Although with only 9 holes, this is one of the country?s most original golf courses, built in a pinewood setting, with tree lined fairways running parallel along the Atlantic Ocean, giving it's guests breathtaking views along the Algarvian coastline. Architect Martin Hawtree?s main concern was to keep the natural surroundings as it was before the course was built. The jewel of this perfectly kept course is the Par 3 sixth hole. The championship tee, known as the Devil?s Parlour, is built over a ravine that requires a 197 metre carrying shot over the cliffs to a deep but narrow green.
