The plans included the full substitution of the outdated irrigation system was not able to keep the course in good condition in the dry months. With this, it was possible to reduce water consumption by around 30%, for the same playing area. This saving in water consumption is also possible due to the new varieties of grass selected, which are more tolerant of water shortages.
Vilamoura Laguna Golf Course is located on relatively flat and open land, with many water obstacles. It is considerably different from the other courses and is therefore considered a fundamental piece that completes the diversified offer of golf courses in Vilamoura. Many of its holes give the course a links layout that offers different and varied options and solutions for playing, a typical feature of the design of its author, the American architect Joseph Lee.
At its reopening players can expect a golf course in which it will be possible to clearly identify all areas to play, along with the contrast given by the different tones of grass and cutting heights.
