Portugal Golf – Salgados golf course in Algarve

Salgados golf course Bacalhau Strings Tournament

Salgados golf course Bacalhau Strings Tournament

An invitation was extended from Salgados Golf Course to Chez Carlos Golf Society to participate in their *Strings* tournament.

7 of our members accepted and were met with a warm day with an abundance of wind and anyone who has played Salgados knows that means some difficult playing conditions are in your immediate future.

The golf course itself is actually in top notch condition and the greens were quite quick. Putts had to be judged for speed quite precisely or there was a penalty to be paid for any exuberant efforts that missed.

The greens were near perfect for roll and it is appreciated that it was apparent the earlier groups made the effort to repair their pitch marks which isn’t always the case around the Algarve. The concept of the Strings game was somewhat lost on a few of our members but the round actually moved along at a reasonable pace. None of our Chez Carlos group placed in the prizes for scoring, but Jim Gillis came away with the long drive prize of one large bacalhau. As has been the case in these Salgados events, the lunch provided afterwards was spectacular.

Several codfish dishes and plenty of other options for those born without the I like fish gene, with an assortment of salad options and a well-done sweets and fruit table for dessert. The cheesecake was amazing and there was plenty of wine which seemed to be much appreciated by all. Simply said, the value for these events hosted by Salgados are unbeatable and everyone has a great time. Its a bit of an earlier start than our usual, but highly recommended to try at least once.

Costa Adeje Golf Course

Canary Islands

The excitement for the best golf on the old continent is evident in the three rounds of the Canarian Swing, a professional golf tournament played at Costa Adeje Golf Course in the wonderful Spanish island of Tenerife. The tournament is intended to be a one-off event and will be played the week after the Tenerife Open also at Costa Adeje Golf Course, creating a three-week swing of events in the Canary Islands.

It was not a championship with an excessive presence of the best players. Were only three on the first page of the standings: Garrick Higgo (65), Antoine Rozner (68) and John Catlin (82).

The South African Garrick Higgo will be just one of the names to follow, as the United States is already looking at its enormous progression since winning the Gran Canaria Lopesan Open at the Meloneras Golf Course.

The follow competitions will be at Real Club Valderrama Golf Course, the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters and the Spanish Open at Villa de Madrid Golf Course.

With these confirmations, Spain has once again become one of the great organizers of the European Tour tournaments.

For Tee Times Golf Agency these tournaments are of great importance and visibility for both Spain and the Resorts and Golf Courses involved, such as Costa Adeje Golf Course a wonderful Golf Resort which boasts an 18 hole golf course of par 72 and a 9 hole golf course of par 33.
For very pleasant rounds at Costa Adeje Golf Course we suggest the Week Experience golf package for 5 rounds, as well as the next-door golf courses; Las Américas Golf Course (18 holes, par 72), Abama Golf Course (18 holes, par 72) and Amarilla Golf & Country Club (27 holes, par 71) where 18 or more rounds with or without buggy can be appreciated at very special rates.
For an even more complete and pleasant stay, do not miss the deluxe and charming hotels; Vincci La Plantacion del Sur *****, Iberostar Grand Hotel El Mirador ***** and H10 Atlantic Sunset ***** where several night packages will be prepared according to your dreams.
