We both enjoyed the course very much, it was set up just great, staff and facilities are first class, my favourite in Portugal,
Only disappointment, was the slow play but in a way I understand as we were a two ball behind four balls, other disappointment, was to see a lady member playing in front, driving her buggy all over the course the very wet fairways, even right up close to the greens, actually driving two wheels on one of them, this gets us visitors a bad name, so its a shame,

Course in great nick. Need to tell players to repair pitch marks on greens particularly 17 and 18. Spa needs a makeover it looked tired according to our wives
