Great Golfing Courses To Be Visited In All Of The Algarve Or Possibly Anywhere

By Paul Stubbs

Created by William Roquemore Jr. , Quinta de Cima is really a spectacular 18-hole golf course situated inside the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve. There are both the beautiful sceneries of the sea and mountains from anywhere along the course. Many of the holes are dog-legs. Greens are protected by bunkers and lakes particularly the last 3 finishing holes. A stream crosses holes 4, 5, 6 and 13. There will be no real-estate construction on the Quinta de Cima course.

This new sister course to Quinta de Ria is of a championship character that will offer an enjoyable challenge for most players. From the rolling land planted with almond trees it provides open fairways, well-arranged bunkers and enough water to draw in the odd misdirected golf ball. The 1st two holes indicate the real nature on the course emphasizing the requirement for good club selection coupled with accuracy. Players are making their remarks concerning the tricky Par 5 16th hole and the significant eighteenth.

A stream with dams and stable water crosses holes 4, 5, 6 and 13. The Golf Course is surrounded to the north with the national road and spreads towards the South where its limits are municipal roads that ends up in Quinta de Ria.

The greens have been seeded with Bent Crenshaw. Tees and fairways are covered with Zoysia among the Driving Ranges which consists of generous dimensions and were built in the South/North direction, when hitting from the northern tees, it's possible to appreciate the breathtaking view from the mountains along with the Ocean. Though from any part of the course both of the sea and also the Algarve mountains certainly were a delight to anyone's eyes.

On the other drive range designed for practice with irons, there is the Robinson Golf Academy. It includes 3 greens and 6 tees for the teaching of the different types of game with irons, such as how to get away from a bunker to a green 120 m distant.
