The Fuerteventura Golf Club at Calete de Fuste. See www.fuerteventuragolfclub.com

This championship course hosted the Spanish Open on the PGA European Tour in 2004. You have a good view of this course from your master bedroom balcony. You can walk there in 15 minutes or drive there in under 5 mins. The course also has a golf academy with driving range, short game area, and putting green. It is open from 8am to about 7pm. You can hire everything you need. However, I have a set of clubs at the house for your use. You are welcome to use them, provide your own balls, glove, tees, shoes please. The clubs are Taylor Made woods and Powerbuilt irons. The green fees at this course are very modest, even in high season (winter months). Also, it is a very quite course. It is the quietest tour course that I have ever seen, and one of the cheapest. You can almost hit two balls on every hole if you like and you won’t get paired up with a stranger if you don’t want to. They are happy to allow solo play.

Alternatively, if it is company you crave, and you want to play a medal round. You will be made most welcome by the Correlejo Golf Society, who play medals every Tuesday and some Saturdays / Sundays. You can even join as a ‘country’ member. They are a bona fide club and many of the office bearers are resident entertainers (Elvis etc) on the island. They run trips to Jandia Golf etc also.

Free Resort Golf Bus (Click here for photos >>) 

You will recognise this bus, it has a picture of the Fuerteventura Golf Club on the side. This small mini bus operates free of charge and will move you about the resort. You wont be surprised to hear that it terminates at the Fuerteventura Golf Club (4 star hotel). It is worth getting off here and going for a drink in the central gardens within the hotel – it is stunning and they want to see you – don’t be put off by the plush surroundings and apparent formality. More importantly, one of its main pick ups is outside the Atlantico Shopping and Cinema complex. From here it will take you back in to the main street in town, stopping off at a few of the larger hotels on the way. From the centre of the town you could walk back to Alta Vista or take the noddy train. There is a timetable in the information folder at the house.
