Club History : The course was designed by two architects, William Mitchel was responsible for holes 1 to 5 and 15 to 18, while Joseph Lee and Rocky Roquemore designed the course from hole 6 to 14

Club Details : The terrain of Ria Formosa, with the characteristics of the Algarve"s sandy soil, is covered by pine trees, heather, and wild flowers, is identical to Quinta do Lago"s. It offers, however, very different challenges. The course has four magnificent Par 5 holes. The Par 4 are generally doglegs, with the exception of holes 10 and 13. The Par 3 holes are influenced by the wind, requiring very precise shots. In holes 13 and 18 lakes make a good score quite difficult. The fairways and tees are mainly covered with Bermuda 41T mixed to cold season grass, keeping in good condition throughout the year. The greens, however, are covered with Penn Gross Bent Grass, creating quick conditions and a regular surface. The course offers the same facilities as Quinta do Lago

How to Get There : 15 kms west of Faro.
