About the course
This is a course of the greatest beauty, perfectly blending coastal and mountain sceneries. Its clubhouse, set between holes nine and ten, provides a fantastic view over the Atlantic coastline. The course is a masterpiece of Frank Pennink, one of the most prominent golf course designers in Portugal. At Palmares, which is close to the beautiful and historic western Algarve town of Lagos, Pennink has created a course of undeniable beauty and quality. The reputation of the course derives from its skilful use of two different kinds of landscape, as well as its excellent level of maintenance. So, after starting out on a difficult dogleg par 4 from a high tee, the golfer soon gets into the links, which runs behind Meia Praia, a great expanse of white and high dunes. At hole no. 6 the course turns back inland in the direction of the clubhouse. From here on the player faces just the opposite challenge with holes designed along gently undulating valleys bordered by pine trees, and affording beautiful views over Lagos Bay and the Monchique Mountains. It is a perfect mixture of a links and inland golf. From the veranda of the clubhouse, set between holes 9 and 10, the view covers 25 kilometres of the Atlantic coastline.
