Presentation
The
Royal Golf Course has rolling fairways set amidst pine trees and beautiful lakes
surrounded by wild flowers. Its features include the almost island green of the
9th and the famous 16th, with cliff-top carryover – one of the most celebrated
golfing images in the world, which has become the veritable symbol of golf in
the Algarve.
My favourite hole is
the 16th on the Royal, which has to be one of the most challenging shots in the
world if the wind is against. (...) Furthermore, I don't know of another resort
in Europe that caters so well for its members, residents and guests.
The Royal Golf Course was designed by top American golf architect Rocky Roquemore, based on original drawings made by Sir Henry Cotton. It was inaugurated in 1997.
