views into the barrancos and up to
the mountains are equally impressive.
Hotel Tecina, owned and operated by the Fred Olsen Group,
makes for a luxurious oasis for golfers who wish to stay at the course.
