The Top Golfing Courses To Be Found Within The Algarve Or Perhaps Anywhere

By Paul Stubbs

At Vila Sol Golf, you will discover an amazing 27-hole golf course created by the very popular architect Donald Steel which stretches around a wide valley. It's sculpted naturally by nature and divided into three rings with three diverse stages of complexity: Challenge, Prime and Prestige. The architect of the course has been very careful to maintain the original topographical character of the spacious undulating landscape. Any form of modifications made were kept to the minimum as necessary to be able to conserve the natural characteristic condition of the land.

The first nine holes are very demanding to the golf enthusiasts. Starting up with a Par 4 of 381 meters then followed by an even lengthy Par 4 hole and only to be succeeded by another Par 4 of 385 meters. If not satisfied with the challenge, there is the sixth and eighth holes, both Par 5s with each a little under 500 meters. The homeward nine seems slightly manageable with two Par 3 holes that are designed beautifully. The golfer should beware of the Par 5 on the fourteenth because it is especially hard to reach having a delicate green awaiting the golfer.

Vila Sol has twice played host during the Portuguese Open held in 1992 and 1993. It had been honored by the Green Globe Organisation in 1996 with the Green Flag Award as a certification which meets their environmental requirements. In 2001, it won the prize as the Best Golf Development presented by British MP

Behind the back, it is really full of trees and wildlife which are very carefully cared for and protected by specialist staffs. Golf players can explore a place par excellence which will envelop them each day. From the first tee to the Clubhouse, a large team of professionals are at work and remain available to make this golf haven a unique and very unforgettable experience.

The Clubhouse together with its convenient location is the starting and finishing point for each of the three 9-hole loops: the first heads towards the East, the second to the West and the third to the South. You can also practice your game in the excellent driving range or practice course of around 300 meters alongside the Clubhouse.
