Parque da Floresta is an imaginatively designed course set in beautiful countryside just 15 minutes away from Lagos. Surrounded by hills, mountains and the ocean, it has been named as one of Europe’s most picturesque courses. The resort borders the Costa Vicentin Nature Reserve and no two holes are at all similar so you can enjoy diversity with every stroke.
The resort also features a luxury spa which benefits from a fully equipped gym and offers a number of relaxing beauty treatments, a bowling green and children’s clubs, so there is plenty to do after your round of golf. The historic town of Lagos is just 15 minutes away as is the beautiful Portuguese coast.
Pro tips:
- On the first hole, keep the drive to the right to avoid the ravine on the left.
- The 9th hole can be very tricky – a good second shot is vital to avoid the water hazard
