Fee Guide:
€€€€€ Buggy included Overview: Oceanico
Developments' Amendoeira golf resort is located towards the west of the Algarve,
near the town of Silves. It's home to both the Faldo and O'Connor courses. The photo above shows the imposing Amendoeira clubhouse overlooking the Faldo
course.
Reasons to play the Faldo
Course: If you enjoy a really serious challenge, then the Faldo is
the place to play. We think it is possibly the toughest course in the Algarve to
play to your handicap.
Factors to consider at the Faldo
Course: The green fee is expensive, expect to pay upwards of £100 if
booking tee times through one of the discount agents advertising on this
website. The price includes a buggy, and you need it on the Faldo
Degree of difficulty of the Faldo
Course: From the first hole, an uncompromising uphill par-4, Nick
Faldo seeks to test your game. The Faldo course's real challenge is to your
approach play and putting, which needs to be spot-on. The greens are heavily
defended by serious bunkering and banks, and the putting surfaces slope every
which way
Our overall verdict: A
course for low handicappers. We think average club players will find the more forgiving O'Connor course next door more to their
liking. Worth Considering |
