Golf Costa Adeje Sustainable Anniversary

Golf Costa Adeje Sustainable Anniversary
In honour of the quarter-century since it was developed from a former banana plantation into one of the best golf courses in the Canary Islands, Golf Costa Adeje had its 25th anniversary celebration on October 3rd this year.

In that period, the course has undergone a remarkable transformation, becoming a symbol of excellence for golf holiday tourists in Tenerife. The number of visitors has climbed continuously and has surpassed those from 2022, before the pandemic even began.

Although the club’s initial clientele consisted of English and German speakers, it has lately seen an influx of Central European golfers, including those from the Netherlands, Belgium, and France, as well as Eastern Europeans from the Czech Republic and Slovenia.

The 2003 Spanish Open was a turning point event that solidified the Golf Costa Adeje reputation. The club’s history will never remain comparable due to the participation of renowned national figures like Severiano Ballesteros, Miguel Ángel Jiménez, and Sergio García.

Afterward, 2005, 2008, and 2009 were the years that women’s golf took centre stage at the European Ladies Open, which was hosted by the Ladies European Tour.

Even if the 2020 pandemic presented some obstacles, Golf Costa Adeje not only got back to work, but they were even more determined than before. In 2021, the club hosted the Canary Island Championship in May and the Tenerife Open in April, both of which were European Tour events.

The World Corporate Golf Challenge, a prominent amateur golf competition, has also held its finals at the club for the previous two years.

Some of the most distinguishing features of Golf Costa Adeje are its prime Canary Island location and the reliably pleasant weather that it experiences throughout the year. But its stellar reputation is due in large part to the hard work of its employees and the money it has invested in machines and technology. Golf Costa Adeje is devoted to the future of golf sustainability practise and has made a significant contribution to Tenerife‘s quality tourism via its dedication to continual improvement and the creation of new initiatives within its facilities.

The organisation is devoted to golf’s ecological sustainability since its members are responsible for mitigating human activity’s negative effects on the environment and our finite resources. The creation of an environmental department has led to a recent uptick in activity. Commitments to continual improvement in all areas of sustainability are embraced to strengthen sustainable management. The use of solar energy in machines and buggies, the implementation of an effective irrigation system with clean water, and the adoption of measures like the eradication of plastics are all part of this.

Camiral Golf Sustainability Efforts

Camiral Golf Sustainability Efforts
Formerly PGA Catalunya Resort, Camiral Golf & Wellness is now committed to golf sustainability, especially for your golf holiday in Costa Brava, and has begun a thorough three-year strategy to execute new projects. In addition to improving the resort experience for guests, these measures will cut the use of treated irrigation water by 35%.

The new measures include changing the grass on both golf courses, reducing irrigation areas, and exploring innovative irrigation system options. They build on previous sustainability efforts at the Stadium Course and Hotel Camiral, which included establishing a photovoltaic panel park on the hotel roof for green energy.

Camiral Golf & Wellness, widely regarded as the best golf resort in Spain and a stop on the European Tour, places its emphasis on environmentally conscious water management. CEO David Plana praised the company’s dedication, which began with the opening of the first golf course in 1999 with the use of 100% recycled water for irrigation.

This three-year project, which the CEO estimates will drastically reduce water consumption by at least 35%, demonstrates the resort’s dedication to responsible golf course management. This endeavour further demonstrates their dedication to improving their client experience, as pointed out by David Plana.

Earlier this year, Camiral Golf & Wellness was recognised on the ‘Green 100’ list, which showcases the best environmentally conscious golf courses in Europe, by Golf World magazine.

Tall Fescue was planted on the resort’s greens in 2022, and in 2023, the native drought- and heat-resistant Bermuda Celebration will be used on the tees and in the surrounding areas.

In July 2023, the first phase was completed, according to David Bataller, agronomist director at Camiral Golf & Wellness. This phase features a change in grass variety for tees and surroundings, inspired by the Augustas National in the United States. The grass varieties that were introduced, such as Tall Fescue, Bermuda Celebration, Paspalum Platinum, and Bent Grass, are not only of high quality, but they are also resistant to pests and illnesses, and these varieties were used on the fairways at Augustas.

As part of its dedication to sustainability and environmental consciousness, the Camiral resort works tirelessly to keep its championship courses in immaculate shape. The environmental responsibility and long-term viability of the golf course will be maintained through the use of advanced technology, sustainable methods, and collaboration with in-house biologists. Further evidence of the resort’s commitment to environmental preservation is its 2020 IAGTO Sustainability Award, GEO Certified accreditation, and recognition from the STRI Group.
