Castro Marim, Algarve, Portugal
Designed by Seve Ballesteros, the Quinta do Vale Golf Resort course is an excellent challenge for beginners and a unique opportunity for more experienced golfers to put their techniques and skill to the test. The renowned Spanish golfer’s promise was simple: to please everyone regardless of their handicap. This new course is a strong candidate for hosting important international championships.
Phenomenally integrated into the landscape and with a breathtaking view over the Guadiana River, the course makes good use of the natural conditions of the terrain and has some truly spectacular holes. The degree of difficulty between the holes is well balanced and means that the course is competitive and thrilling to the end. The different tees, the relatively large fairways and the many dog-leg holes and hazards which make the choice of club off the tee crucial, will benefit players who can reach par 3s and 4s in regulation and get birdies on the par 5s.
Covering an area of 75 hectares, the course is fully integrated into the surrounding natural landscape, taking full advantage of the irregularities of the terrain (embankments, lakes, bunkers, hillocks, hollows) which give a unique personality to each of the 18 holes.
