Quinta de Cima Course
User rating :

[Ranking 2148 from 2824] (1 reviews)
This new championship-standard sister course to Quinta da Ria is one that certainly provides an enjoyable challenge for the more accomplished players. Set in undulating terrain smattered with almond trees, it provides open fairways so the longer players can really open their shoulders but at the same time contend with plenty of well-placed water hazards. The first two holes indicate the true nature of the course, emphasizing the need for good club selection combined with accuracy. The architect Rocky Roquemore has also used higher elevations for tees and greens resulting in a visually stunning course to play. The coup de grace of his design is the liberal use of bunkers. Dotted all over the course, they make it more of a challenge than the sister course Quinta de Ria, but no less enjoyable. The key to scoring well here is a steady nerve and clever shot selection.Course Information

Notes:
Eighteen holes skilfully scattered by an area of 620.000 m2, the Cima Course show themselves very competitive with dog-legs to the right and to the left and greens well protected by sand hazards and lakes, particularly holes 16, 17 and 18. A stream with dams and permanent flowing water crosses holes 4, 5, 6 and 13. The course is bordered to the north by the National Road 125 and spreads to the south, where its limits are a municipal road that leads to the Ria Course.
