Gramacho golf course is unique being the only one of its type of design on the continent of Europe; it is one of only a few courses in the world with 18 sets of tees and 27 greens but only 18 fairways.

Gramacho golf course was designed by the North-American Ronald Fream along with Nick Price (the former world number one player). They created a uniquely designed 18 hole course. With the 27 varied greens the golfer is able to play the same course several times with different greens and new challenges.

The design technique has placed the greens and protective bunkers so that an 18 hole round is a genuine challenge. The positioning of the tee markers helps to increase this variety still further.

In the Nick Price style, the wonderful characteristics already existing on the site, from the boulder outcrops and dry stone walling to the fig, carob and olive trees, have been complemented by artfully positioned lakes and bunkers. These hazards, combined with the design of the greens and fairways, result in a challenging but attractive course.

From the first stroke off the tee to the final green, the player must not just play the ball well but also adopt the best strategy to achieve an optimum result. At the end of the round, experienced golfers will be able to confirm that they have played a very fine golf course.

The Gramacho golf course is part of the Pestana Golf Resort situated in the heart of Algarve, and close to the fishing village of Carvoeiro, some 60 kilometres from Faro Airport. As in the case of the Vale da Pinta golf course, this course is maintained at tournament standard all the year round.
