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
