This wonderful 6598m, par 72 championship course was designed by – you guessed it – Sir Nick Faldo, and it certainly lives up to his name. The course demands that you use your brain and develop a strategy to avoid the various water hazards, olive trees, rocky outcrops and bunkers that also add to the aesthetic appeal of this challenging course. It is enhanced by the dramatic Amendoeira landscape, which makes for lovely views of the surrounding area – just make sure that you don’t get too distracted!

Oceanico O’Connor Jnr.
This round of 18, designed by Christy O'Connor Jnr, is as challenging as it is enjoyable. Its lush setting takes full advantage of the fertile valley, and there are a number of water features along the way, including picturesque lakes and watercourses that require great accuracy to avoid. You’re sure to get a good workout here, as navigating the large greens with subtle contours takes careful thought and precision. The eighteenth hole is the highlight; there’s a river running alongside the right-hand side, as well as a gentle climb that allows for mesmerizing views once you close off the round.
