CASCADE WELLNESS RESORT

BOAVISTA

One of the reasons people enjoy playing Boavista is that it?s always in first-rate condition. Another is the attractiveness of the course with its far reaching views of the bay of Lagos to the east and the Monchique mountains to the north. Designed in 2002 by Howard Swan the golf course uses the natural contours of the terrain and as a result it presents plenty of challenge ? especially on holes 6 and 8 where you have to hit your ball across a ravine! With two distinctive sections the course offers a variety of holes commencing with the welcoming first hole, a meandering downhill par-4, bordered by beautiful sub-tropical landscaping leading to harmoniously designed properties. The first nine, in general, climb to the highest point of the resort, where a pause at the eighth tee will allow one to experience panoramic views. Subsequent holes descend to an area where water features, streams, lakes and arched bridges, reminiscent of landscaped gardens abound. There is always a friendly golf professional and practice facilities that includes driving range, a exclusive short game practice area with three beautifully maintained course size greens: one for putting, one for chipping and the other surrounded by bunkers.

SANTO ANTONIO

Framed by a valley that meanders through the course creating some undulating fairways, Santo Antonio at Parque da Floresta is an impressive arena that has already been the stage for the prestigious Europro Tour, situated near the fishing village of Salema, near Sagres and close to the Costa Vicentina nature reserve. An undulating course with some sloping fairways, particularly on the front nine. Small well bunkered greens, many near lakes on the back nine, requiring a good degree of accuracy. The course is perfectly integrated into the landscape and was designed by Pepe Gancedo, one of Spain?s most famous architects, whose philosophy of golf course construction involves minimal alteration to the existing terrain. Santo Antonio Golf Course runs over hills behind the fishing village of Salema, which is near the historic town of Lagos and not far from the Costa Vicentina Nature Reserve. The Clubhouse is typically Portuguese and provides spectacular panoramic views over mountains and sea, and also a general view over much of the course.

MORGADO

Surrounded by Nature, farming fields, in the typical of the Algarvian Barrocal, ensconced between the hilly interior and the coast, graced with partridges and rabbits, is Morgado golf course. Between Portimão and Monchique, in one of the beautiful and largely unknown valleys of the Algarvian hinterland, this course is a challenge both for those taking their first steps in golf as for more experienced players seeking to test or improve their technique. With 18 holes, this is a more open and easier course, with the features of a links course - with flat fairways and bunkers of Scottish inspiration - but, instead of being along the seaside as the traditional links, it?s placed inside parkland. The card presents a par of 73 strokes, although the length of the round is attenuated by the generous width of the fairways. However, the less accomplished strokes can be penalised by any one of the many bunkers distributed over the course. Surrounded by traditional species of trees of the region, such as citrus and olive trees, at Morgado the player is immersed in a calm and serene Algarve, meeting the inner soul of this region that has so much to offer.

ALAMOS

It is an impressive golf test. Although the course length is relatively short, Álamos Golf Course is a constant challenge. With 18 holes, it is a very technical course, narrower, with smaller and much worked, wavy greens. With great views of the Monchique mountains, lakes and farmland, it offers relaxation and tranquility. It is a shorter course than Morgado Golf Course (Par 71), but it has all the features needed to meet the expectations of the most demanding golfer. More than a golf test, this is a course that attests to the harmony that can be achieved between man and nature.
