Amendoeira Golf Resort

The Faldo Course demands careful positioning to score well. In a modern twist of a traditional recipe, cacti and wild herbs replace the role of Sunningdale's heather, spartan Holm oaks and ancient olive trees take the place of a lush English woodland, and desert scrub bunkers of crushed limestone replace Berkshire’s sandy tracts in a golf course that revels in the classic principles of strategic play. The O'Connor Jnr. Course takes full advantage of being situated in a fertile valley. It's various water features, both lakes and watercourses that are spread throughout the entire course, demand accuracy and test from all golfers, and the rich topsoil has been skillfully landscaped and planted with mature palm trees, affording a lush, ornamental setting like an extensive oasis. This course has tees that are generally connected to the fairways, but its greater overall distance, the water hazards and big greens provide its challenge. Golfers must also be prepared to read the subtly contoured putting surfaces that are strong features.  The 9 hole Academy course is the only floodlit 9 hole golf course in Portugal. It is ideally suited for beginners and those who wish to sharpen up their short game. Three teeing options vary the line of play into each hole and maximize every hazard designed into the green complex. The 9 hole Academy course will become a sure favorite with the whole family and a must to play alongside its big brothers.
