Alamos
Course Notes - PORTUGAL - NEILS TRAVEL WEB| Overview |
This 'newish' course (2006) is a complimentary course to Golfe do Morgado. At 6200 yards, par 71 it is a shade shorter than the original course. With a varied landscape, including lots of flowers, the course runs next to two large lakes, through wide valleys with superb views of the Monchique mountain range to the north. The course has a couple of very useful toilet 'blocks', one halfway out the other halfway in. The large clubhouse (shared with the Morgado course) affords an excellent ‘gallery’ view of the Morgado course / eighteenth. A nice bar that does light meals and snacks, and an extremely smart restaurant. Facilities include chipping and putting greens, club hire, trolleys and buggies. 2007 Update: The fairways have now been completely landscaped and grown in, a tremendous improvement for playability as well as visually. The greens are to an exceptional standard and boy are they fast. It will require an expert eye to read the lie as they are rarely flat and a putt to the flag could take you much further away if you are not careful. Directions: Take the road to the north from Portimão in the direction of Monchique and Silves and under the new A22 Motorway. From the access roundabout of the A22 follow the signs to Monchique and Silves. After 1.1 kms take the well signposted left turn and drive a further 1.2 kms to the west where you take a right turn into the Morgado Estate. Follow the road to the Club House.
