Castro Marim
Golfe and Country Club occupies an elevated position, with magnificent
views to the north, towards the ridge of hills which separates the Algarve
from the province of the Alentejo. To the east, the mighty Guadiana forms
the border with neighboring Spain, while the shimmering Atlantic may be
seen to the south.
Three nine hole loops – designed by Terry Murray - ‘The Grouse’,
‘The Atlantic’ and ‘The Guadiana’ – , comprise
this attractive Golf & Country Club resort in the eastern Algarve,
providing golfers with the enviable choice of playing either of two,18-hole
combinations.
All three nine’s share the same, basic characteristics, dictated
by the terrain they occupy, epitomizing the often-quoted description:
“following the contours of the land”…
While the holes of the original course wend their way through pine-clad
hillsides, where ball placement is paramount, those of the subsequent
nine ‘The Grouse’ bring with them a greater sense of space,
since the land is somewhat less wooded. Here fairways are more generous
and the greens markedly larger, important contributing factors to a greater
sense of freedom when teeing off.
