Alto Golf

Designed along parkland lines, this very popular course located just on the outskirts of Alvor near Portimão, is an 18 hole, Par 72 course spanning across two gently sloping valleys. Measuring 6125 meters off the whites, the opening nine holes offer fine views over the bay of Lagos.
For those that like to step up to the 1st with the big guns blazing to inspire confidence and settle into a comfortable start, will not be pleased, as you are greeted with a 162 meter - Par3, which needs to be well placed to say the least.
The back nine, set on rolling slopes, include the remarkable Henry Cotton Challenge, the longest Par 5 in Europe. At 604 meters, it requires three long and accurate shots to avoid the lake, hold the angled fairway and find the small, well protected green. Having said that, it is not impossible to walk off with a birdie, it can be done.
Alto Golf has been providing some challenging golf in the Algarve since 1991, when it was first opened. The clubhouse sits overlooking the 18 th Green and it is possible to decipher the majority of the back nine from the clubhouse outdoor terrace. Inside, the pro-shop will provide for those last minute requirements. Changing rooms are also available for those who wish to take a shower, before sitting down to a highly recommended and value for money "Fish 'n' Chips".
