Pinheiros Altos Golf Course

Pinheiros Altos lies on the eastern edge of Quinta do Lago, near Almancil, beside the Ria Formosa Natural Park. Its three nines are named after the trees around them: Pines, Olives and Corks.

Ronald Fream designed the original 18 holes, the Pines and Olives nines. Jorge Santana da Silva added the Corks nine in 2007, giving 27 holes, and any two nines make a par-72 round. All three loops start and finish close to the clubhouse, which makes it easy to vary a golf week. The layout suits confident mid-handicappers. There is a driving range, practice area and golf academy.
