Portugal Golf – Chez Carlos Golf Society Tournament – A rescheduled event saw the Chez Carlos Golf Society move from Palmares Golf Course to O’Connor Jnr. Easter time always sees an influx of players looking for a game and it was no different on this occasion with many keen for a competitive game amongst friends.

Designed by Christy O’Connor Jnr., this Algarve Golf course complements the neighbouring Oceanico Faldo Course and also takes full advantage of being situated in a fertile valley. Its various water features, both lakes and watercourses that are spread throughout the entire course, demand accuracy and test from all golfers, and the rich topsoil has been skillfully landscaped and planted with mature palm trees, affording a lush, ornamental setting like an extensive oasis.

This course has tees that are generally connected to the fairways, but its greater overall distance, the water hazards and big greens provide its challenge.

An ensemble gathered together under blue skies to take on this challenge. Perfect conditions allowed for some good scoring. Fine performance by Fraser once again even with a blob on the last hole.

Results:

1st: Fraser Graham (h/cap 5): 37pts
2nd: Trevor Coleman: 35pts

Nearest The Pin:

13th: Joao Paulo
17th: Fraser Graham

Golf in Portugal: Oceânico Faldo Golf Course

Oceânico Faldo Golf Course - Algarve, Portugal

Oceânico Faldo Golf Course – Algarve, Portugal – Chez Carlos Algarve Golfe Society

Golf in Portugal: The 23rd of April Chez Carlos Algarve Golf Society tournament was held at the marvelous Oceânico Faldo Golf Course in Algarve, Portugal. A Sir Nick Faldo design golf course opened in 2008 which runs side by side with O’Connor. A big up and down course with elevated greens.

The greens are not very big and are very fast, with lots of bunkers. If you don’t make the ball fly then you have some difficulty. Faldo golf course would suit players with a medium and medium low handicap and is a very friendly course for ladies enabling them to enjoy a shorter distance with 1155m between the red and yellow tees. A nice golf course with beautiful views to the country side, you will see here cacti, wild herbs and olive trees.

Yesterday it was a beautiful sunny day although slightly windy for what turned out to be a wonderful competition among all the players.

Winner Clive Davies
