This latest course belonging to the Pestana Group is surrounded by typical Algarve fruit orchards and small farms.

The course has been designed to test the golfer's quality in hitting a well directed ball using the correct choice of club. This point is immediately emphasised as you stand on the first tee faced by two water hazards flanking the fairway. The course has been described as designed for attacking play whilst the bunkers are well placed to cause possible trouble to the "big hitters". Most holes offer a spectacular mountain and valley view, overlooking palm and olive groves.

There is a memorable, massive and serene old olive tree on the fairway of the opening hole, it is said that it is older than the Portuguese nation.
