About Tenerife Golf Escapes

Twenty-five years
in travel. Nearly
twenty on this island.

This is the story of how Tenerife Golf Escapes came to exist — and why the trips we build are different to anything you'll find in a brochure.

Who We Are

Meet Lee Taylor —
the person behind
every trip.

Most golf holidays are built around availability, not around you. You pick from what's left, accept the tee times you're given, and make the best of it.

We do it differently.

I've spent twenty-five years in travel and the last fifteen focused on one thing — building trips from scratch that actually reflect what someone wants. Not what's easiest to sell. Not what's left in an allocation. What you actually want.

Tenerife is where this started for me personally. Our family has had a home on the island for nearly twenty years. My son has been coming here since he was a baby — he's eight now and already has strong opinions about which courses have the best buggies. We visit four or five times a year and hope, one day, to move here permanently.

That kind of connection to a place isn't something you can manufacture. It means your trip is built on knowledge that goes well beyond any brochure — the courses worth playing, the stays that actually deliver, and the corners of the island that most visitors never find.

Come with a full brief or come with a rough idea. Either works. The end result is the same — a trip that feels like it was made for you, because it was.

"Come with a full brief or a rough idea.
Either works."

The View From Home

Nearly twenty
years of mornings like this.

That photograph was taken from our garden. The course below is Golf del Sur — one of Tenerife's most established layouts, and the one we look out over every single visit.

We've seen that view hundreds of times. It never gets old. And it's the view that reminds us, every single visit, exactly why we built this business around this island.

Tenerife isn't just a destination we know about. It's a place we genuinely belong to. That changes everything about the quality of advice you get, and the quality of the trip we build for you.

Experience & Credentials

The numbers
behind the knowledge.

25
Years in Travel

Two and a half decades of building trips, solving problems, and learning what actually makes a holiday work.

20
Years on the Island

Our family has had a home in Tenerife for nearly two decades. We know it as locals do, not as tourists.

4–5
Visits Per Year

We're not here once a year on a research trip. We're here because it's where we go. Every visit adds to what we know.

11
Courses on Our Doorstep

Seven 18-hole courses, three 9-hole layouts on Tenerife, and one more a short ferry ride away on La Gomera.

On the Course

We don't just
organise golf.
We play it.

There's a difference between someone who books golf holidays and someone who actually plays the game. We're golfers. We've played these courses in every condition, at every time of year, and we know the ones that genuinely deliver and the ones that look better in the brochure than they play.

That means when I recommend a course, it's because I've stood on those tees myself — speaking from experience, not from a fact sheet.

It also means I understand what makes a great golf trip beyond just the courses. The right tee time. The right pace of play. The right 19th hole. I think about all of it.
