The O'Conner Jnr Course overview

A standout among Algarve golf courses, the O'Connor Jnr Course at Amendoeira Golf Resort is a newer addition to the region - but one that plays like a timeless classic. Designed by renowned golfer Christy O’Connor Jnr, this 6,900-yard, par-72 course offers a truly memorable golfing experience nestled in a lush valley surrounded by orange groves, streams, and water hazards.

The course is known for its stunning scenery and technical demands, featuring an iconic ‘Amen Corner’ that tests even the most skilled players. With water coming into play on several holes, precision and strategy are essential from tee to green.

Despite its youth, the O'Connor Jnr Course has quickly earned a reputation as one of the top golf courses in the Algarve, offering a perfect complement to the neighboring Faldo Course. Both layouts are located at the Amendoeira Golf Resort, where you can enjoy luxury accommodation just steps from two of the finest courses on the Iberian Peninsula.

With year-round pristine conditions and a layout that appeals to both casual golfers and seasoned pros, the O'Connor Jnr Course is a must-play destination for any Algarve golf holiday.

Signature Holes

The 3rd hole on The O'Connor Jnr Course is the signature hole which recognised by a Moorish relic situated on a small island facing the lake. This 178-yard, par-3 plays over a large waterway which intrudes the fairway from the right, with an undulating green guarded by a wide front bunker and two bunkers behind the green.
