Sam BrunMay 19, 2026Balanced golf course.
Neil WillsdonApril 19, 2026Stunning yet challenging.
Brian MarshJuly 20, 2025Excellent value fir money. Greens a little slow but the grass is a little long to protect against the heat. Variety from every hole, not just drive, pitch and putt. One for the Algarve bucket list
Steffi Gruhner-MeinigMarch 27, 2025Man weiß nie wo es hingeht und viele Berge und Wellen
Edith WitowetzFebruary 09, 2025Hübscher, hügeliger Platz mit Olivenbäumen. Pflegezustand vom E-Trollye (quietscht) bis hin zum Clubhaus am Ende der Runde könnte (auch im Februar) besser sein.
