The Pine Cliffs Golf Course is one of Portugal’s most original golf courses, built in an extension of 168 acres of pine wood at the edge of spectacular cliffs, overlooking the beautiful beaches of the Algarve and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. The Pine Cliffs Golf Course kept the original natural surroundings and is located near Albufeira, inserted in the Sheraton Algarve Hotel Resort, in Portugal.
The 9-hole Pine Cliffs Golf Course, in the Algarve, Portugal, is not very long, only two holes run to more than 360 metres, yet despite this it presents an interesting challenge for the golfer, regardless of handicap.
The Pinecliffs golf course opens with two undemanding holes, but the challenge gets tougher from the 3rd hole, a Par 4 for which the drive must go through a narrow gap between pine trees. With the steep rise from the fairway to the green, be sure to an extra club for your approach to the green.
After the 5th hole of the Pine Cliffs, Albufeira, (the only Par 5 on the Pinecliffs golf course) comes the crown jewel, the Devil's Parlour, a Par 3 with a championship tee built over a ravine that requires a 198 meter carrying shot over the cliff tops to a large undulating green.
