Extras
Fuerteventura is the closest Canary Island to the African coast, with only 100km separating the ‘Punta de la Entallada’ on its west coast from Cape Juby in Morocco, and is the second largest (after Tenerife) of all the islands. With 3000 hours of sunshine a year, the climate is very similar to Florida and Mexico, which are on the same latitude, making the island a great choice for some guaranteed winter sunshine – perfect for some relaxed holiday golf!

Designed by the renowned Juan Catarineau, this course offers a fine round of golf. The greens are well-protected by bunkers, lakes and streams. There are 2 par 5’s and the rest are par 4’s. The course is generally flat, with the exception of the 17th and 18th holes. The latter is undoubtedly the highlight – a par 4 dogleg, which drops downhill, offering wonderful views over the Atlantic Ocean en route.
Hotel to golf course approx 5 mins – Private transfer to golf course / shuttle transfer from golf course.

Clients will most likely find that their golf clubs are covered on their household insurance policy. Most policies cover a single item such as golf clubs for a period out of the country. However, clients should make very sure that they do have cover.
Most golf clubs have these items available for hire, however this is not always the case, so clients would be advised to check with us beforehand if they have any specific requirements.
Prices are approx & subject to change
We advise you to use a light golf bag when packing your clubs. We suggest you wrap a towel round the neck of the clubs to protect them and stop them rattling around whilst in transit. It is also important to then place the bag and clubs in an outer carrying bag, which can be purchased from any good golf shop.
Airlines charge for golf club carriage and prices vary dependant on the carrier. Please call for prices and details.
Golf attire during the day. We suggest smart casual for the evenings.
Golf shoes with soft spikes are required.
We suggest a Group Collection to cover transfer drivers, and hotel staff of €25.00 per person. Your Tour Leader will collect this on your behalf and distribute it accordingly, thus relieving you of the burden of who, when and how much to tip. The tipping of housekeeping will be left to your individual discretion (a small amount left in your room on departure should cover this and would be much appreciated). As is customary, ‘the hat’ will be passed around for the driver and guide on all optional excursions. For any meals that are not included in your itinerary, or taxi fares, your Tour Leader can advise of an appropriate % add on.
