Parque da Floresta
Par 72 5673 metres
16km west of Lagos, the course is one of the toughest in the Algarve. Built on hilly terrain with fantastic views a golf buggy is a must.

Palmares
Par 71 5961 metres
Near Lagos it is the oldest course on the Algarve, enjoying breathtaking views over the bay, it winds through almond and fig trees, with five links holes between the beach and the railway line. It provides an interesting and enjoyable round of golf and it is well worth a visit.

Penina Championship Course
Par 73 6273 metres
Sir Henry Cotton’s masterpiece, near Alvor and Portimao, which has been completely renovated, is once more justifiably considered to be one of the best in Europe. It is a long but relatively flat course. With numerous water hazards, large bunkers and contoured greens it is a wonderful test of golf and a joy to play. Venue for the Portuguese Open.

Morgado do Reguengo
Par 73 6399 metres
Morgado is one of the longest courses in the region. Situated 5kms north of Portimao, with views of the Monchique mountains to the north, the course is set amongst valleys, rivers and woodland with gentle undulating fairways, deep bunkers and large greens. It is wonderfully peaceful there and is a fine test of golf. The shorter and very interesting Alamos Course is at the same venue.

Vale da Pinta
Par 72 6151 metres
Set in an area of undulating land not far from the popular seaside village of Carvoeiro, the two courses Pinta and Gramacho are the work of a master of course design, Ronald Fream. Scattered with almond, carob and olive trees - many centuries old - and with natural rocky outcrops, Vale da Pinta is rated one of the best courses in Europe.

Gramacho
Par 72 6107 metres
The world famous star player, Nick Price, has teamed up with the well-known golf course architect, Ronald Fream, to create a uniquely designed 18-hole course with 27 varied greens that enable the golfer to play the same course several times with different greens and new challenges. The design technique has positioned the greens and protective bunkers so that an 18-hole round is a genuine challenge. The positioning of the tee markers helps to increase this variety still further. The course, near Carvoeiro, is maintained at tournament standard all the year round.

Silves
Par 70 5618 metres
Silves, near the town of the same name, is a serene spot, but the course isn’t easy. You have to contend with water hazards on your first drive so you need to be accurate. Most holes offer a spectacular mountain and valley view, overlooking palm trees and olive groves. You may even pick a few oranges or even figs along the way to the next tee.

O'Connor Course
One of two new courses in The Amandoeira Resort west of Albufeira, it is a fine layout with a links feel about it.

Faldo Course

Salgados
Par 72 6080 metres
West of Albufeira, it is one of the newest courses on the Algarve. Its location by the beach gives it a links style. The terrain is flat and there are a lot of water hazards. A good challenge and you must be straight and accurate.
