GRAMACHO |
||||||||
| Nick Price, the former world Nr.1 player, teamed up with the well-known golf course architect Ronald Fream, to create a uniquely designed 18 hole course with 27 varied greens that enable the golfer to play the same course several time with different greens and new challenges.The design technique has positioned the greens and protective bunkers so that an 18 hole round is a genuine challenge. The positioning of the tee markers helps to increase this variety still further. In the Nick Price style, the wonderful characteristics already existing on the site, from the boulder outcrops and dry stone walling to the fig, carob and olive trees, have been complemented by artfully positioned lakes and bunkers. These hazards, combined with the design of the greens and fairways, result in a challenging but attractive course, that is maintained at tournament standard all the year round. | ||||||||

VALE DA PINTA |
||||||||
| The Pinta course is one of the best-designed courses in Europe. It is a Championship course with an exceptional layout designed by the famous American golf course architect, Ronald Fream, and inaugurated in 1992. It has earned a deserved reputation for the outstanding level of maintenance of the course, and its design, which makes it a challenge to golfers of all standards. The Pinta course was 5 consecutive time host to the Seniors Tour. The fairways are Bermuda grass, while strategically positioned sand bunkers protect the greens, clad in Pen Cross Bent, and two ornamental lakes influence play at four different holes around the course. The rolling terrain is dotted with carob, fig, almond and olive trees, some of which are more than 600 years old, and a very special feature of this course is one olive tree that dates back more than 1200 years. | ||||||||
|
SILVES GOLF |
||||||||
| Silves is a serene spot, but the course is anything but the proverbial walk in the park. A drive as the opening hole has to flirt with two water hazards on both flanks. A heroic and straight shot will reward the player with an easy uphill approach. Silves encourages and rewards attacking play. The excellent condition, all year round, is ideal for low scoring. A relentless test in precision, this course has no peers. It is the “archetype” of man-sized parkland golf. Most holes offer a spectacular mountain and valley view, overlooking palm trees and olive groves. The severity of the bunkering is enough defence against the onslaught of the games big guns. | ||||||||
