The Course

Buenavista Golf opened in 2003 and is located on the north-western corner of the island of Tenerife. It was designed by Seve Ballesteros, and the course is laid out on cliff tops that overlook the Atlantic Ocean. It is surrounded by the Teno mountain range as well as the Atlantic Ocean. Buenavista Golf was recognized as the most spectacular and scenic golf course on the island.

The fairways are generally wide and forgiving but there is thick vegetation and rocks that follow the layout of the course. There are 5 greens that are close to the small cliffs of the rocky coastline with beautiful views of the breaking waves. The water hazards come into play on a number of holes like the 17^th hole.
The players will compete on the course that will be set up as a 5948 meters, par 71.
