Fuerteventura Golf

Just eight kilometres away from the airport on the east of the island is Fuerteventura Golf Club. Designed in 2002 by renowned architect John Catarineu, the course has been laid out to make the wind – which is where the island is said to get its name from – the star if the show. Understanding the impact of wind on the player, the designer adopted broad greens and fairways up to 50 metres wide, but took care not to diminish the challenge wind brings to golf lovers.
