Amendoeira Golf Resort - Faldo Course

Amendoeira Golf Resort is situated on a 270-hectare estate in the heart of the Algarve, combining premier golf with breathtaking natural surroundings. The resort features three exceptional golf courses, including the multiple award-winning Faldo Course, the O'Connor Jnr. Course, and Portugal's only illuminated 9-hole golf course, the Academy Course. Designed by Sir Nick Faldo, the Faldo Course is a 6,578-meter Par 72 championship layout. Its strategic design demands precise course management and thoughtful play. Instead of the traditional English heathland, the course is characterized by cacti, wild herbs, ancient olive trees, holm oaks, and distinctive limestone bunkers, creating a unique visual identity. The result is a challenging golf course that combines classic golf architecture with the unmistakable character of the Algarve. In recognition of its exceptional quality, the Faldo Course was awarded “Best Golf Course in Portugal” at the 2016 World Golf Awards. Beyond the golf facilities, Amendoeira Golf Resort impresses with modern infrastructure and a diverse range of leisure offerings. Whether competitive golfers, holidaymakers, or families, guests can expect a high-quality resort that perfectly blends sport, relaxation, and comfort.
