Golf Course
Quinta do Vale Golf Course Castro Marim, Algarve
Quinta do Vale is a Severiano Ballesteros design located close to the Spanish border.A great challenging golf course with long holes, fairly wide fairways and tricky greens. The course is very hilly so you will need a buggy. Your shot from the tee will need to be perfect or you will have trouble to reach the green. Due to the course being high if it is windy you will find it more difficult. Some holes you need to be very precise or you could finish in the water. Hole 15th a par 5 has a beautiful view to the bridge of Guadiana from the tee. Quinta do Vale would suit players with medium low handicaps and is a very friendly course for ladies enabling them to enjoy a shorter distance with 955m between the red and yellow tees. A great golf course with beautiful views over the Guadiana River. (...)
