Pinhal

 

Par 72, 6353m

This was the second golf course built in Vilamoura and inaugurated in 1976, having originally been designed by Frank Pennink, the architect of the nearby Old Course.

Several refinements were incorporated over the years, the most significant one by Robert Trent Jones Sr. in 1985. The course is typified by rolling parkland terrain covered with numerous umbrella and Atlantic pines that line many of the fairways and a few even stand out on fairways or near greens.

Ponds and a stream come into play on five holes but are not serious threats to above-average golfers. To keep up with modern technical advances in clubs and balls, several holes have recently been lengthened and the par 72 course now measures 6353m off the white tee markers.

The opening hole is a par 5 of 498m. Try to keep your drive on left fairway to facilitate your second shot. The split level green is well protected.

Be patient for the first nine holes and try hard to place your tee shots. The second nine is more open and forgiving.
