Morgado Golf Course

Paul Selway2018-09-22
Excellent course. The greens are recovering after being hollow tinned

Elaine Lewis2018-09-16
Enjoyed course. Staff good. Greens a little slow

Eammon Ryan 2018-09-04
Very enjoyable day at Morgado. Nice course, improvements being made every time we play there!

Gert van der Wouden2018-07-04
Great course, in excellent condition

Verhage2018-07-03
Nice golf course in a beautiful environment

Anthony Minnis2018-06-22
Staff were helpful and friendly. The course was enjoyable and generally in good condition. The price for 2 people and a buggy was very good value.

Norrie Jamieson2018-06-14
This would undoubtedly be a fantastic course, were it not for the severe restrictions of the buggies on many of the fairways. Some fairways were completely closed to buggies. This resulted in many long walks back and forwards across the fairways which were in the main, thankfully, wide. This really spoiled the round for myself in particular, as I am severely limited in the distance I can walk or time I can stand. Would love to play it without those restrictions. On the upside, staff were all pleasant, courteous and helpful and facilities were good.

michael jamieson2018-06-05
Nice course, in good condition. Couldnt really fault it. Very helpful staff.

Gordon McCrae2018-05-28
Great course. We have played here many times and the course condition seems to get better every time. the rough was quite punishing, but you could find your ball, but that's the price you pay for coming off the fairway We will be back again

Philip Sharpe2018-05-17
Probably helped by hosting the Portuguese Open but the course was in fantastic condition, best fairways I've played on on the Algarve.

Peter Godfrey2019-05-20
Nice course , no major hazard, shame we had to start on 10 th

Brian Doyle 2019-05-14
nice course. Great service from the staff in the clubhouse too

Richard Lewin2019-05-04
Lovely course but tee boxes in a poor state and areas around the green also poor. Good practice facilities. Service on and off course good.

Desiree van der Jagt2019-04-22
Really Nice course. Beautiful views. Bit pity that the greens are under repair

Vortmann2019-04-07
Single Point of criticism is the view on the ruins, - we will come back :)

Mark Dowling2019-04-02
Good course, in very good condition and great layout with variety of holes and elevations

Maria Theresa Dahlén2019-03-21
It was our pleasure joining Chez Carlos golf society. We've met so many wonderful and friendly people and the chosen golf courses are really good!

Malcolm Keers2019-03-15
A little bit disappointed, was expecting this to be the better course of the three played. Back nine better than the front.

David McKee2019-02-10
Excellent course with helpful staff. A course planner would have been helpful on the round.

Roland Nilsson2019-02-08
Not very challenging but very good greens

Jaap Schaap2019-02-06
Very dry course. Friendly staff.

Mrs Cooke2019-02-05
Enjoyed our round lovely weather not too busy

Robert Lentell2019-02-05
Course in good condition with fast green. Very pleasant day.

Max Cornish2019-02-05
Interesting course - different from many in the Algarve Friendly staff

Lawrence Hughes2019-01-31
Course was in excellent condition and was empty so we played millionaires golf

Richard Sunderland2019-01-24
Despite being busy pace of play was good. Golf reception new we were coming, no problems

Hilary Minto 2019-01-17
The greens were good , the fairways quite brown but overall a pleasing game of golf.

Joachim Plinke2019-01-07
Beautiful course in good condition, warm welcome at the reception

Nick Fry2018-11-27
Bit slow due to numbers on course

gunder johansson2018-11-24
first nine very equal

Andrew Watson2018-11-21
Clubhouse was nicely set up and the staff very helpful. Parking was a little difficult as the two courses were busy. Shame to see so much development abandoned and falling into ruin. The place could have been a really smart golf resort. Course is fine. Not a classic but perfectly enjoyable. A good day out.

Glyn Hughes2018-11-21
As always, a delightful course with the challenge of numerous, deep bunkers. Superb views.

Mikko Raunio2018-11-07
Good course to start holiday, as there is lot space to drive. A good course, even though front nine is quite boring.

Colin Wilson2018-11-05
The course was not in a good condition There were large areas on the fairways that were bald Perversely the rough was too long for holiday golf When you were in it, it was difficult to get out of it Consequently the pace of play was too slow

Gary Bell2018-11-02
Relatively flat course with some nice features.

Michael Hardman 2018-10-20
Played here on previous visits. Starting times too close together. Started on hole 10 and had a slow 9 holes. Game speeded up on our back nine

Rupert Hornby2018-10-19
Welcome ok. It was very wet when we arrived, but brightened up quickly. Course in excellent condition, but doesn’t punish poor shots enough yet. Pace of play was very good.

Dave Cooksey2018-10-19
Very nice

David Henman2018-10-19
A reasonable course but very slow round. As with many Algarve courses they seem to try to get too many players on the course , getting a bit greedy, and this reduces the enjoyment in the golf.

Sean O' Mahony2018-10-15
The speed of play was very slow and would be the only reason I would not return. The course, price and ambiance was good but we were held up on every shot.

Tom Egan2018-10-14
Always enjoy morgado Very very busy though

philip fisher2018-10-13
Course was OK greens not up to scratch and generally looked scruffy. Played OK staff were very friendly and helpful.

philip a lander2018-10-10
Very good course and pleasant and helpful staff

Ian Cogger2018-10-09
Course in reasonable conditions although a lot of bunkers weren’t raked and the pitch marks on greens and their general condition weren’t great

Mark Hughes2018-10-04
Way too slow play, 5 3/4 hours for 18 holes

Andy Hennessy2018-09-19
Really enjoyed Morgado, golf course in very good order, a pleasing experience.

Xavier Chauffleur2018-09-15
We played Alamo instead of Morgado (golf repair).

BOURDONNEC JEAN2018-09-08
Very good championship golf course. Greens have been sown in August and grass is young, not rolling.

Keith Walker2018-07-04
Good course,but not in top condition

Stephen Curley2018-06-28
Great facilities and course in good condition

David Muhley2018-06-27
Excellent service

Will Hunter2018-06-24
Excellent course and great golf partners from the Isle of Man. Although the clubhouse lacked atmosphere.

pat wallace2018-06-24
Enjoyable only problem not being to take buggy on a lot of the fairways

David Elcock2018-06-24
I hope that they are not going to spoil Morgado by restricting buggy access to the fairways. As an older golfer this would reduce our enjoyment of an otherwise very enjoyable course. I hope they have not lost sight of that most golfers are not good enough to play in the Portuguese Open.

Maria Theresa Dahlén2018-06-12
Lovely golf course. Well maintained fairway and greens.

David Bowles2018-06-09
Although the greens were a touch sluggish due to tuffted grass tbe experience as usual was enjoyable. Weather a little strange for the Algarve in June but the course, as always, provided A challenge.

Michael Tait2018-06-07
An ok course which doesn't overly punish every wayward tee shot, greens were not the fastest but still a good roll on putts. Found the back nine was slightly more appealing than the front nine.

Peter tweed2018-06-05
The course was in good shape, we really enjoyed our round.

Paul Mylet2018-05-28
Great layout and fairly acceptable for our level, very dusty underfoot though

Alan Miller2018-05-28
Excellent lay out, great test

John Beckett2018-05-27
Course in excellent condition, greens were smooth but just a little slow. The bunkers and fairways were extremely well looked after but avoid the rough because it is easy to lose a ball and even if you find it difficult to extract yourself back into play.

Richard Ewart2018-05-16
Very pretty course in very good condition which considering the high grade completion held there last week kit should be. Found the greens quite slow the rough difficult but the fairways excellent.

Richard Lewin2018-05-03
I really enjoyed playing the course. It has the beautiful backdrop of Monchique and other neighbouring hills. The organisation is good although the round was a little slow. Most of the holes are enjoyable and fair, although when we played the rough was penal because it had been allowed to grow in preparation for the Portuguese Open. We'll definitely come back.

Michael Blamire2018-05-01
Disappointed to be put out as a 2 ball amongst 4 balls, waited on every hole, took 6 hours to play the round!!

Ewen Macinnes2018-04-30
Patchy

Sean Desmond2018-04-30
Golf Course in great condition. Very happy, had a great game here

Martin Jackson2018-04-30
The course was in excellent condition and the staff were pleasant and helpful as always. There was a major problem however in that it took approximately 51/2 hours to complete our round because of the level of bookings. This was the first time in many years that we had played in the afternoon and will book earlier next time to ensure a morning start. Our experience was such that we changed our second tee time from afternoon to morning.

John newman2018-04-21
Very similar to Alamos still had a good time

Palmer2018-04-20
Very fair course and enjoyable to play

Mark Woods2018-04-18
The course was ok but a lot of work was being done, hopefully we will see the improvements next time we play there. One criticism would be that all areas of rough were being let grow and the grass was going to seed, this makes it almost impossible to play out of.

Eamonn Ryan2018-04-17
Always enjoy playing at Morgado. The course is not in its best condition just now, probably from the recent bad weather. Some complaints about lack of bugy bar and having to deposit €20 per buggy!

Paul Sorensen2018-04-16
Nice long course. Wet. Slow round but we did see a course Marshall. Reception good. Long and strange drive to the clubhouse. Signage poor.

Arnoul2018-04-16
Tres beau parcours, aere, franc.

Scott Bowker2018-04-07
Fantastic parkland course with some testing holes and stunning views. Only let down by mother nature with some rain.

Bill holmes2018-04-06
Course was OK, but we preferred sister course which we played last year. Parts of the course are showing signs of heavy use, but the greens were fine. Given the range of good and great courses in the Algarve, we wouldn’t go back

Keith Walker2018-03-28
Course in good condition, but had to play off very forward tees.

Nancy Heinemann2018-03-07
The course is well maintained and was very enjoyable to play. .

David Lewis2018-03-03
Great course. Being prepared for Portugese Open

Ron Addis2018-03-01
Only played 9 holes due to weather and slowness of play. Greens condition and speed were okay. Fairways need improvement. Would rate 6\7 out of 10.

Tommi Lithn2018-02-25
Quite nice and easy course, dry tough. Quite a lot queuing and the caddy drove to us and blame it on us. Wrong!!! We skipped one hole and there we where again... waiting... NOT good customer service.

Heinz Hassler2018-02-22
Very friendly Staff All perfect thank you

Markus Schneider2018-02-19
Very Nice course, good greens und nice greenspeed. We enjoyed it a lot

Jan Sklepek2018-02-17
Sehr trocken, Bauruinen neben den Bahnen, das Clubhaus ist in die Jahre gekommen.

Acland2018-02-15
Friendly welcome,efficient reception and easy access to buggy park.All good on the course. Catering ok not as customer friendly but very busy at the end of a long day. Wish Portuguese caterers included a roll with their soup offering even at extra cost.

Trevor Ward2018-02-14
Another great day with lovely friends organised by a great society , thank you

Hugh Gowrie2018-02-11
Reception and collection of buggy arrangements were really good. Would have preferred to start at hole 1 as opposed to hole 10. In general an enjoyable days golf.

Max Cornish2018-02-10
This is a course we re-visit regularly due to the quality of the course itself and the unique location out in the countryside.

Robert Lentell2018-02-09
Course in good condition very enjoyable with good pace of play

STEVEN COULTON2018-02-07
Very helpful..Good deals and quite flexible

Jerry Huber2018-02-04
Always a pleasure to play this course, greens true and slick

Hirt2018-02-02
The course was in good condition BUT on the front 9 the toilet on the 6 was closed! In January last time we played Morgado was the same fact! THIS IS A NO GO! Especially for ladies...!

Judith Tolcher2018-02-01
We have played this course quite a few times previously. I must say the improvements to the course are most welcome.

Barry Summerfield2018-01-30
Reception and starter were very helpful. The course was in reasonable condition and the greens were fast but true. The back nine was a lot more interesting than the front nine. The course marshall was excellent; pushing a slightly slow fourball ahead of us which allowed us to complete our round in four and a quarter hours.

Anthony Laframboise 2018-01-30
Great service and the course is good but a bit dry this year

Edna Morris2018-01-27
The rain poured on the day we'd booked. Went to Morgado to check our options and told by the lady in reception that it was no problem to change to an alternate day. The staff there were so hospitable to everyone, suggesting drying out clothes in front of the roaring fire in the Clubhouse or to use the drying room in the locker room. Returned to play on a sunny day, again the welcome was amazing. The greens were absolutely superb, course very well manicured. My husband has to use a buggy, it was a bit of a problem with distances to walk from the buggy path to the golf ball. The back 9 holes was easier for him in this respect. We'll have to plan making better use of where we parkthe buggy when we return!

Martin Elsender2018-01-24
Course is good but a bit boring. Greens are excellent but not much variety in holes.... most holes are designed as quite long but also quite straight. OK if you like your driver but not so good if you like your wedge.

Roberta alder2018-01-23
Beautiful wide open long course. Hard walking course and fast greens. The views of the surrounding hills and orange trees are breathtaking.

Mr David G Logan2018-01-16
Very good. Friendly and relaxed.

Michael J K Sanders2018-01-14
Greens were excellent and get 10/10. There had been overnight rain and the fairways were very wet and muddy. Generally the presentation of the course was a little shabby.

C.C.Golf Society2018-01-11
Morgado Golf Course itself is in great condition with well maintained fairways. The greens were hard but true with a good average speed, allowing the golf ball to roll well. Due to an unusual amount of torrential rain the previous day, some bunkers were naturally water logged. The orange groves by the 10th hole are stunning with an abundance of fruit. New species of trees and shrubs are now being planted which will further enhance this beautiful 72 par golf course, home of the new Portuguese Open Championship, part of the European Tour. The players were surpised by the course length on the new score cards at Morgado Golf Course which now have distances of 6035 meters from the yellow tees and 5124 meters from the ladies tees. The par 3’s have always been long at Morgado but now the par 4’s are longer on the 4th and 9th holes and the par 5’s have increased in length on the back nine on holes 10, 13 and 16.

Hanna Marcinowska2017-12-24
Overall it is a very nice golf course, well kept greens, fairways not so green anymore but no problem to play. Very smartly pleced and good condition bunkers:-) Very nice staff. Restaurant could be better.

Eric Segers2017-12-21
after playing the second course,alamos, a little disapointing first 9 holes

Louise Cossey2017-12-19
Lovely well kept course. Friendly staff. Stunning views. Would certainly come again!

Robert clay2017-12-15
Thank you we had a great time will certanly use yoy next time

Martin Georg Hilke2017-12-10
Nice Place, nice course...

Hans2017-12-08
Friendly staff overall, well maintained golf course, sometimes a bit rough on the fairways and very fast greens. A pleasure to play.

Karl A. Wachter2017-12-04
I played the course on Monday the 4th of Dezember. The course was in excellent condition. Due to the length it is a challenging course even for single handicapper. The staff was very friendly and even the greenkeepers were very alert not to disturb the players.

David James2017-11-29
We had a great day there. We had a buggy but we wished we had carts as buggies were not allowed on the course because of over night rain.

Mats Hillblom2017-11-22
We played Nov. 18th with tee time 13:04 and already at tee 5 we ran into the 3 closest groups who were waiting to play. They said it was at least one slow group 5 or 6 balls in front of them who had slowed down the whole course. We tried to call the reception but no answer? After 2,5 hours we had played the first 9 holes and I went to the reception and the answer was : Talk to the Caddie Master When we teed up on the tenth the Marshall came and said he had talked to the slow ball but in the end that didn't helped. We finished our round in darkness as the last ball after almost 5 hours!!! We also played Nov. 19th with tee time 12:00 and then it worked better, "only" 4 h and 25 min's! We played Alamos on the 17th and the greens were much better than Morgado.

John Wheatley2017-11-19
The course was very busy but everyone moved allngvreasonably quickly so a most enjoyable round. The Course was in very good condition, the greens true though not quite as quick as I expected. The staff were all wfficient, helpful and friendly. A very good value Golf course.

Hans2017-11-19
Friendly staff at desk,well kept course, only slow at the bar.

Jan Pedersen2017-11-14
Good service

Bill Robertson2017-11-13
A bit busy so we went off the back 9 first and no problems when we got to the first tee. Course in good condition despite the current drought.

Martin Punch2017-11-06
€90 for Golf, Buggy & Clubs at Morgado is good value...this course has improved greatly... worth a visit.....

Strobl2017-11-06
Everything was well organized, even the change of the original ordered tee-times by mail. Although the course was completely booked we had a good flow and no waiting times between the holes (with very fast Greens). So it was a great pleasure to play Morgado and we are looking forward to play Alamos ...

Chris Bootles2017-11-04
No drinks buggy. But everything else was good.

Odette Isler2017-11-02
Course in good condition despite the very hot temperatures in summer

Neil Elliott2017-10-28
Poor condition

Odette Isler2017-10-26
very friendly - course in good condition

Pritpal Padam2017-10-25
Excellent

Michael Hardman2017-10-21
Good course with interesting holes. We're not told off 10th until saw starter on 1st tee !!

Fergus Armstrong2017-10-18
Good course. Having read some previous reviews course condition was good considering the lack of rain in the area. Back 9 has some great holes and the 19th was very good for a well deserved drink after our game. Would return

Paul Maxwell2017-10-09
Overall condition poor but appreciate over use since open

Peter Streets2017-10-05
Not worth the green fee paid front nine greens bad condition.

Liz Scully2017-10-03
Good course in fair condition. Green fees a reasonable price. Good group of players all mixed well as usual.

Neil Brady2017-09-18
Nice course and staff but greens were in terrible condition. We had been made aware of them in fairness but course should have been closed for repair weeks ago.

Ian Smith2017-08-19
Greens were in very poor condition, covered in sand.

Ana Delgado2017-08-16
The course is ok but greens are not in good condition at the time we plaid.

Alan Cooper2017-07-14
Very good

Rory White2017-06-19
Very decent course and well maintained. Enjoyed the round.

Doug Smith2017-06-15
A good golf course, but showing some tiredness after hosting the Portugal Open a few weeks previously. The greens were quite slow. Some great scores yesterday so it suited most.

John Wheatley2017-05-29
Course in great condition and a super round shortly after the Portuguese Open.

Martin Punch2017-05-16
Relaxing course in great condition , pity about the unfinished buildings,

Neil Meffin2017-05-11
great course look forward to watching Portugal Open on it

Bill Robertson2017-05-11
Good as usual but lots of work going on as it was getting ready for Portuguese open.

Eamonn Ryan2017-05-05
Course in better condition than last month but still some way to go

Steven Puntin2017-05-03
excellent course greens were superb

Ken Mitchell2017-04-19
Course in preparation for Portuguese Open. A bit untidy in places. Unfortunately the unfinished developments around the course detract from the overall experience.

David Logan 2017-04-14
Very good

Gerry Malone2017-04-12
Very enjoyable but we had to wait on the 1st to allow players from 18th to come on to 1st tee box to continue their round.

Michael Bryan 2017-04-11
A nice layout with good greens but shocking fairways and bunkers. No starter or ranger to monitor play resulting in near 5 hour round as a walking 2 ball in front of us lost at least 2 holes!

G.J.T. Schuurman2017-04-06
Beautifull course! Wide fairways and lot of waterhazards. Good driving range.

Michael Barker2017-03-20
Very enjoyable experience, but again very busy course and another 5 hour round. Course being prepared for the Open in May.

Christine Hopkins 2017-03-17
Frustrating . Held up more than normal at each tee. Unable to complete course as darkness fell

Eamonn Ryan2017-03-12
Course not it good condition this year. Difficult to see that it will be ready for the European Tour!

Axel Heuser2017-03-08
much better than the Alamos course. large greens, brider fairways, the course is ideal for testing the stategic.

Eduard Reinhart2017-03-05
Interessanter und fairer Platz auch für mittlere Hcps, im Februar leider noch etwas trocken

Helmut Zagler2017-02-26
very well

Päivi Melkko 2017-02-25
Back nine very good

Peter Mcshane2017-02-17
Good golf course, although fairways could have been better. Good value for money

Andy Robinson2017-02-14
Helpful and friendly staff,good golf course in pretty good condition,but it was very busy, and took us over 5 hours to get round.

Paul2017-02-05
OK A bit up and down greens on the whole good, and a couple of nice holes

Adrian Fraser Jones2016-10-24
Great course , fairly wide open

Oliver White2016-10-24
COURSE WAS GOOD.

Stuart Watson2016-10-21
A good course with a few blind tee shots, a large clubhouse, helpful pro shop.

Bill Robertson2016-10-20
As with Alamos

John Slaven2016-10-13
First class

Jim Kearney2016-10-06
I enjoyed the course, it is challenging enough without being too difficult. The staff are very friendly and helpful. I was early for my tee time and was given a bucket of balls free of charge to help while away the time and loosen up. A really good experience.

MICHAEL MITCHELL2016-09-23
This was quite a long course and the fairways were recently tined and quite dry but a great course .

Irene Lee Donohoe2016-08-27
We played it three times this holiday and it was in super condition for late August.

Julia Bell2016-08-13
As above

Celio Carreto2016-07-06
Easy play golf course. Not to difficult. Good start in a golf vacation. Good price value.

Peter Hurley2016-06-28
it was a pity that the greens were heavily sanded.

James Galbraith2016-06-17
VERY GOOD NO PROBLEMS

Elisabeth Patek2016-06-06
Wonderful course close to the hotel, not as exhausting as Alamos but still challenging. A little boring the first nine holes but the second ones are great (though hilly)!

Dave Thompson2016-05-16
Course in good condition Green Poor

Malcolm MacDonald2016-05-10
Great condition and not as busy as Alamos.

Leslie White2016-05-08
Fine course although greens were not up to scratch.

michael lysaght2016-04-28
A good course to play the back 9 a bit tight and you feel you are away from it all not a house in sight

Dave Pennington2016-03-21
Course was in very good condition as usual. Our first round took 5 hours to complete, starting at 9.30. 3 players were holding up the play but the course ranger did nothing despite being asked to. Our other rounds were just over 4 hours.

Mr Austin Brandt2016-03-10
Would like to book using a target tee time and accept actual time 1/2 hour before or after. Having to select an exact hour leaves actual time range too large. This year had to opt for 10:00 and got 09:52 and 10:48 which turned out not to be too problematical but would have preferred 10:30.

Eamonn Ryan2016-03-09
Good course but maintenance work around the greens after recent heavy rains made it difficult to play. Poor value.

Mike sanders2016-02-04
Morgado was not the best. Boavista was by far the best. The greens at both Alamos and Morgado were very poor with Alamos particularly poor.

Axel Heuser2016-01-31
Sehr gute Grüns. Spurtreu. Die Vorgrüns sind in einem schlechten Zustand.

Dominik L. Zuhorn 2016-01-11
Wir spielten doch den ALAMOS, da Morgado kurzfristig in Ausbesserung war, weite Wege von Loch zu Loch, daher Caddy unbedingt zu empfehlen, schöner Platz mit vielen Bunkern um den Grüns

John Haughey2015-12-07
A tougher test of golf, I would say. Bad shots get punished to a greater extend than Alamos. That's why I reckon Morgado has a slight edge in quality over its sister venue.

Roger Daniels2015-12-04
Also a good course but inferior to Alamos and very aware of others on the course as less space

Matti Piirainen2015-11-29
Greens were not the best this time.

Bill Robertson2015-11-16
Always a favourite and a great value package with Alamos.

Gerry Kinane 2015-10-30
A very enjoyable day of golf.

Lindsay Desmier2015-10-27
A little featureless but a great way to start or end a trip - not too demanding. Quite busy - 5 hour round

Michael Hardman2015-10-27
Could not play due to weather but course left open. Gave us a voucher to play a round which ends in April. No real use as not coming back until next October. Could it be extended to October we wondered through your office ?

Mrs Emma Valle2015-10-25
Fabulous course to start our hols. Long and lovely fairways. Greens immaculate. Starter friendly. Would thoroughly recommend

Peter Webber2015-10-24
Long and more open course which was very enjoyable and favoured the lower handicappers.

Peter Rzeskiewicz2015-10-19
Same problem with the second buggy. I would have been happy to pay in advance for this if required.

carlos2012-06-24
Played Morgado yesterday and must say this Golf Course is in great condition , Tees, Fairways , Greens , rought and bunkers , no defaults at all . Propers ways in and out for the buggies to have acess when your ball is away of the buggie paths . Chez Carlos Golf Society competition was Stableford Pairs Better Ball . Me and my partner had 47 points , to secure a comfortable win . This golf course with is 2 players and a buggie for, 44€ each , is finally a great deal for a enjoyable round of Golf . i

Chez Carlos Golf Society2012-06-23
Morgado do Reguengo is a stunning 72 Par golf course located on the foots of Monchique mountains, in a country estate, just a short drive from the seaside town of Portimão and the fishing village of Alvor. When you play at Morgado be prepared to experience two different nine holes – one slightly flatter and the other undulating, displaying impressive views across the Monchique mountains. This is a walkable course, if you've got the stamina, but when the weather warms up you'll want to enjoy the comfort of a buggy, in fact, accesses to the fairways are extremely well displayed. The back 9 is slightly more challenging because of the aforementioned undulating features but also because the valley is mountain-sided, creating a kind of funnel for the wind to blow through. This is not a long course, however, in the whole, all the Par 3 are quite long ones, especially on the front 9 where you will find 2 holes with almost 200 meters each. To compensate, the Par 4 are relatively short allowing an average golfer to hit the green in regulation. We would say make the best out of the front 9 and use it as a warm up for your second round. The 18th is a superb finishing hole, with an elevated tee looking down at the beautiful view of the wavy fairway, sheltered by bunkers, and Clubhouse in the distance. A true signature hole and a great way to end your round. By par or by birdie, you are sure to want to come back! A round on this championship course is also a great chance to appreciate the surrounding nature, since it is an estate known for the richness of its fauna and flora, and also an opportunity to extend the day into the mountains and experience the real Algarve through its cuisine in one of the many nice restaurants along the road – the smoked ham “presunto” and the chicken piri-piri here are a must! - many of which boast outstanding views that go as far as the sea, in Portimão. If you're a fan of motor sports, then 15 minutes away you have the Algarve F1 International Racetrack where high-speed adventures wait for you. Further towards the coast however, you have Portimão and Alvor, where fish is king. Wherever you choose to relax after your golf, it will be worth your while!
