Practise your putt in Portimao
Lying to the north of Portimao, in the Algarve, Morgado Golf Course and its sister course Alamos are laid out in a large and very quiet estate through undulating small valleys, in the Algarve countryside. Morgado Golf Course is probably one of the longest, par 73, in the Algarve, Portugal. The immediate main characteristic factor is its large greens which place demand on good putting skills, not to forget the deep fairway bunkers: very testing!
Relatively easy to play
The Morgado golf course is home to five Par 5's, nine Par 4's and four Par 3's. Morgado golf has the typical charactheristics of a links course – with flat fairways and Scottish-inspired bunkers – but which, instead of being beside the sea, like a traditional links, is set in an area of parkland. Besides its lenght, Morgado golf course has an impressive average green size (800 m2) and some beautifull lakes.
According to the architects, "from a design viewpoint the Morgado Golf Course looks very tough, but it plays fair. There are no forced ‘carries’ onto any greens, which means there are no obstacles, like bunkers or water bodies, that are completely in front of a green; there is always more than one route to get on the green.
Wind, as it is usual in the Algarve, will play an important role in the challenge of the holes.
Morgado Golf is a flexible course and the pin positions on the greens can either soften a hole or, make it more testing and dangerous".
