First visit
We have now played almost all the Pestana courses (just Alto left), so far this was by far the best, the course is both tight in places and quite long. The greens are small, but will accept a ball stopping. Some teeboxes were however in poor shape. The locker rooms were old and musty smelling, and as seems a common theme with Pestana staff, most were quite surly.
When travelling from Faro to / from the Western Algarve, a good course to choose as either the first or last round of any tour, being only 30 mins max from Faro airport, our flight landed at 11:00 AM, by 12:15, we were stood on the 1st tee waiting to go.
