Golf courses are not only expensive to build but expensive to maintain,especially on such a small island as Tenerife, in the Canary Islands. The lack of rainfall means expensive water has to be used for daily irrigation. It therefore makes sense for developers to build real estate on the actual courses. The golfer and non golfer alike are prepared to pay for quality villas and apartments on golf courses. Not only will the property often afford panoramic views of the golf course, they are away from the tourist crowded resorts. Costa Adeje Golf course is amongst the most exclusive addresses in South Tenerife property. The villas here are luxurious to say the least, often with the private swimming pools directly overlooking the greens down to the sea and Costa Caleta. Amarilla Golf is definitely an area to invest in, with the development of the new marina there, it is being regenerated. Golf Del Sur remains a favourite to buy Tenerife property with many golfers and studios, apartments to detached villas are properties for sale here. Playa de Las Americas Golf is a great resort for the fly to let investor, as close to town, 18 hole course and many onsite facilities for the holidaymaker. If you are a fly to let investor, remember the golfing tourist expects to pay high rents for the convenience of course-side properties.Tenerife golf real estate is ideal for golfers, couples and families, most of the courses are resorts in their own rights, with shops, bars and restaurants onsite.
