From this week, golfers holidaying in Tenerife have a new tool that will allow them to enjoy their favourite sport even more. The Council of Tenerife, through the Tenerife Tourism Corporation and its Tenerife Golf brand, have just launched the application Golf in Tenerife – Tenerife Golf Guide, the most comprehensive guide to golf courses and hotel partners on the island, available for Apple and Android devices so far.  

The guide is available in English and can be downloaded free for iPhone and iPad at the Apple Store and Google Play for tablets and smart phones with Android system. Created by Tenerife-based company Tosal Creative Projects, it features a selection of member hotels of the Tenerife Golf brand, a list that will be expanded gradually.

Golf in Tenerife – Tenerife Golf Guide provides information on services of interest to golfers, such as weather, transport companies and local golf stores. Each page of the guide provides contact details of all golf courses in Tenerife and La Gomera: their web and email, field map, game cards, image gallery and strategic advice on playing the most outstanding holes on each course. It also lets players connect directly to the golf course and hotel webs to make reservations plus it displays the GPS coordinates associated with Google Maps to make transfers easier to different courses and back to the hotel.

The platform has been developed with the aim of providing quality and distinction to the holiday sector and the promotion of golf tourism in Tenerife in particular, to differentiate the island from competitors, give prestige and enhance the destination’s reputation. Tenerife Golf Guide responds to the demands identified in a study of golf tourism in Tenerife and the magnificent potential of this market sector for the future of the island, which receives nearly 200,000 golf tourists a year.

 
Thanks to its excellent weather and great facilities, Tenerife is a unique destination in Europe to play golf 365 days a year. Good year-on-year figures for tourist arrivals of golfers to the island confirm that the Tenerife Golf brand is one of the most attractive, as Tenerife has become the favourite in the Canary Islands for European players.
