Lovely golf & facilities

Our Society have played here three times now and have never been disappointed. None of your usual drive and wedge so familiar on the Algarve. Par 3 holes with SI 7,9,11 & 14 mean good mid iron shots required. The cuisine & service is that of what you'd expect from a Meridien hotel so all in all well worth a visit! Represents really good value compared to some it's over rated comparators... we will go for a fourth time next time in Portigal!

Consequence of the above assessment

And add the old flair from days gone by in a positive way.
The course may have become too short for today's professional golf, but it is fun for normal consumers

Better than expected

My wife and I played the course 4 times.
Many people write here about a lack of space maintenance. That's true in many things too. The paths, bridges etc. have certainly seen much better days.
The fairways are in very usable condition. At least at the beginning of March. The transitions into the rough aren't always that clean, but this is just a tourist spot with no sporting ambitions.
The bunkers, on the other hand, were always well prepared. The operator cannot correct what the flights do during the round.
The greens were really fast and undulating every day. With late start times, it's better to have 3 pitchforks with you, but that's the case at almost every place with predominantly tourist flights.
The best thing, in my opinion, is the design.
Obstacles so perfectly designed that strategy often comes before length.
You can tell that the place was once a really top place.
For today's lengths, a little too short to reach tour standards.
In any case, we felt very comfortable, even if we had to sacrifice a few balls to the omnipresent water god.
