DESTINATION GOLF PORTUGAL 2025

Faldo( Amendoeira)

At Amendoeira Golf Resort, you’ ll discover two world-class championship golf courses, designed by golfing legends Sir Nick Faldo and Christy O’ Connor Jnr. Designed by Sir Nick Faldo with strategic play in mind this 6578m Par 72 championship course demands careful positioning to score well.“ The land at Amendoeira is dramatic and the project has the potential to be a real talking point in the Algarve. With so many courses in the region, that’ s no mean feat”, pointed out Nick Faldo, during his visit in 2007. In a modern twist of a traditional recipe, cacti and wild herbs replace the role of Sunningdale’ s heather, spartan Holm oaks and ancient olive trees take the place of a lush English woodland, and desert scrub bunkers of crushed limestone replace Berkshire’ s sandy tracts in a golf course that revels in the classic principles of strategic play.
