We had a week in a 3 bed Villa. The Villa was very spacious, all bedrooms en-suite plus an extra toilet off the living area. Garage carpaking for 2 vehicles under the Villa. Two entrances - one from the carpark with a circular staircase, and another ‘front door’ entrance with a few steps up to it. We loved the fact that the whole Villa can be opened up with sliding glass door overlooking the pool area. There is a sunshade and a ‘bean’ pool as the children called it, which they totally loved. The pool is not large but it is really nice. The Villa is well provided for in the kitchen area. As well as the obvious, there was dishwasher, washer, dryer, iron/boards, hairdryers in every bedroom. The only negatives were the aircon wasn’t great and hot water took a while to come thru, but tbh these were minor issues. The hotel restaurant was good, staff were really lovely. Hotel allows use of their enormous pool/kids area on check-in and out days, with towels supplied, lockers and showers etc.

First stayed in Anfi Opal Villa in 2013, and since then have stayed there 7 or 8 times. For me and us and for our use as a family holiday, this has been a perfect place where the villas have everything you need, a private pool and the option of having it heated which can be good in winter (cold in the sea). Tauro Grill down by the Spar store is a perfectly good grill restaurant, but if you are going to be there for longer than a week, I recommend a car so that you can drive a bit out to eat elsewhere. Work your way through the Tauro Grill menu quickly. The Spar store is small but has what you need, but it is a short drive (3 minutes) to Puerto Rico with several very good grocery stores. Especially recommend the Spar store in one of the two new centers in Puerto Rico.

We will be back here without hesitation.The villa was spacious, clean and had all the facilities and utilities needed. The surrounds were well maintained too.The pool needed to be heated as we went in December but was worth it.The villa was walking distance from a local Spar as well the main Anfi Emerald Club, and the staff of Anfi were always helpful. The main beach is a short drive away but there was enough parking and lots of taxis available. Many memories made here!

Luxurious, beautiful and secure. Cant recommend it more. Just perfect!!

When playing there you will have some fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Arriving at this impressive golf course, you have to admire the landscape and the amount of work and engineering it took to make this course magnificent. It boasts one of the most expensive holes in Europe, as half a mountain was removed with explosives to build the 5 tiered green of hole 8. On the picture below you can see hole 6 of the Par 9 golf course, which is also the Anfi Tauro signature hole.

And this is how it looked in 2000. The ridge of hole 6 is the top of the mountain above the gentleman in the white shirt.

The gentleman in the white shirt is Bjørn Lyng, the founder of Anfi. To his far right is Robert Von Hagge, the architect. This is the only time Von Hagge was actually on Gran Canaria in person to get an impression of the project. You can read the interesting project history, opening in a new window when you click on the Anfi Tauro Golf Project, a blog from Van Hagge’s associate Richard A. Barril.

The Anfi Tauro Golf Green Fees

There are two golf courses you can choose between, both equally impressive. On the Par 3, 9 hole chip and putt you can have a fast round of golf when you have only a couple of hours to play. The Championship Course is a spectacular golf course challenge. If you manage to play to your handicap you have played well.

The Accomodation on the Course

The Anfi Emerald Club Hotel is a luxury timeshare resort belonging to the Anfi Group, which is better known as Anfi del Mar. The Emerald Club overlooks the back nine of the course and is a perfect place to stay if you are coming just to play golf. Even though it is exclusively for the timeshare owners, there is a possibility that you can book a holiday there. The villas overlooking the golf course might be the right option for you:

The Anfi Opal Villas for 2 to six adults, each with their own swimming pool with modern style furnitures. This you can book by individual days. Cost about 350 Euros per day. Check the availability here… The Anfi Tauro Golf Villas are also a excellent option. These you can book weekly. The whole villa, sleep up to 6 adults, costs about 2,500 Euros per week. Check availability…

Tournaments in Anfi

Official tournaments on the Anfi Tauro golf course are mainly held in the summer and are open to anyone with a Spanish or Canarian golf federation card. If you do not own one of these cards, the course may allow you to play, but you will not be eligible to claim a prize if you should win.

There is also a friendly tournament every weekend organised by the course’s resident pro. This tournament is open for everyone and it is a Texas scramble 4 ball tournament. If you would like to enter this, you can put you name down on the list at the par 3 course/ driving range where the resident pro is based. The normal entry fee for this tournament is between 45 – 55 Euros which includes buggy and green fee. Plus 10 Euros extra towards the prize for the winning team.
