Pestana Gramacho Golf Course

Gramacho is one of two courses at the Pestana Golf Resort just inland from Carvoeiro, in the municipality of Lagoa. It is open parkland on undulating ground, with old stone walls on several holes and views towards the surrounding hills.

The 18-hole, par-72 layout was designed by Ronald Fream with the former world number one Nick Price. Its greens are often oddly shaped, quick and sloping, so the short game matters more than length off the tee. It suits mid-handicap holiday golfers and makes an easy pairing with neighbouring Vale da Pinta. The resort's Pestana Golf Academy and practice facilities are close by.
