Golf Courses CENTRO - Montebelo Golfe - Presentation
This mountain course situated
against the majestic backdrop of the Serra da Estrela and the Serra
do Caramulo was the first golf course to be built in the Beiras
region.
The mountainous Montebelo golf
course, dotted here and there with gorse and heather, runs through
clumps of pine and oak-trees over a distance of 6,300 metres. It is
divided into three parts, named according to their main geographical
landmarks: the Caramulo course (the first nine holes), the Estrela
Course (the second nine holes) and Buçaco Course (the third nine
holes).
Doglegs are a constant feature
of this course and the final sequence is truly unforgettable: the
last three holes provide breathtaking views over valleys, streams,
hills, lakes and well protected greens. The most memorable hole,
however, is number 12 (a long par 3, running downhill to the green
with a bunker to the left and a lake behind). The hole is considered
to be “the soul of the course” because of its challenging physical
characteristics and the unique landscape that surrounds it.
