Set
in an area of undulating land not far from the popular seaside village
of Carvoeiro, Pinta and Gramacho are the work of a master of course
design, Ronald Fream.
Indeed, as soon as Fream saw the land, he declared it to be "God
given" for golf. Scattered with almond, carob and olive trees
- many, centuries old - and with natural rocky outcrops, he envisaged
the construction of two courses with minimal of environmental disruption.
A challenging course for golfers of all standards. The exciting
features provided by nature and embellished by well-positioned bunkers
and two ornamental lakes.
Green size is well matched to the lenght of the approach shot. This
6.152 metres, par 71 course, will be appreciated by all knowledgeable
golfers.
