About the Golf Course

The Praia Alvor route is pure Algarve artistry, blending oceanfront splendor with the natural rhythm of the hills. The Praia nine starts with dramatic links holes that trace the coastline, where the sea breeze can challenge even seasoned players. The Alvor section brings a more relaxed yet strategic parkland finish, surrounded by Mediterranean vegetation and mountain panoramas. This combination captures everything that makes Palmares unforgettable — seaside inspiration, inland serenity, and championship-level design from start to finish.

PRAIA (HOLES 19-27)

The third nine at Palmares presents the golf experience every great designer dreams of having the privilege to create: a seaside landscape with dunes exposed to the elements. The four seaside holes are between the beach and the railway line. The course opens by descending from a parkland setting with the dunes character continuing through the remainder of the Praia Golf Course with the closing hole, a strong uphill par-5, rising up out of the dunes through a deep valley to an amphitheatre just below the clubhouse.

ALVOR (HOLES 1-9)

Located primarily on the northern part of the site, the Alvor Course has a parkland character with mature trees and lovely views of the Monchique hills. Changes in elevation are integral to the design of this nine as a majority of the golf holes ascend hillsides or descend through intimate valleys. The parkland setting disappears briefly with a series of holes with more expansive views. A preview of the dunes and links holes to come is provided in the sixth and seventh holes. As the round concludes, the course again assumes the parkland character.
