Worth a Round
Reviewed March 3, 2026
Yes, this isn't a dream location, but it's recommended for a quick round!
The main course was well maintained, the driving range less so, the balls on the range were not washed, unsuitable for training.
The course begins with a beautiful par 3, the other fairways wind through an old stand of trees, which, however, has been quite damaged by the last storm.
Some fairways are very narrow and tricky; local knowledge is essential!
Fairways good, bunkers okay, greens alright but not too fast.
The course is only 5.432 m long from the back tee, but due to its narrowness it is not easy to play.
Good greens, not too fast, not overly large, good for putting!

Reviewed December 19, 2024
2 cars in the parking lot. Why with such a great description?
Only a few people want to play on the course?
Green fee via Golfamore 35 €. Very good value for money.
But 45 € for an ancient and assembled buggy is outrageous.
Tees ruffled.
Fairways ok Greens spotty and dull.
Toilets incredibly dirty.
Benches broken.
No information boards about the railway.
Rarely any indication of the next tee shot. Especially on 16th to 17th.
The 16 was shortened from about 600m to about 400m and supplemented with a 125m pair of 3s. Now the 17.
Summary: The worst Pestana course (I have played all of them several times). Better to pay a little more and get more.

Quite decent space without luxury
Reviewed October 24, 2024
Easy going. No starter. Parking almost at the tee and in the clubhouse. Not chic, old-fashioned but pleasant. Well maintained and green. Lots of back and forth courses, but always separated by a thin row of tall pine trees with shade. Balls were often lying on our fairway. I got my revenge. The tees were very close to the greens, so the 2nd shot had to be right. A previous reviewer noticed the sloping greens at different speeds. Felt strange. On green 18 I noticed what he meant. The green was a sloping flat disc. It would have been 114/p without Golfamore. It gets a star for the 57/p.
