Fuerteventura Golf Course
Fuerteventura is not well known as a Golfing destination at present, but it soon will be with the island under going a number of new courses. Pure Vacations only features and pre-books the main course below simply because this one is where we believe most of your golfing will be played but you will find plenty of alternatives available on the island.
Fuerteventura's first golf course, the Fuerteventura Golf Club was completed in 2002 and played host to the Spanish Open two years later in 2004.
Located in the resort of Caleta de Fuste, the course was designed by Juan Catarineu who carefully considered local conditions of warm strong Atlantic wind in the design. The 18-hole, par 70 Championship Course features large greens (average of 614 square metres) and fairways of up to 45 metres in width.
The course generally has a good balance of challenging and on occasion easier holes with the wind built into the design making them fun to play. There are also several water features to contend with. The dominating breeze comes from the north, and when it blows strongly, it converts the course into a real challenge for player's skill and certainly leads to a lot of smiles on occasion. The course has many trees, but not on the fairways.
There is a Driving Range on site.
