Benamor Golf
Quinta do Benamor (Conceição Tavira), Algarve, Portugal
Designed by Sir Henry Cotton,
Benamor was the first course built east of Faro in the Algarve. There
are views to the Atlantic and Tavira Island to the south and towards the
hills and valleys in the north. The first hole is a par 4 dogleg with
an elevated green protected by bunkers. Many of the par 4s on the front
nine are relatively short, so this course is friendly to all playing levels.
On the back nine, water comes into play on the 10th hole, a par 3 over
water, on the 13th where a stream crosses the fairway, and on the 17th
where a pond guards the green. To finish, there is a long par 5 of 512
metres. The 18th green is backed by a charming Algarvean church -- another
pretty spot to enjoy.
