Golf del Sur is the main resort in Tenerife for lovers of bowls who wish to continue their sport on holiday, regardless of the time of year.

The Winter Gardens Tenerife Green Bowls international bowls arena is the number one bowling venue in the Canary Islands. It is situated in the Winter Gardens complex on the prestigious Golf del Sur resort and offers some of the best purpose built bowling facilities in the world, even providing floodlighting for the winter months. The bowling carpet is a “Mastergreen” carpet as is being used in India at this years Commonwealth games. It was laid by one of, if not THE best bowls carpet suppliers – Dales Sports Surfaces, England. All hire bowls and shoes have recently been replaced, and with the bowls being Taylor Ace's, beginners will find them much easier to handle.

Open to the public everyday from 9 a.m. until the late evening, the Winter Gardens provides an on-site reception desk, which offers friendly advice and service and also a bowls shop where you can purchase personalised bowling equipment. A full service hiring facility is also available for all your bowling equipment. The Rendezvous bar, bistro and restaurant includes a rink-side bar offers drinks and snacks and directly overlooks the green, even having the possibility to service your needs during game play - and also provides excellent evening dining and entertainment. Tenerife Green Bowls also offers beginners fun mornings where you can try out the game of bowls for the first time or if you are just a casual player. The popularity of bowls keeps this as one of the most popular Golf del Sur activities.

Disabled visitors are welcomed as the entire complex is wheelchair friendly, with special ramps providing access to all levels, including all bars and restaurants, the green and changing rooms, which also have disabled toilets.
