    Have played Boavista. Sjort enough course but it's nice. 4 of the best par 3's you will play. Clubhouse and facilities are excellent.

    Played Palmeres and boa vista last year. Palmares is an old style course that is quiet hilly in places but nice. Lots of construction going on there but it only affects 1 hole a par 3 think its the 13th.
    Boa vista is a nice course too but I dont think its as difficult. Again quiet hilly. Try and play Boa vista off the back tees as the forward ones make it a lot easier. Starter will take a bit of convincing but he is fairly ok. Great views over the coastline from the 13th.

    Sawgrass in the US is a better option IMO
    Golf is Spain is always good though

    Played Parque De Floresta last month. Like a lot of courses on the Algarve, it's short and tight - particularly off the forward tees. If you are driving straight, it should be no problem. Wayward driving on the other hand.......

    I enjoyed it. You might consider a buggy as there is a fair amount of schlepping between greens and tees and it's very hilly. Also it's quite a breezy spot which makes things interesting........

    Im headed over at the same time im going the on the 10th for a few days. I didnt book the golf but i know one day we are playing the nick faldo course. Just a quick question, would it be completley out of the question to fill the golf bag up with a few bottles of refreshment?

    anxious,

    I have looked again and now plan to play Boavista(16th,9am), Gramacho(13th, 10am) and the Faldo. Can play the Faldo after midday with a buggy for €68 so I am gonna play it on the 15th (last day of the reduced price) what day are you playing it? maybe join up if you are a single?
