Course
Description
The course that has combined existing holes from the original
Vale do Lobo course and some special interesting new holes.
The layout of the course is skillful with a mixture of challenges
slowly building up to a finally on the eighteenth. The famous
par-3 "seventh hole" from the old days is now the
spectacular sixteenth on this new course. The closing eighteenth
is a tricky hole on which to finish, with its narrow fairway
and a deceptive green.
