With its tree lined fairways following the dramatic Algarvian coast, architect Martin Hawtree’s priority in designing the famed course was to keep the natural pinewood environs as pristine as possible. The jewel of this perfectly kept course is the Par 3 sixth hole, famous throughout the world. Known as the ‚Devil’s Parlour,‘ this championship tee is built over a ravine that requires a 198 metre carrying shot over the cliffs to a deep but narrow green. Adding to the course’s allure, British Formula 1 racing star Nigel Mansell served for several years as the club’s president.The course is not very long, only two holes run to more than 360 metres, yet despite this it presents an interesting challenge for the golfer, regardless of handicap.The Pine Cliffs Golf Course features a pro shop, the Clubhouse restaurant, and a golf academy with driving range and putting and chipping greens. Guests may rent clubs and golf trolleys.
