Hard work and attention to details have come up trumps for Golf Las Americas, the popular Tenerife course has been voted the best golf tournament host for Spain by leading event organisers Deporte y Business. The major coup is a boost not only for the course but also for the growing reputation of golf tourism in Tenerife. The showpiece tournament that caught the eye was the Tenerife Ladies Match Play held in June. Trying a new format could have been tricky but the professional approach of the course staff and the courtesy and expertise shown to the media, players, and spectators made it a huge success. All these factors were considered by the voting panel as well as the overall friendly and welcoming feel of the competition.
The award will be presented in Madrid, Golf Las Americas manager Joan Pifferer is immensely proud of the accolade and paid tribute to all those who made it possible. ” It’s incredible to win this new award, it’s a great source of pride to feel that a top company like Deporte & Business, a leader in golf tournaments, has rewarded the efforts we have put in at Golf Las Americas. This year has been a unique opportunity to stage the Tenerife Ladies Match Play, we were very pleased with the way it went but never thought we would get such an honour as this prize. I’d like to congratulate my team here at Golf Las Americas for making this award possible. ” In the meantime Golf Las Americas will continue to maintain its high standards for the thousands of keen golfers that enjoy playing the course all year round.
