Montado
Host to many professional tournament from the
European Challenge Tour, Montado has received
praise from the best players in Europe. Set in
flat terrain, the Montado has been built to the
south of Setúbal in a landscape planted with old cork-oaks, young
olive-trees, chestnuts and pines, whilst all around it wind a series
of creeks and natural lakes. A feature hole at Montado is the
scenic thirteenth, a par 4 that affords a fine view of Palmela castle
and provides an excellent opportunity for a birdie. Surrounded
by the famous muscatel vineyards that were first planted here
more than a century ago, the Montado course has already hosted
international tournaments, such as the Axa Challenge Tour and
the Grand Final of the European Challenge Tour (1997).
