This is a championship golf course designed by Nick Faldo, with strategic play in mind. The course demands careful positioning to score well, rocky outcrops, meandering watercourses and views to the distant mountains and orange groves define its essential character.

The 6,604 meters par72 Nick Faldo golf course demands careful positioning to score well. The opening holes play through mature trees, offering a number of “risk and reward” opportunities. This is a course that demands and rewards; a very thoughtful approach. This, coupled with the vastness of the landscape here, will make for a dramatic and entirely engaging round of golf.

The first hole of the Faldo golf course is a testing uphill par 4, offering a number of 'risk and reward' opportunities, focusing the player on the challenges which lie ahead.

There are a couple of downhill holes soon after the start.  The downhill, Par 5, fourth, encounters a meandering watercourse, which comes into play on three of the front nine holes and two of the inward. On the fifth, there is an option of a spectacular shot across the largest lake on the resort. The start of the back nine takes the golfer from the high tees to the plain below before the eleventh, the shortest hole on the course, takes you back into the hills before you have to attempt to master the massive Par 5 thirteenth (the highest point on the course, 50m above the plain), which when the wind is behind the player demands consistent shot making all the way to the hole. The fourteenth and fifteenth continue to challenge the golfer, sometimes playing amongst rocky outcrops. After leaving the high ground to the west, the eighteenth brings the game to a close with a magnificent Par5.

You can expect the back nine to be very hilly and they include several which will become the talking point of the 'nineteenth hole'.

There are a lot of golf courses on the Algarve, but the Nick Faldo golf course is different to anything else. It is built on wonderful terrain that gives the course character and personality unlike any other. There is a great colour contrast, from green to terracotta to white bunkers, all under blue skies. It looks very impressive.
