What the club says: One of the reasons people enjoy playing Boavista is that it's always in first-rate condition. Another is the attractiveness of the course with its far reaching views of the Bay of Lagos to the east and the Monchique mountains to the north. Designed in 2002 by Howard Swan the golf course uses the natural contours of the terrain and as a result it presents plenty of challenge - especially on holes six and eight where you have to hit your ball across a ravine!
With two distinctive sections the course offers a variety of holes commencing with the welcoming first hole, a meandering downhill par-4, bordered by beautiful sub-tropical landscaping leading to harmoniously designed properties. The first nine, in general, climb to the highest point of the resort, where a pause at the eighth tee will allow one to experience panoramic views. Subsequent holes descend to an area where water features, streams, lakes and arched bridges, reminiscent of landscaped gardens abound.

I played this course with my husband. The course is quite up and down and you have various stances to deal with. I enjoyed the experience but the pace was very slow.Reviewer Rating

Nice course close to Lagos
The course was in really good condition and a nice challenge without being too difficult to enjoy.Some really nice views but tainted a little bit by being almost completely surrounded by villas, more so than some other nice courses around the area.
Super convenient as it’s only a €5 euro, under 10 min taxi drive from Lagos centre.

This is an interesting and enjoyable course to play due to the layout. Unfortunately it is spoilt by poor maintenance. The greens and tees are just shocking and nobody seems to care. The bunkers are solid with just the very top raked. These need digging out to get them back to a playable condition. The greens and tees will need serious maintenance work to bring these back to a good playable condition.

driving range was closed every day
We stayed there for 4 days; the driving range was closed every day. At 85 euros a round that is not acceptable. They allow young kids with parents on the course; 5 hour rounds.Espiche and Palmares are worth every penny. Forget Boavista.

NIce course to play whilst on holiday
Impressive complex, nice clubhouse. Good practice facilities, although putting greens not in the best condition. Quite hilly course so buggy recommended. Opening holes quite tight amongst surrounding villas. But one out of the complex opens up a bit. We thought the course could do with a little tlc, greens a bit patchy but played okay. So good views to be had. Worth playing if staying around Lagos/Alvor area.(Round played: May 2018 - Score: 79 Handicap: 5.3)
