Very picturesque course that looks fabulous from the balcony of the extremely impressive clubhouse. I'm afraid that's were my positives end.
The course is hilly and tight with virtually zero 1st cut of longer grass in between the heavily undulating fairways and truly brutal rough. Far too many good shots that hit the middle of fairways ended up as unreachable lost balls in vicious bramble bushes.
There was also a boar problem on a number of holes with large areas of GUR where they had been digging.
The clubhouse was extremely impressive and the food was tasty. Slightly surprised at being charged extra for butter to go with our toast at breakfast tho.
I'm afraid that this is one of the few courses on the Algarve that I have no intention of playing again.

Great addition to courses at the western end of the Algarve. Very picturesque course up in the hills above the village of Espiche, about 6 kms west of Lagos. Only about three years old but the owners have spent a huge amount of money getting it right. Fabulous new clubhouse with extremely friendly and efficient staff throughout - food pretty good and great value too.
As has already been said, off the fairway and there are lots of bushes to grab your ball, but keep it on the fairway, and a really good test of golf. Quality fairways and tees, and large, undulating greens which really test a good putting stroke also in very good condition when we played mid June.
It's quite hilly, and some long distances between greens and tees, buggy recommended unless feeling pretty fit! Will definitely play again.

Fantastic new club house and facilities (played two years ago and there wasn't one!) and the course has really matured. The course itself looks lovely, very well maintained and presented and is a proper challenge. The reason I have marked it as 'Good' is because for some it may be a little too tricky, insofar as once you are off the fairway it's punishing. If you can hit straight and know your distances you will love it. Maybe once I have learnt these two things I'll increase it to 'Very Good'.

played it 27/10/12 it goes from fairway to 5 foot high bracken, no semi rough or rough.they need to cut down most of the bracken, you can.t find your ball even when it gently rolls of the fairway, the advice i was given was dont you your driver, didn,t expect to have to use a 6 iron of the tee on most holes,
