Palmares

Just 45 minutes from Faro International Airport (Algarve) this sea-side town is the Nº1 holiday destination in the world for TripAdvisor 2012!

Robert Trent Jones Jr.: CV with over 270 golf courses in 6 continents, including remodeling Celtic Manor for the 2010 Ryder Cup. RTJ Jr. is the son of the legendary Robert Trent Jones Sr. According to the Golf Research Group: “Today the Robert Trent Jones II name is the most powerful brand in the business”.

“One of the Algarve’s very first golf courses, “Palmares”, near the popular western tourist town of Lagos, has been transformed into a new 27-hole golf course. Designed by the famous golf architect, Robert Trent Jones Jr., Palmares Golf offers something quite different from other Algarve golf courses. Robert Trent Jones II designed the golf course with the highest level of international tournament golf in mind as well as a pleasurable golf experience for members and tourists alike. The three loops of nine holes – the Alvor, Lagos and Praia courses – enjoy expansive panoramic views across the Bay of Lagos and Ria de Alvor.

The course is as breathtaking as the milieu with each distinctive loop enjoying its own unique setting. The Alvor is predominantly parkland, on the elevated areas of the site; Lagos combines parkland and dunes and is named after the two small lakes contained within it; and Praia, laid out upon the site’s lowlands, presents a links experience through impressive natural and restored coastal dunes. The views of the Atlantic Ocean, the river in the Alvor Estuary and the dramatic height changes, intimate valleys and sand-dunes make playing Palmares Golf an incredible experience.

Holes 27: Alvor (1st Tee) , Lagos (10th tee) , Praia (19th tee)

Handicap: Men 28, Ladies 36
Other handicaps up to 54: Allowed on request, only on specific times.
