Caleta De Fuste Golf Courses


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.


Caleta De Fuste’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 a few minutes from the sea 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 that have great views of the Atlantic ocean. The course offers a good balance of challenging and on occasion easier holes built into the design making them fun to play. There are also several water features to contend with including three large lakes connected by a stream and all come into play. Buggy paths connect all the holes.


The course has many trees, but not on the fairways. Practice facilities include a 50 bay driving range, club and buggy hire, a large putting green and a second green for chipping and bunker shots. The club house doubles as the 5 star Elba Palace Hotel with large pro-shop, changing rooms with lockers, a storage area and various bars, cafeterias and restaurants, sauna and swimming pool. There is an outside terrace and garden area. Green fees are 48 Euros for 18 holes and 30 Euros for nine.
