Pestana Silves is a serene spot, but the course is anything but the
proverbial walk in the park. From the very opening tee shot, the
golfer is faced with water hazards on both sides, rewarding the
brave with an easier approach to the green. Silves encourages and
rewards attacking play. The excellent condition, all year round,
is ideal for low scoring. A constant text of precision play will be
rewarded with birdie chances. Most holes offer a spectacular
mountain and valley view, overlooking palm trees and olive
groves. This new course is designed by Sir Henry Cotton and is

waterfalls and wonderful views over the sea. So, if you want to
practise your short iron shots, spend some time in a beautiful and
relaxing landscape and enjoy yourself at the same time, you will
not be disappointed by this course.
