Vale da Pinta Course
The Vale da Pinta is a fantastic parkland
course, measuring 6,728 yards. Like the
resort’s further two courses, it was designed
by Ron Fream, a highly regarded American
golf architect, and features a number
of lakes which are as testing as they are
beautiful.
Gramacho Course
Designer Fream was aided by multiple
major-winner Nick Price in creating the Gra-
macho Course, the second at Carvoeiro.
The Gramacho is unique in that it has 18
sets of tees, but has 27 greens.
Silves Course
Just ten minutes away is the Silves
Course, the third on offer for guests at the
Carvoeiro resort. Silves is a typical resort
course, with generous rolling fairways, and
a number of large water hazards.
Alto Golf & Country Club
Situated in a stunning private community
in the Western Algarve, Alto was the last
course to be designed by the legendary Sir
Henry Cotton.
Vila Sol
One of the great names in Algarve golf,
Vila Sol is a real gem that’s hard to beat.
Accommodation
The resort at Carvoeiro offers outstanding
self-catered accommodation and repre-
sents outstanding Algarve value.
The accommodation consists of 115
apartments and 169 private villas which are
spacious and modern. Notable features
include full equipped kitchens, deluxe
bathrooms, washing machine, central
heating, direct dial telephone and satellite
television.
The Gramacho restaurant serves breakfast,
lunch, dinner and works like a Pub in the
end of the day.

CS SAO RAFAEL SUITE HOTEL
ALBUFEIRA
Golf
For residents at the five-star Sao Rafael
Suite Hotel, there are three terrific CS golf
courses close at hand. The first, Salgados,
is the nearest, and is a challenging layout
that has a distinct links feel to it, with
the threat of water never too far in the
distance.
A short transfer will bring you to the Mor-
gado and Alamos Courses, set in striking
location with the Monchique Mountains
serving as the backdrop.
Morgado stretches beyond the mighty
7,000-
yard mark, and can be intimidating
from the tips, but there are tees to suit
all comers, while Alamos, meanwhile, is
slightly more gentle, and notable for its
undulating, tricky greens and more than a
few water hazards.
Accommodation
The CS Sao Rafael Suite Hotel is blessed
with spacious, comfortable and golf-
friendly accommodation options, providing
guests with extra space and privacy when
compared with standard hotel rooms.
There are 101 beautifully furnished suites,
all with large, private balconies, and vis-
tors will welcome the opportunity to take
advantage of the onsite Spa centre, where
the highlights include the jacuzzi, sauna
and Turkish bath.
There is a tennis court and no less than four
swimming pools, while the culinary options
at Sao Rafael are more than enticing.
Should you feel like exploring, the town of
Albufeira is a short taxi ride away, where an
array of restaurants and bars await.

OCEÂNICO AMENDOEIRA GOLF RESORT
NEAR SILVES

Nights, B&B,

Rounds
from
£175
pp
Set in an area of outstanding natural
beauty, the Oceânico Amendoeira Golf
Resort enjoys fabulous views to the mag-
nificent Monchique Mountains and across
rolling hills to verdant valleys of almond,
olive and carob trees, all the while being
within a stone’s throw of some of the finest
golf courses in the country.
Accommodation
The accommodations at the resort range
from spacious two bedroom apartments
to grand four bedroom villas; perfect for
couples and groups of golfers alike. All
apartments are served by communal pools
while those who opt for a villa will enjoy
the peaceful benefits of their own private
pool; the perfect place to cool off after a
long day on the fairways. Accommodations
are stylishly decorated and well equipped
with modern amenities. Elevated hillside
settings ensure that you will be treated
to magnificent views across the two golf
courses and surrounding countryside.
Golf
The Oceânico Faldo Course and Oceânico
O’Connor Jnr. Course are among the best
on the Algarve. Faldo’s course traverses
undulating terrain and demands that the
golfer exercise considerable strategy and
thought.
O’Connor’s layout is the perfect
complement to Faldo’s more undulating
creation. The undisputed highlight of the
Oceânico O’Connor Jnr. Course is the
designer’s take on Augusta National’s
‘
Amen Corner’ – holes 7, 8 and 9 are
skirted at various points by a great lake
which snakes its way through three
splendid holes.
