BENAMOR

Benamor Golf is located in the Algarve, just a few kilometres east of the ancient city of Tavira. The course was completed in the spring of 2000. In the nearby foothills of Barrocal, you will enjoy some of the best mountain and sea views the Algarve has to offer. But maybe most enjoyable of all, are the peaceful surroundings of a construction free resort. Sir Henry Cotton designed the course and was inspired by the beautiful old church next to the site of the Clubhouse and by the spectacular location. The final result is a delightful par 71 golf course of 5.500 metres (6.100 yards), which offers a pleasant playing experience, to players of all standards. The course is undulating but not hilly. The views of the mountains to the North and the Atlantic Ocean to the South are stunning. The indigenous olive, cork, carob, fig and almond trees, many centuries old, feature aesthetically and in playing terms. Water hazards and sand bunkers are located to test the strategy and striking ability of the player. The Penn A4 greens and tees are simply superb. The fairways of Bermuda Sahara and cool-season grasses, provide good lies for wood and iron shots. The driving range, putting green and large putting course offer excellent practice facilities.

QUINTA DA RIA

The first of the two 18-hole courses stretches over an area with spectacular views, on the east coast of the Algarve, better known as the Sotavento. The Quinta da Ria golf course, located in the Ria Formosa Natural Park, has been described by experienced golfers as one of the most beautiful in the region. In fact, overlooking the estuary of the Ria Formosa, the views to the sand below and to the shuttle of the tides, are breath-taking. When designing the course Quinta da Ria, the architect Rocky Rocquemore knew how to preserve the natural habitat by taking advantage of the existing natural landscape, which has already been described by many golfers as one of the most beautiful in the region. The view over the sea and the sand to the south and the mountain view to the north, make Quinta da Ria a real paradise for golfers. Along the 18 holes we find five large lakes, which serve as habitat for a wide variety of fauna species and are also an important resource for field watering. The innumerable carob trees, olive trees and existing almond trees contribute to the balance of the ecosystem.
