Alamos

Opened in 2006 , the Alamos course is one of the young courses to be added to the Algarve golf portfolio . Lying to the north of Portimao , it is located close to Morgado , and the setting is a large 980-hectare estate through small , undulating valleys . Alamos has particularly large greens which demand a strong day with your putter and an excellent all-round short game . In places , the greens are quite undulating with several tiers . Deep bunkers hang close to the greens and require accurate approach shots . This course is full of character and is rapidly growing in stature .

Parque de Floresta

Almos
Situated in the western-most part of the Algarve , 15 minutes from the city of Lagos , this varied course spreads across hillsides overlooking the ocean . The Parque da Floresta golf course was designed by the Spanish architect Pepe Gancedo , whose general philosophy was to interfere with nature as little as possible . The fairways therefore follow the natural contours of the terrain , spreading through the valleys and gorges with their vineyards and eucalyptus groves , and bordered by olive trees , palms and pines . With an enjoyable par-71 course and full resort facilities , Parque da Floresta always proves popular with tourists .
