Parque da Floresta is situated amidst the beautiful rolling countryside of the unspoiled Western Algarve, designed by the famous Spanish architect Pepe Gancedo, whose masterpiece is the well-known Torrequebrada project, in Spain. Here at Parque da Floresta he has given continuity to his concept of course design, which is not to use much earthmoving, even when natural conditions are adverse.
Parque da Floresta has been carved out of the hills, creating a real roller coaster of a course that takes you across chasms, lakes and creeks. Meandering through the undulating terrain this tricky golf course offers real variety, with no two holes remotely alike, you will be rewarded with fantastic views of the surrounding Algarve countryside and the Atlantic Ocean beyond.
With a total length of 5,887 meters and a par of 72, Parque da Floresta has in the par-5 number 9 one of his best holes, requiring an extremely accurate third stroke towards an elevated green. On the second back nine the l59-metre par-3, l5th at this course is regarded as a classic hole.
