Gramacho Course
Pestana Golf Resort, Carvoeiro |
|
A layout unique on the European continent with 27 green on 18 holes. |
|
As with the Pinta Course, the preparation and condition is at tournament standard year round. Holes 1 through 4 and 14 through 18 have two greens which may change your game plan depending on which greens are in play. The undulating terrain is liberally dotted with carob, fig, palm, almond and olive trees.
The use of existing features of the land, like outcrops of rock and dry stone walls have been augmented by well positioned bunkers and lakes. These hazards, combined with the shaping of the fairways and greens, have produced a wonderful array of challenging but fair golf holes. From the first tee shot to then pitch to the final green, the player must not only strike the ball and putt well, but also utilize the best strategy, to produce a good score. Experienced golfers will certainly acknowledge that they played a very fine golf course with a testing par of 71 and more than sufficient length at 6107 metres.
While designing and constructing the golf course Pinta and Gramacho, Ron Fream and Nick Price, did the impossible, they combined the hilly picturesque course with the artistic fairways and used the ancient olive trees, some 600 years old, all over the courses. |
