One of the most prestigious and well known names in the development of golf courses, Robert Trent Jones Jr. signs the project for these completely new 27 holes at Palmares.
Surrounded by various ambiances, with a dazzling view over the Meia-Praia bay, this golf course enables an exciting game, particularly in the holes by the sand dunes along the Atlantic shore. With a system of returning nines, you get, as background, the Serra de Monchique, the sea, the ria de Alvor and the pine forest.
At the centre of all the action is the Club-House and a comprehensive Driving Range with various Pitching and Putting Greens so that you can perfect your game before entering the course.
Robert Trent Jones Jr described the project: “Palmares Golf Course is special on so many levels. The expansive ocean vistas, dramatic elevation changes, quintessential Mediterranean intimate valleys, and expansive dunes land have blessed us with the environment to craft a golf course with an enormous depth of character and challenge.“
