The Golf Courses
Parque da Floresta
Some 18 miles west of Lagos and only 20 minutes from cape St.
Vincent this course is built in the wild hills and valleys above the beach
and fishing village of Salema. Spanish maestro Pepe Gancedo designed the
original 18holes and although some changes have been made to make the
course easier to play, it still retains much of its original character.
It measures 5.670 metres with a par of 72. There are so many interesting holes but perhaps the 5 short holes are its main feature. The stroke index 1 par five 9th hole is probably the most feared hole on the Algarve.
The superb Clubhouse overlooks 10th tee and the 18th green and has a good bar, splendid restaurant and locker rooms. There is also a Pro-Shop, as well as excellent practice facilities. Clubs, trollies and buggies are available for hire.
The resort also has a Bowls Club, Tennis Club, Archery, Horse Riding and a Health & Beauty Spa.
Palmares
Close to Lagos it is one of the original courses of the Algarve and
universally regarded as one of the best. It enjoys some amazing coastal
views over the bay of Lagos and Alvor estuary. The course measurers 5961
metres and has a par of 71. The early holes are in links type country
close to the sea and the par 5 fifth must be one of the great holes of the
Algarve. After the 8th hole one climbs into the fig and almond
orchards amongst the rolling hills above Meia Praia.
The view from the 17th tee is spectacular and the hole itself is an interesting dog leg par 5.
The superbly sited Clubhouse has a bar with snacks and light meals available. The reception, Pro-Shop and Changing Rooms are in a separate building. There is a Driving Range, Putting and chipping green. Clubs, trollies and buggies are available for hire.For 2 to 4 Golfers.
