Amendoeira Golf Resort – Faldo Course

Enjoy 270 hectares of tranquility in the center of Algarve, in an area of outstanding natural beauty comprising two award winning championship golf courses designed by Sir Nick Faldo and Christy O’Connor Jr, the only illuminated Par 3 in Portugal, a natural grass football field for professional teams, two astroturf 5-a-side football fields, six tennis courts and two communal swimming pools. In Amendoeira, every detail is carefully thought out to provide you and your family the best experience.

Designed by Sir Nick Faldo with strategic play in mind this 6598m 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.

Course stats: 18 holes, 7152 yards, par: 72
