Santo Antonio Golf
Golf St Antonio, ex Parque da Floresta use to takes its name due its location in the beautiful rolling countryside of the Western Algarve.The new owners decided to give the golf course a new name . The course is extremely hilly therefore a buggy is recommended. It is not too long and you will find good greens which are very generous. The start of the course is with a good Par 4. Parque da Floresta would suit players of all handicaps and is a fairly friendly course for ladies enabling them to enjoy a shorter distance with 659m between the red and yellow tees. A nice golf course where the varying holes run along valleys, past eucalyptus, covered ravines and set amongst olive, palm and pine trees. You will find amazing views said to be one of Europe’s most picturesque.

Santo Antonio Golf, or Parque da Floresta, is like a giant playground for golfers, with courses like a roller coaster through the mountains. The fairways are mostly sloped, and you have to think carefully about where to place your ball. However, if you play calmly and thoughtfully, you can definitely bring a low round to the clubhouse. The condition of the course is rather below average for the Algarve, but certainly playable. The range is also just good for warming up...
The entire course, including the nice little clubhouse with its terrace and fantastic views, is showing its age and desperately needs new investment. Nevertheless, I love the course and will definitely come back.

We arrived 1 hour before our tee time so we can use the practice facilities but they refused to allocate us our pre booked buggies until 20mins before our tee time. The practice area isn't within walking distance so we where unable to practise before our round.
Very disappointing.

After visiting the Algarve on golf trips for more than 20 years, this was our first visit to Santo Antonio and we were all pleasantly surprised. The course was very interesting and provided awesome views of the surrounding countryside. We were glad to have rented buggies as there were some climbs. The back 9 provided a great choice of holes. Definitely worth a visit.
