Parque da Floresta Golf Course
Course Information and Presentation
Parque da Floresta, situated within a private residential development in the fringes of western Algarve, presents a spectacular view of countryside’s natural scenery. With the sea just looming over the horizon, as well as lakes and creeks providing a visual treat, the scenery of the course is simply stunning. Parque da Floresta stretches behind the fishing village of Salema, and its holes run through ravines and valleys varying widely in difficulty and appearance.
Parque da Floresta features hilly and uneven ground that offers a challenging golfing experience. The chief architect’s concept is to preserve the contours of the land, thus, much of the course’s design retains the area’s natural terrain. Blind spots, steep fairways, and elevated greens characterize the course design, creating an intriguing and memorable experience, especially to those playing on the course for the first time. The diversity of obstacles also includes bunkers, rivers and lakes, and palm, pine and olive trees around the fairways.
Because of Parque da Floresta’s design, golfing can prove to be a daunting experience, especially for novice golfers. The challenge it presents however, makes golfers tend to go back to the course over and over again in an attempt to master the more difficult holes.
