Situated near Silves, Amendoeira Golf Resort is home to two championship courses, the Faldo Course and the O’Connor Jnr Course, both of which provide distinct challenges in a picturesque setting.
⦁ The Faldo Course, designed by Sir Nick Faldo, is a par-72 course stretching 7,215 yards. It requires strategic play, featuring rocky outcrops, desert-style landscaping and elevated greens. Faldo’s philosophy of “thinking your way around the course” is evident, as each hole demands precise execution.
⦁ The O’Connor Jnr Course, designed by Christy O’Connor Jnr, offers a contrasting experience. Also a par-72 course, it is slightly shorter at 6,718 yards. The course features wide, forgiving fairways, lakes and gently undulating terrain, making it more accessible for players of all skill levels while still posing a challenge with its water hazards.
