Tierra del Sol Resort & Golf

Okay, admittedly conditions on the boxes and some greens is a bit tough but you should still go! You will enjoy the experience and it is worrh the “deal price” to play!

Tierra del Sol is an interesting and challenging layout located at the tip of Aruba island in an arid and desert like setting. Although rain squalls come and go rapidly on the island the desert like conditions are reflected in the conditioning of the course. Some areas on greens are in poor dry shape although they roll well. The dry and very windy conditions lead to difficult and challenging play that requires good course management, opportunities for errand shots and a course that plays longer than actual yardage. Lots of roll on many shots but not always where you want the ball to end up. Bunkers are coarse, compacted sand. Fun and different to play.despite its idiosyncrasies!

This is a great course layout and you can tell it used to be a gem, but not anymore. The conditions are TERRIBLE and for $159 plus tax it is theft. Greens are awful, fairways also awful. Horribly maintained.

Everything at the golf course is affected by the constant winds in Aruba. You have to play the wind, however when you’re with the wind it helps your shot. The greens are somewhat spotty as they dry quickly in the wind. The arid nature of the Aruban climate affects the fairways but it was what I expected.

The course’s overall landscape is beautiful! However the greens and fairways were in awful condition. They were completely dry and so bad that they effected putting. Great time away from the hotel, not worth full the price, would only recommend if you get discount from golf now. Free driving range.

Course was just ok. Some nice holes. Nothing exciting.

Love the course & the experience… could use some TLC … greens pretty beat up … no beverage cart & disappointed that fabulous 19th hole was closed .

The course has always been a little rough around the edges, but the condition of the fairways, greens, and cart is much worse than we have ever seen. They claim to have an issue with their irrigation system, but have a hard time seeing how they recover from this in the near future. With all that said, the prices are as high as ever.

We have played here on a regular basis, during our 2 week timeshare in November, but this will probably be our last time, unless we hear about changes.

Could be a great course, fairways and greens need some TLC

I owned a golf course in the United States for 31 years.

Tierra del Sol is a beautiful layout and a great test of golf. However, I have noticed on this trip to Aruba that there is a lack of water being used to maintain the lush green condition that I had witnessed in the past. I’ve been coming to Aruba for 29 years for at least six weeks a year, I’ve played golf two days a week. There has been a lack of course maintenance compared to past years. I thank you for this opportunity to express my love for Tierra del Sol golf course and my concerns.

Place was tremendous. Course was in good shape, the staff were tremendously helpful, and the rental equipment was decent. We lucked out big time on this day, as there was no one in front of or behind us. My wife and I were able to take our time and enjoy the natural beauty of the area. Would absolutely recommend for anyone staying in Aruba.

Greens a little dried out. Hooked up with a married couple and had a real fun time. Played in 3 hours and 30 minutes. Tricky playing in wind but adjusted to it and played to my handicap.. I’ll be back next year.

Good value for your money, thanks Tee Off. Much better than the Divi 9 hole. The winds make this a very challenging course, the staff is friendly.

This place is far from perfect but it’s a extremely enjoyable golf course. You can tell that at one time it was really top notch. I can tell you that the greens tees and fairways are good condition…. Looks like there were water features that are now dry.

Played TDS for the 2nd time on my Aruban vacation and was able to take advantage of a discount coupon that made the round very affordable. Great Staff, instantly on the course, Always Windy, Fairly Hot, in good shape. Hope to do it again a few more times before leaving in a week - if we can get good rates.

The course played a lot harder than expected with the wind

And hot hot hot

The staff was great

And we never had to wait for anyone

I’d definitely play there again!!!

Staff was so friendly, wish the course was. Extreme high winds, expect to lose balls, but prepare to pay if you come without clubs, gloves and balls. Very high priced for everything.
