The Faldo Golf Course overview
The Faldo Course at Amendoeira Golf Resort in Portugal is a masterfully designed 18-hole, par-72 championship course that blends classic golf architecture with a contemporary twist. Spanning 7,258 yards, this stunning Algarve golf course challenges players of all skill levels with strategic layouts and natural terrain.
Unlike traditional parkland courses, the Faldo Course embraces its unique Mediterranean setting, featuring desert-style bunkers, wild herbs, cacti and olive trees in place of heather and dense woodland. Every hole demands precision, as off-line shots can lead to difficult lies and cleverly placed hazards.
Designed by six-time Major winner Sir Nick Faldo, this course is a standout destination for those seeking a top-rated golf holiday in Portugal. With breathtaking views and a layout that rewards thoughtful play, the Faldo Course offers an unforgettable round of golf in one of Europe’s premier golf regions.
Signature Holes
Nick Faldo masterfully put this course together with the idea of creating one of the best courses in Portugal and while every hole can be considered a signature hole, the par-4 12th hole gets the vote for the best hole on the course.
Golfers are met with a magnificent tee shot over a wooded valley to a ridged fairway above. The fairway then doglegs right with the green perched right next to a magnificent oak tree which guards the right-hand edge.

In 2016, The Faldo Course won the title of Portugal’s Best Golf Course, given by World Golf Awards.

"Excellent golf course, one of my favourites on the Algarve. Quite long and tricky for high handicappers but condition is perfect and buggies included is a bonus!"
