Course Description
The architect of the Laguna golf Course (ex. Vilamoura 3) was Joseph Lee, together with William Roquemore. They designed three nine-hole courses, the main difficulties being water hazards - ten different lakes. Bermuda grass was chosen for the fairways.

The Laguna Golf Course is a par 72 in all three 18-hole combinations, with the second par 3 of the course being one of its best holes, as well as the 9th of the first,vwhere water is always a threat, from tee to green. In stark contrast to its two sister courses, Laguna is without pines and, as the name suggests, incorporates water hazards in its fairly flat layout.

The 18 Holes have been laid out over level ground and with the exception of the eleventh and twelve that take the player around and over a lake, it is open fairways for the player with very few trees to present difficulties. It is a course that can be likened to some degree to the challenges that are provided by a Links course. However, there are a many water hazards with strategically placed bunkers in open terrain. These factors combined with the occasional strong wind make for an interesting round.
