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. See

You can view this
course from your master bedroom balcony at Calete de
Fuste. It adjoins the Fuerteventura Golf Club. It opened
in December 2006 and enjoys several water hazards, pecon
laza, and each hole tends to be set in hollows giving a
rolling type of landscape.

part of the island. It is in the south and will take

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
