Family Hotels in Tenerife with Golf Courses
6 family-friendly hotels with golf in Tenerife . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Tenerife lets a golfing parent play through the winter while the children have kids' clubs, pools and beaches, and the island's courses are spread between the south-west resorts and the green north coast. The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama has its own Dave Thomas course and a daily Ritz Kids programme. In Costa Adeje, Bahía del Duque arranges tee times at Costa Adeje Golf five minutes away, and Royal Garden Villas sits right beside the same course. Barceló Tenerife is a short walk from Amarilla Golf in the south, while Hotel Puerto Palace in Puerto de la Cruz is the base for Buenavista Golf.
Tenerife has two faces. The dry, sunny south-west around Costa Adeje and Playa de las Américas holds most resorts and several golf courses, while the greener north coast around Puerto de la Cruz has banana plantations, black-sand beaches and the Lago Martiánez saltwater pools designed by César Manrique. Between them rises Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, inside a UNESCO-listed national park that makes a striking day out for the whole family.

⛳Why Tenerife works for golfing families
A golf holiday with children works when the course is close and the rest of the family is busy without the golfer. The hotels below differ in how far the first tee is, how the kids' clubs are organised by age, and whether the setting is a big resort, a private villa or a town on the north coast.
The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama is the only hotel here with a course on its own estate. The Abama Golf course, designed by Dave Thomas, lies inside the private grounds about 20 minutes' drive west of Costa Adeje, so the golfer never needs the car. The Ritz Kids programme runs every day with separate tracks for ages 4 to 8 and 9 to 12, which helps when siblings are far apart in age, and the beach below the cliff is reached by a free funicular. For a family that wants space, calm and golf on the doorstep, it is the most self-contained choice on the island.
Two Costa Adeje options keep golf five minutes away and the beach close by. Bahía del Duque sits in subtropical gardens above Playa del Duque, with the Castillo del Duque kids' club for ages 4 to 12 and partner tee times at Costa Adeje Golf, five minutes away. Royal Garden Villas, an all-villa 5-star right beside the Costa Adeje Golf course, gives each family its own villa with a private pool, garden and barbecue, and the concierge confirms cots, baby safety gates and babysitting on request. The first suits families who like a resort; the second suits parents of babies who want privacy.
In the south, Barceló Tenerife in San Miguel de Abona is built for golf. The 5-star all-inclusive is a sister property of Amarilla Golf, a direct walk to the course and about ten minutes from Tenerife South airport. Its all-inclusive package covers green fees at Amarilla and Golf del Sur through the resort, and there are three pools, a U-Spa with a kids' pool and an evening animation team for ages 4 to 17. H10 Las Palmeras in Playa de las Américas is the beach alternative, with direct access to Playa del Camisón, three Costa Adeje courses within 15 minutes and the Daisy Club for ages 4 to 12.
Hotel Puerto Palace takes the family to the north coast, in Puerto de la Cruz. It is about 30 minutes from Buenavista Golf, set between the mountains and the sea at the north-west tip of the island, and around 50 minutes from the southern courses. The hotel has three pools and a kids' club run by Tenerife Animation, and the Lago Martiánez saltwater lagoons are right next door on the seafront promenade. For families who prefer a real town, greener scenery and a cooler climate to the resort strip of the south, it is a good base, with golf as a day out.
Parent's take
If golf on the doorstep matters most, I would choose The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama, because the Abama course is inside the estate and the Ritz Kids programme splits children into two age groups every day. With a baby, I recommend Royal Garden Villas instead: a private pool, safety gates on request and Costa Adeje Golf right beside the villa.

Royal Garden Villas is an all-villa five-star beside the Costa Adeje Golf Course, and each villa has its own private pool, garden and barbecue, giving families with a baby real privacy.

Why families love The Ritz-Carlton Tenerife, Abama
I recommend the Ritz-Carlton Abama to golfing families who would rather not drive to a course every day: the Dave Thomas-designed Abama Golf course is on the estate. The Ritz Kids programme runs daily with separate groups for ages 4 to 8 and 9 to 12, and a free funicular takes you down the cliff to the beach. The resort is a 20-minute drive west of Costa Adeje.
Bahia del Duque
Avenida Bruselas
Wonderful
674 reviews
Bahia del Duque sits on six hectares of subtropical gardens above Duque Beach in Costa Adeje, with five outdoor pools, a Castillo del Duque kids' club for ages 4 to 12, and partner tee times at Costa Adeje Golf 5 minutes away. The Victorian-style village layout splits the resort into 22 lodgings, so families can find quiet wings even when the property is full.

Why families love Bahia del Duque
We stayed seven nights in October with two kids aged 6 and 9. The kids' club ran 10 to 5 with a separate baby section, and we booked tee times at Costa Adeje Golf for three mornings — buggy and clubs included in the resort's golf package. The 6-year-old started putting lessons at the resort's mini-course on day three. Beach access through the resort gardens was the favourite part for the kids.
Hotel Puerto Palace
Doctor Cobiella Zaera
Excellent
5,279 reviews
Hotel Puerto Palace is the family pick for the lush north coast in Puerto de la Cruz, 30 minutes from Buenavista Golf and 50 minutes from the southern courses. Three pools, a kids' club run by Tenerife Animation, and a beachfront promenade with the historic Lago Martiánez saltwater lagoons next door. Buenavista Golf shuttles run on request.

Why families love Hotel Puerto Palace
Five nights in March with two kids aged 8 and 11. The north feels like a different island — greener, cooler in evenings, more local Spanish family scene. We drove to Buenavista Golf twice; the cliff-top course was the highlight of our golf week. Lago Martiánez right next to the hotel is a series of César Manrique-designed pools the kids loved. Great value compared with the southern resorts.
Barceló Tenerife
Calle Greñamora
Very Good
1,779 reviews
Barceló Tenerife is a 5-star all-inclusive sister property to Amarilla Golf in San Miguel de Abona, 10 minutes from the airport and a direct walk to the course. Three pools, a U-Spa with kids' pool, and an evening animation team for ages 4 to 17. All-inclusive package covers green fees at Amarilla and Golf del Sur via the resort booking desk.

Why families love Barceló Tenerife
Six nights in November with three kids 5, 8 and 12. All-inclusive worked well — kids ate at the buffet for any meal we missed during golf rounds. Amarilla Golf is a 4-minute walk through the resort gate, which meant 7am tee times without driving. The youngest joined a three-morning swim school at the kids' pool. Quietest of our picks; less Costa Adeje crowd.
H10 Las Palmeras
Avenida Rafael Puig
Very Good
1,422 reviews
H10 Las Palmeras sits in central Playa de las Américas with direct access to Playa del Camisón beach and three Costa Adeje courses inside 15 minutes. Three outdoor pools, a Daisy Club for ages 4 to 12, and the Despacio Spa Centre. Half-board includes the resort buffet and kids eat from a separate menu until 9pm.

Why families love H10 Las Palmeras
Four nights in late October with two kids aged 5 and 9. The 5-year-old hit the swimming pool every morning while we drove to Golf del Sur for two rounds and Golf Costa Adeje for one. Daisy Club opened at 10am which worked for our 8:30am tee times after a quick handover. Smaller property than the Adeje resorts but the central location meant we walked to dinner most nights. Best price-to-courses ratio of our picks.
