Morgado do Reguengo was designed by Russell Talley. A new addition to the fine courses in the Algarve, is a long narrow accuracy course where long and accurate hitters will fare well. Located in a valley surrounded by vineyards, the scenery is spectacular and lend the course a relaxing and serene air.
Alamos is the most recent golf course to open in the Algarve, the sister course to the Morgado do Reuguengo occupies the same beautiful location among vineyard covered mountains. Shorter and with less bunkers than its sister course, however do not be fooled into thinking this is a simple course, it is just that the challenges and hazards are more subtle.
Founded in 1975, Palmares golf course was designed by Frank Pennink and boasts fine links on natural sand dunes bordered by endless Atlantic coastline. Five of the holes are situated on sand dunes, the remaining thirteen are laid out among gently undulating hills.
