Designed by Jack Nicklaus, this world-class championship course is set in the serene hills of the Eastern Algarve, offering breathtaking views and an exclusive playing experience. The course is meticulously maintained, featuring wide, undulating fairways, strategically placed bunkers, and large, multi-tiered greens.
