Club History : Designed by Joseph Lee of the USA, the course"s impeccable upkeep and its rare beauty make this an attractive challenge for any player

Club Details : Situated in the Quinta do Lago development and forming part of the Natural Park of Ria Formosa, a round on this course begins with an enticing but almost unachievable Par 5, before continuing to the three following holes along rolling, pine tree-fringed fairways. The outward first five holes are through the pine tree forest. Water and good hole layouts provides the hazards that play a big part in players having to select clubs and hit with care. It is from hole number 5, however, that the most extraordinary part begins, offering wonderful views over the Atlantic Ocean. At hole number eight the course turns back inland and faces the largest of the lakes. For the next four holes the course again turns seawards and ends with a Par 4 hole whose green is surrounded by the waters of the second lake that is waiting for the inaccurate shot. A remarkable end to a remarkable course. The course also has an excellent practice area

How to Get There : 20 kms west of Faro airport..
