Location:

Situated in Sítio Lavajinho, in the surroundings of the village of Castro Marim, this space extends across a plateau on the southern bank of the Guadiana River, next to the Spanish border. The expansive views over the waterway and the neighboring territory provide visitors with a sense of connection to the cross-border landscape.

The rural surroundings are dominated by patches of umbrella pine and typical Mediterranean vegetation of Eastern Algarve, where the warm tones of the land and the intense green of the native flora create a natural and serene setting.

Natural Identity:

The 27-hole course is organized into three nine-hole courses (Guadiana, Atlântico, and Grouse), each with its own characteristics: gentle undulations, nestled fairways, and greens protected by bunkers demand concentration and strategy. The elevated tees offer unique frames of the river valley.

Along the course, visitors will encounter varied wildlife, such as wild boars, rabbits, and diverse birds; in the early hours of the day, it is even possible to spot the Iberian lynx, a symbol of the rich biodiversity of this region.

On-Course Experience:

The contrasts between wooded areas and clearings allow for appreciation of the region's characteristic light, with plays of shadow that change throughout the day. Each hole presents different challenges, inviting pauses to contemplate the border landscape and the intense green of the fairways.

In the heart of the space stands a contemporary building, designed for socializing and relaxation after the game. Its architecture integrates harmoniously into the environment, utilizing materials and colors inspired by the Mediterranean style.
