Cotton used a classic figure-of-eight design that lets golfers pass the clubhouse at the end of each 9-hole sequence. The breeze from the sea can influence play in all directions and can be seen as an excellent strategic approach. This golf course provides golfers with an all-round experience, thanks to the fully-equipped clubhouse, cutting-edge driving range and golf academy.
Golfers have a tendency to underestimate the short par-3s on the second 9 holes. Immediately after the short 12th hole come three very different par-4 holes, before the course’s biggest challenge – the giant 16th hole.
The course’s excellent location, its proximity to the Portimão region’s beautiful beaches, many typical restaurants, hotels and bars, make the Pestana Alto Golf a very popular course.
