· Palmares
This is a course of great beauty, close to the historic town of Lagos, perfectly blending beach and mountain scenery. Its clubhouse, set between the ninth and tenth holes, provides a fantastic panorama over 25km of the Atlantic coastline. Besides its excellent level of maintenance, the reputation of the course derives from its perfect marriage between two types of landscape.
After starting with a difficult dog-leg par 4 from a high tee, the golfer enters the links which run along Meia Praia, a great expanse of white sands and high dunes. On the sixth, the course heads back inland towards the clubhouse. From here, the challenge is totally the opposite, with the remaining holes designed along undulating valleys bordered by pine trees, affording magnificent views over Lagos bay and the Monchique mountains.
