A Golf Experience Unlike Any Other in Europe
While most courses offer 18 holes, this course stands out with its 27-hole layout, divided into three distinct 9-hole loops: Alvor, Lagos, and Praia. Each loop offers a unique golfing experience, from tree-lined parkland fairways to links-style holes running along the Atlantic coast. The ability to mix and match the loops allows for a fresh challenge every time you play.
Designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones Jr., the course masterfully integrates the natural Algarve landscape into a strategic and memorable round of golf. Elevated tees, undulating greens, and stunning vistas ensure that every hole is as beautiful as it is rewarding.
Breathtaking Views and Tranquil Surroundings
Perched above the Bay of Lagos, the course boasts some of the most spectacular views in European golf. The terrain cascades down from the hills towards the ocean, with sweeping panoramas of sand dunes, beach, and sea. A nearby railway line even crosses the landscape, adding a touch of charm to the already picturesque setting.
What truly sets this course apart is its atmosphere: it offers a tranquil, uncrowded alternative to the busier golf hubs of southern Europe. Here, you’ll find wide fairways, whispering pines, and the sound of waves crashing in the distance — a perfect environment for focused, peaceful play.
Award-Winning Facilities
In 2024, the course’s clubhouse was named the Best Clubhouse in Europe by the Golf Awards, and it’s easy to see why. With floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the course and ocean, it combines modern architecture with natural beauty. Golfers can relax in elegant comfort, browse premium equipment at the pro shop, or enjoy fine dining at AL Sud, the Michelin-starred restaurant on site.
This elevated experience, from course design to hospitality, helps explain why so many golfers return here year after year — and why others are only just beginning to discover it.
