(Golf Club Overview
Designed by Nick Faldo with strategic play in mind this 6,604 meters par72 championship course demands careful positioning to score well.
In a modern twist of a traditional recipe, cacti and wild herbs replace the role of Sunningdales heather, spartan Holm oaks and ancient olive trees take the place of a lush English woodland, and desert scrub bunkers of crushed limestone replace Berkshires sandy tracts in a golf course that revels in the classic principles of strategic play.Golf Club Information
Location: The Resort is just 35 minutes drive from Faro Airport along the A22 motorway, 4 kilometres inland from the beach resort of Armaēćo de Pźra.

As the first review, one of the best courses I have played. Of course you have to be very very careful on tee to green, but once on the green it is easily a 4 putt. For the average golfer, a par is fantastic, bogey golf is excellent, double bogey is good. The green's are like glass, but whatever your handicap, if you can walk away with 25 to 30 points you have had a great game.

Value for money

One of the best courses i have ever played. There is danger on every shot you play, which really makes you have to think about what you need to do.
Very windy on the day we played it, but all of us thought it was magnificent. We will be back again next year.

The staff were very friendly and the facilities were amazing. I paid 66 euro for the round on the summer special. Here are some notes
* I found the course hard to find, not many signs leading into the grounds
* 8 back nine extremely hilly, you definitely need a buggy
* the course is lush and the outskirts feel like you are in a desert, which is different
* I enjoyed the 18th hole, really good feeling walking up to the green
* quite a bit of distance between some of the greens so you need to be prepared
*
I have this to be great value for money and tremendous day out. The bar was just as impressive and not overly pricey.The Course
