Course Description
The name of this course is appropriately suggesting is enviable location. As an older golf course it had a strong influence in placing the Algarve as a destination in the golfing world. The fairways have a tendency to be narrow and accuracy is imperative when playing. The holes wander through pine trees with wonderful views of the sea between the homes lining the sides of the fairways. Some of the holes take you along the cliff top with the blue Atlantic sea as the backdrop.

Built on mainly undulating coast land the course features narrow fairways set amongst umbrella pines as well as some demanding holes near to the beach where sea breezes demand extra concentration.

Two par 5 holes in the final three demand concentration is kept to a maximum and ensure a great finish to this excellent course.
