Victoria Clube de Golfe
The
Victoria Course is the most recent and
rapidly becoming the most spectacular course to be
opened to the public in the Algarve. The 5th
Course in the Vilamoura Selection, l aid out on virtually
flat terrain covering nearly
90 hectares, it includes a series of constructed mounds specially landscaped
to emulate the outline of inland hills on the horizon - a feature that enriches
the course with a sense of movement and harmony. The series of beautiful lakes
and waterfalls also helps to provide an attractive background whilst playing
the course. Some of the par fours you may find a little short but other,
when having to pass the same stretch of water twice on the same hole, do not
prove so simple!
Victoria is currently the longest 18 holes golf course
in Portugal and although it
is a new course is playability and quality stipulate that it is going to
be a notable course in Europe.
Host of the Golf World Cup in Nov.2005, e ach hole has a minimum of five tees
from which to play making the course a challenge for all levels of golfers.
Before playing it could be advisable to take advantage of the immense putting
green of around 2,500 m2 to "feel the green" in that very important end game. |
