Manuel Piñero participated in two Ryder Cups with the European team in 1981 and 1985, contributing to some of the most memorable moments in the competition's history. His experience at the highest level of competitive golf directly influences his approach to course design.
As founding partner of Target Ingenieros y Asociados, Manuel Piñero has applied his unique perspective as a professional golfer to create courses that challenge players while respecting the natural environment.
His design approach combines technical precision with an understanding of what makes golf enjoyable at every skill level. Having competed on over 500 courses worldwide, he brings unparalleled insight into what separates good courses from great ones.
Manuel Piñero's relationship with Golf del Sur began with the 2005 course remodeling and continues today with his leadership of the ambitious 2024 Master Plan renovation.
Under his guidance, the course is being transformed into an international benchmark for design, sustainability and playing experience—while preserving its authentic Canarian character and integration with the San Blas Natural Reserve.
