Destination Golf Portugal 2021

Benamor

Officially opened in March 2000 , this course is the first golf course to open east of the capital of the Algarve , Faro , and lies just outside of Tavira . The owning Martins Dias family invited the late Sir Henry Cotton make a concept design for an 18-hole course . Sir Henry was inspired by the beautiful church next to the site of the Clubhouse and by its spectacular location . The final result is a delightful par 71 golf course of 5,500metres . Benamor offers all golfers a pleasant test of golf . 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 greens , tees and fairways are always kept in good condition . Players ’ accuracy is particularly called upon by the architects ’ retention of as many of the old trees as feasible . www . benamorgolf . com
