About the course
Situated in one of the best-known regions of the Algarve, between Albufeira and Armação de Pêra, Salgados is already a "postcard" of Portuguese golf. In fact, the proximity of the sea and the variety of lakes make this a very interesting test of golfing skills, different from other courses in the Algarve. The original project is by the Portuguese designer Pedro de Vasconcelos with more recent contributions from other Portuguese architects. But the final layout was strongly influenced by Robert Muir Graves. This links, full of water hazards, is not very long, yet you will need all your skills to reach the greens. The accuracy of the drive is crucial for achieving a good score, thus making the course a pleasant experience, especially for technically-skilled players. The eighteen holes are well-balanced, as each half of the course has two par 5 holes of approx. 500 metres/547 yards, and three par 3 of more than 170 metres/205 yards. Other amenities include: Private beach.
