About the course
Parque da Floresta is a course built on hillsides and over uneven ground with views over a fishing village. With a number of different obstacles such as bunkers, lakes and rivers, it provides challenges of great diversity. Parque da Floresta is the centre of a private residential development, and its course runs over hills behind the fishing village of Salema, which is near the historic town Lagoa and not far from the Costa Vicentina Natural Reserve. Its eighteen widely varying holes run through valleys and eucalyptus-covered ravines, while around the course olive, palm and pine trees are planted. The first hole of 525 metres/574 yards for a par 5, faces east, and presents a serious challenge for those intending to reach its green in just two shots. Hole no. 5 is a par 3 over 108 metres/118 yards; but here the ball is only playable if it falls straight onto the green. These first nine holes end memorably, for the third shot to the green must go over a creek. On the second round the highlight is hole number 11 with its green protected by water. Notable too is hole number 18 which ends in an amphitheatre placed right below the clubhouse. The clubhouse is typically Portuguese, and provides spectacular panoramic views over mountains and the sea and over no less than eleven holes. Other amenities include: Tennis courts, bowling, large outdoor swimming pool.
