Salgados Golf Course

A beautiful location with a modern clubhouse. The course is flat with lots of pine trees and water on most holes. The fairways and greens were immaculate. Our tee time was delayed due to overbooking and the pace of play once we did get underway was glacial. We ended up abandoning our round after 9 holes (nearly 3 hours) once it became clear we would not be able to finish before it got dark. My request for a refund fell on deaf ears.

The toughest of the 3 courses we played on our trip, make sure you have plenty of balls as there's lots of water. The start of the round was a little bit slow as the course seemed to be very busy but this seemed sort itself out after about 6 or 7 holes. The greens were in great condition, any missed puts were due to the player not the course. We would all definitely play this course again.

Tee boxes very scruffy but enjoyed thw course.

Organised chaos. Over booked, delay teeing off with golf buggies not ready (back from course) Staff helpful but very under pressure. Waiting every hole.

Lots of water but still plenty of room. Loved this place

very good day course a bit scruffy in areas but didnt affect the golf very much

This course is absolutely unbelievable, extremely challenging for the average golfer fairways are really tight and plenty of water and sand come into play if you are not straight off the ball. the greens are super fast, the clubhouse is really nice with a huge selection of clothing and golf accessories. I am only an average golfer but the experience to play on this course was unbelievable

Favourite course of the trip - only thing that let it down was the food facilities/choice afterwards

Best course out of the 3.

This course is a good course but quite hard as water in play on nearly every hole in a four ball of a mixed handicap rating we managed to lose 18 balls in the round between us but still enjoyed the experience

Love this course always go back every year

Really nice course, played twice 1st day in strong winds which made it tough.

Was a great way to start the trip. There was no complaints from our group just the challenge of the course which was expected.

Higher handicaps loss lots of balls. Very slow round.

Tough course in the wind. No fairway yardage discs. But still had a good time.

As the other 2 except u need a certificate in lifesaving lots of water but a great experience

Great course. Great staff. Smooth and easy to get signed in and hire clubs/buggies etc. Highly recommended.

Brilliant

Course was a bit wet so no buggies permitted, and wild and windy conditions made it very difficult. There were also a lot of ground staff doing work around the 10th/11th holes that didn’t seem to have any awareness of players around them. Despite this, the course was in pretty good condition considering the wild weather. A bit slow at points with groups in front but all in all a good day. Would definitely play again in hopefully better weather!

Couse closed to carts so had to use trolleys instead. One of our party had a bad leg and required an e-trolley. This cost an extra 20 Euros, which had to be paid at hotel reception. There were not enough e-trolleys to go round. Bit of a shambles getting clubs and trolleys. Flat course so doesn't need a buggy.

In our mind that course should be been closed that day as it was very very buggy you’re walking around you might as well have wellies on because your golf shoes are just getting trashed with the amount of work they were doing and still doing on the course, especially on the second hole They had to stop work and hide behind buggies whilst we were playing on the course and left equipment in the fairway and once again we weren’t allowed buggies so that wasn’t an issue. We walked it with the trolleys but still it was hard work going through puddles specially when you’re driving and it hits the ground and there’s just bugs straight down.

Shouldn’t of been open was a mess water lying everywhere, drainage work has been done but it’s not great

Similar experience to the Alomos & Morgado course’s. Would play again.

Had to play the front nine twice. Bit congested at the start but levelled out. Due to maintenance , course not in great condition. Greens decent. Staff very friendly.

Fantastic set up. Superb clubhouse spotlessly clean very nice staff. Course layout is excellent and very challenging with lots of water. Greens were decent but definitely showed signs of such heavy traffic as do the fairways which to be honest weren't great but probably quite indicative of Spain and Portugal. Overall excellent value for money as we paid for an additional game on our off day which we got a great discount as staying within the Nau hotel group Would definitely return

Excellent golf course and service

We loved Salgados. Every hole was an adventure. We started at the 10th so our front 9 was probably more open and the back 9 a bit tighter. Some very memorable holes. The water on every hole was great and challenging but it was still playable for all and very enjoyable. Clubhouse was really nice. Practice and warm up facilities were great too - short game area and putting green. Will definitely be back. Would highly recommend- Loved it

Great views and scenery. The staff were really good too.

Was very wet

The greens were excellent as were the tees. The course is great for people that don't like hills, but not so great for people who don't like water! There are lakes everywhere, so you may need to pack a few extra balls. Many holes did not leave much margin for error. You had to really plan your way around. Even a dead straight drive off the tee could run out of fairway on the bend and you'll finish in a lake. So accurate hitting and good course management/club selection is vital. It had some good practice facilities at the front of the clubhouse from what I saw (no time to use them sadly). The clubhouse itself is very nice. There are plenty of buggies and pull trolleys to hire. Sadly I am reviewing based on the first 12 holes as we were forced off the course due to a massive thunderstorm when we played (as was everybody else that day, nobody we spoke to finished their round) but from what I saw, it is a lovely course and I would recommend it. I've given 4 stars for value for money as we had a package deal (so no round fee breakdown), but from my research it seems it is quite an expensive course to play.

Turned up for a 12-48 tee off 8 players booked 6 months ago and no tee time available! The day before was washed out so they let loads of people on with vouchers A very stressful time for me the organiser We were squeezed in at 1-15 Even then asked to split into 2x4 balls teeing off at the first and 10th at the same time Awful customer service

Tough course with lots of water but very nice scenery and holes. Would highly recommend playing this course was a good challenge.

This was most peoples favourite course. The gents played off the blue tees which meant we could clear the water and not lose too many balls. The course was very busy but everyone kept moving and the Caddie master did a good job fitting everyone in.

water hazards all over, greens difficult to read

Course in ok condition but absolutely rammed. Play extremely slow. When checking in at the desk we were told that buggies were not included, having challenged this statement and showing proof of itinerary booking buggies were then made available. However, we were late teeing off as we had to wait for buggies to be made available by other visitors upon completion of their rounds.

Fantastic course, great layout. Would play again.

Great course. Slow and overbooked.

Nice little course for short straight hitters plenty of water to occupy your mind

always a joy to play with all the water as a main hazard. But getting a bit tired and in need of a lot of work

One of our favourites always plays hard so much water but very enjoyable

Good course, would play again for sure. I would say it was a little packed putting people off 10th and 1st. Made it gridlocked at one point.

Great Golf Course and Fantastic Facilities.

Very challenging course with some beautiful views. The fairways and greens have been kept in beautiful condition and everything about the Salgados Golf Club is amazing. The driving range net, chipping practice facilities and putting green are awesome add ons.

Very nice course with lots of interesting holes. Facilities were very good.

Great track, expect to lose balls on the water. We had great fun here. Very tight so you have to plot your way around so being a big hitter doesn’t always help here. Beautiful setting and a great modern clubhouse. No driving but they have a net with 4 bays. Right next to our hotel Vidmar Resort so we walked there. They didn’t have our tee time booking which I was told was reserved. So they had to squeeze us out 30 mins earlier which was a bit of a rush. Luckily we were only a 4 ball and not a larger group. Amazing course again and would definitely come back.

Good course, only hiccup was the hotel book a different course that the booking? It was resolved by the course staff and we managed to get slotted in, it was the slowest game I have ever played. I think it is an observation from all courses as they pack the tee times in every few minutes which holds up play.

Fun. Lots of water. Started 18 holes at 4 and finished by 7.30 with a buggy.

Really fun course but challenging too, will definitely be back (bring extra balls)

Excellent. Did not charge for pull trolleys.

17 holes with water speaks for itself on difficulty. Handicap certificates should be required before play, to many non golfers being allowed on.

Excellent

Lovely clubhouse, great bar facilities, pro shop was a bit sparse when it came to buying balls/perhaps getting a souvenir polo shirt from the course etc. Course was in good Nick however greens a bit bobbly and plenty of un-repaired pitch marks. Course was a good challenge with plenty of water and trees to make it something worth playing. Overall a really good course with some minor setbacks. Oh, finally, plenty slow players, no real tracking of time spent on course by some groups, our 2 ball took well over 4 hours because of group in-front who did not offer us to play through until the 16th, slight dampener on one of our rounds.

The course is vastly over subscribe too. They were way too many people playing, and it was The course is vastly oversubscribe to there were way, too many people playing, and it was way too slow.

Course was OK but massively overbooked, tee times were a bit of a free for all.. I felt sorry for the starter as he didn't really know what to do, at one point there were about 8 tees trying to get out at the same time, both on the 1st and 10th I found the bar and shop staff to be quite rude, this may be because they were extremely busy to be fair but even still, the way some of the golfers were being treated and spoken to in the bar was poor.

Can't fault this tricky course

We have played Salgados previously on 2 other occasions and it does not get any easier - tough challenging course but excellent at same time.

Everything was ideal however the let us down on our Friday round by not having buggies reserved for our group although we had paid for them. They offered electric buggies as an apology but didn’t have enough for our group. Was a slight dampener on the end of our trip.

Quaintly test of golf and you need your straight “A” with you as a lot of water. Would return as best course around this area for greens and definition .

Water water everywhere🥴

WAter features on about 13 of the holes. Very unusual course crammed into a very tight space never the less very enjoyable

Excellent

Great course, very challenging with lots of water. Condition of greens and fairways was excellent. Great experience, will definitely play again

This course needs to be plotted around a little bit as there is a lot of water in play . This course was extremely busy and felt jammed to capacity as we were told we had 2 hours to complete the first 9 holes , if we didn't achieve this time scale we may have had to return later to complete our round . This was a little annoying as the course was as I said totally jammed . We thankfully had buggies on this round which helped to keeps us up with groups in front and we had some good banter with the groups who also stayed at Palm village when waiting near tee boxes . We did make the deadline by 5 minutes and carried on with our round with only a minor issue with a group behind almost hitting our 4 ball a few times trying to push through us when we had nowhere to go. It was all sorted out in the end but wasn't a nice experience. We saw the refreshment buggy alot on this course and it was a welcome sight everytime. We had a 9.32 tee time and the fairways were wet and soft so not much run until later in the round . The bunkers could of done with a little more sand in places and a couple were flooded , the greens were gorgeous quality and nicely paced . Really like this course and it's proximity to the resort suited us for the ease of our second round giving us time to relax by the pool in the afternoon. Would play again for sure but hopefully it isn't under those time pressures on the next visit .

A bit disappointing in that it was quite flat with a lot of water and palm trees strategically placed to add interest. A bit ordinary after playing Vale Do Lobo.

Overall the course was good and nice layout with plenty of holes that were challenging. There are only nets for a practice area and you are all hitting into the same big net so its not ideal. They have chipping greens and putting only which are really nice. Tees on the course were in poor condition. Greens were fast and rolled really well. Fairways were in good condition although water logged to the point of having to move your ball in some areas on the fairway. Staff food truck drivers very noisy and continue to drive past despite people trying to play. They don't have the courtesy to stop and the truck was super noisy.

Lots of water, take plenty of balls. Enjoyable round

All good and a nice course to have finals day on. A BIG plus was that they respected the quoted buggy costs from October 2022, unlike the other two courses.

Perfect weather and enjoyable golf.

Very good condition. The greens are fun. Most holes are forgiving and a good chance to get the driver out. Large greens but very undulated recommend buggy’s.

Fantastic course can get punished if you get the club choice wrong lots of water but adds to the challenge greens in perfect condition with plenty of breaks and contours with a fast pace

Great course to start the weekend off loved it

Lovely course and clubhouse, some greens had infections so were a bit ropey at the time.

Would be happy to play this course again, every hole had a different challenge.

Nice test of golf with some fiddly holes and plenty of water, wind plays a big factor here too. Greens and course overall we’re in good condition considering how busy it was.

Lots of water and challenging for the higher handicap players.

The course was enjoyable and the pace of play very quick for golf in Portugal.

The course was enjoyable and the pace of play very quick for golf in Portugal.

We had the same problem regarding payment for buggies despite my getting the hotel to confirm with the course the day before ...disappointing and embarrassing again !!

Good greens fairways need watering

A lot of water, very busy 1st 9 holes. Fairways and greens excellent. Good clubhouse.

We found the fairways fairly unforgiving as much ran away into water. Greens really good and ran true.

Water on very hole but 1 but quite generous areas to play to. We were due off at 1114 but running late and I think they also squeezed another 4ball in ahead of us and it was a very slow round.

A little slow but I have been before and it’s been fine

Unfortunately, we found this course dangerous as there were a lot of narrow fairways, and in fact one of our party was hit by a golfball.

We are not the fastest players however is was busy and other people on the course were not very patient.

Water, water everywhere. Be prepared with spare balls. Flat Course but doesn’t make it easy. Most holes having water, along side ,across, in front of greens and some bunkers. All in great condition. They run a tight ship here. On tee one we’re told our 10th tee is in two hours. We made it as a four ball, but felt rushed. Golf is a leisure activity. Pressure was off for the second half 😅

Great wee layout. Water nearly every hole. Thinkers course and greens very good and quick.

Loads of water and totally different to the Alamos and Morgado. Great to do all 3. We played with another 2 ball who were such fun and really made the round extra special

Lovely golf caurse. The practice facilities were first class. Playing on this caurse was really special.

Two ball should not play behind 3 four balls in front or should be let through to busy

Warned at start we had to be at tenth in 2 hours we did say to the young lady we can only go as fast as the the golfers in front which was a two ball, however we had to wait for every shot.

Fast greens and plenty of water. Some tricky holes but very enjoyable.

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience but bring plenty golf balls as there are many water hazards.

Water everywhere! Not much else in the way of challenges, literally just so much water! But still very enjoyable to play and in good condition for this time of year.

This was a tough golf course but my group enjoyed the challenge

Lots of water difficult if not hitting straight

Great course clubhouse good greens fantastic

Great layout but put too many people on the course and despite the fact there was water everywhere, need to stagger the T times more. Dangerous playing off the 10th so close to the first with people standing around.

Same as above review

Same as above review

Lovely course, helpful staff, great facilities. Lots of water!

course tough water everywhere , tees a bit rough not happy when course charged us for the buggies when our booking stated buggies inclusive of price ????

We love this course. Utterly beautiful surroundings, with some tricky holes.

Nice course with a lot of water but enjoyed the 2 rounds we played.

Best of the three in my opinion, bit mor like the courses in vilamorer although some of the group preferred morgardo. Lots of water, some tight fairways and nicer manicured than the other two, had to think a bit more. All in all nice Course

Helpful caddie master. The round took just over 4 hours. Course rating is for 30+mph winds and water all over the place. On a still day would be easy! Least number of balls lost =2, most =6.

the golf was fine as they have had a drought they were fine!

Again all good everything was great

Excellent and challenging course

Lovely course

Nice course however due to amount of non golfers playing rounds can be slow Tee off 8am to avoid this

A very flat course where the danger lies in the abundance of water! It was very busy and we were asked to split into a 3 ball and 2 ball with a random couple joining the 2 ball party. Not what we wanted as this was a joint birthday weekend where we were looking to share precious time together. It should be reinforced to book buggies well in advance too. There were none available to book once in country. Lack of a driving range (4 Lane high nets) was a bit of a miss but the pitching and putting practice areas were good. The 19th was a pleasant environment. All that said, an enjoyable course that was in very good condition and the very warm weather added to the joy of golfing in Portugal in October.

Good course great value for money but very slow round due to them putting so many golfers off two sets of tees to make as much money as possible.

Very slow ,also tee times running late .the course was brilliant tho

Tees seemed to have been over booked as we had a delayed start and lots of players waiting to tee off from 1st and 10th tees. Shame because course was excellent and very challenging.

Great course, short but all the water kept you on your toes.

Really nice course if your not afraid of hitting over water!!

lovely course would play here again

Excellent again, more difficult than expected with lots of water but very enjoyable.

A well maintained pretty course with lots of water. Need a straight drive. We had a couple of rain showers & it was cold which spoilt the experience otherwise really enjoyed the round.

Water on 17 of the holes so accuracy is a premium. Course in great condition.

I love this course. Can’t get out of trouble here by hitting a long drive. Water everywhere. Greens here weren’t as good as last year due to disease but still true and quick

Always in enjoy this course

dirty

Great course but I never want to see water again!

Very interesting and pleasant course

Enjoyed the course

This course is attached to the hotel complex but is still a good walk with clubs so make sure you take your bag strap as there is no transport from the complex. It seemed to us they were cramming as many on the course as they possibly could. It was absolutely rammed which made getting any rythmn going impossible. Everyone was waiting for everyone and because there is so much water people were taking 2 off the tee if they put the first one in ( and a lot were doing this especially our group ! ) The Fairways were better than the Morgado and Alamos but they had the same problems with the greens. The upside was it only took us 10 mins to get back to the hotel complex instead of the 90 mins wait at the other 2😁

The best of the three we played

Superb course on a flat piece of land so easy to walk. Very tight holes but with some course management it’s ok for a high handicap golfer. Every hole had water in play or OOB..😂😂 The group behind lost 30 balls between them in 6 holes and walked off after 9 holes but they were laughing about it.. Again if you played sensibly and didn’t hit driver consistently it was playable.

Really nicely set up course, with absolutely loads of water on virtually every hole. Good challenge and overall welcoming and well set up course, would definitely paly again even though I lost 6 balls!!

Loved this course despite the abundance of water. Again busy but marshalls kept play moving along. Length of some holes challenging for ladies, but overall a most enjoyable round.

Excellent got everything bang on.

This was by far the best golf course we played! Water coming into play on 17 of the 18 holes (lost at least 4 balls) stunning setting and in fantastic condition! If your going to play golf in Portugal I highly recommend you play Salgados!!

Excellent course. Well maintained and very picturesque. Plenty of water so accuracy was the name of the game.

Very demanding from the tee, fairways and water!! No rough just water!! Take plenty of balls!! Great though!!

16 holes with water.we never lost a ball! very enjoyable.made u think a lotlay up or go for it?

Excellent course. Apart from some slow play at times.

Course was good with challenging holes, especially in the wind...note, it was windy for all of our early tee times. Members told me its always windy early morning. I will be playing there again. Our rounds were slow, more due to the fact that we were a 2 and 3 ball....probably.

Lots of water on this course which makes it difficult

Everyone finished this course saying "THe nicest course we have played on". It has some really tough holes but it is beautiful and really well kept. Highly recommended

Long and frustrating

Good course se but far too many golfers let on therefore making a 4 ball round in buggies 5 hours.

Shot 43 points, loved it

Best of the 3 we thought. Lots of water so quite tricky but good fun and and again nice and green and greens in good condition. Same group as alamos (Nau) and so different which is strange to me.

When we played it was very windy. Quite common apparently as it’s near the coast and it has plenty of water hazards. So be prepared to lose some golf balls!

A good challenge , especially off the back tees. plenty of water to be aware of.

Course was in poor condition and the greens were terrible and undergoing major remedial work meaning it was like putting on a beach!! Course was also extremely slow a 5 hour round with far to many people being on course at one time

The course was generally in good condition. Though the greens had been hollow tined and sanded last week, they played fast and true. Lots of water!

Love this course... the only thing I don't love is that we have a fight every time to be able to go round as a pair rather than having to join up with people we don't know to make a foursome. But still keep coming back and will continue to do so.

The course itself was not tough, but the water was really weird.......it ate golf balls!!!!

This was the first time I played the course. The water was the big challenge. However I came second and only put two balls in the water. I think for our party it is too demanding. But I enjoyed the experience. The transfer form Salgados back to the hotel was 25 mins late.

This is a lovely course very picturesque with lots of water, would definitely recommend this course and will be going there again.

Course was very challenging, although still enjoyable. You need to be straight and manage the course or you'll need a lot of golf balls. We flowed well the first day but had a group of two four balls in front who must of thought they were playing the Masters and were really slow (not the courses fault)although perhaps more can be done to encourage groups to keep up with this in front. Overall a great time.

We found the course very difficult especially starting from the tenth tee which gave us the most difficult holes first. The course marshall was very annoying telling us to speed up. We finished in three hours fifty mins which is less than the target time. He upset everyone for no reason

Lovely course probably my favourite, lots of water and very pretty. Was challenging but as long as you were straight could reach most in regulation.

1st time here we would all like to play it again as it is a thinking golfers course not just a blast up fairway lots of water hence nickname water park worst pint of beer here otherwise fabulous.

no complaints wellrun golf course

A lot of water on this course so you have to be very accurate,the course itself is like a nature reserve a fabulous setting and well worth a visit.

Lovely course great and helpful staff would recommend to anyone take some golf balls though as you will lose a few but no complaints at all. well run club house friendly staff in the golf shop who were very polite helpful and not rude and ignorant like at the morgado the previous day thank you salgados golf course a great day was had by us all

The golf course was in good condition. Challenging with lots of water (especially if your balls are like magnets to water like mine!) The staff were very friendly and helpful. The club house was great.

Very enjoyable experience

Lots of water making golf a difficult chalenge

Course in great condition. Greens good. Facilities everything that Morgado was not. Top quality. Visiting golfers beware water! Lots of it on nearly every fairway.

Water on every hole, greens fast.

Very different from the ones we play normally due to many water hazards. Nice course, intersting to play and easy to walk.

Course was great, greens were immaculate, very fast. Lots of water around the course, which makes this course quite difficult. You need to be a straight hitter on a lot of the holes, especially the 6th! Took us around 5.5 hours to get round which was pretty slow, but you can't expect much more when the course is full. Couldn't complain about any of it.

This course is more of a "fun" course than a serious golfer's course. With some very tight holes, water everywhere and a strong wind blowing from the Atlantic it's difficult not to lose golf balls. The course was in good condition though and both of our rounds were enjoyable. Definitely a course to play on a golfing trip!

A lot of water ,have to hit fairways a testing course overall

Fun course. Still suffering a bit from winter. Greens good although loads of unrepaired pitch marks. Water an obstacle but not impossible. Not too long so fair for a wide variety of golfers.

A nice layout with good greens and plenty of grass. Watch out for the big irritable goose on the first tee ! The downsides for this course is that there is a lot of water on this course (not good for high handicappers)and is rather flat.

Cannot really make a proper assessment because of really extreme gale type wind, but course looked in good condition.

Lots of water! but still a good challenge, we played it after heavy rain so lots of casual water and flooded bunkers which slowed things down.

As a two ball, we were stuck between 4 balls, although a lady should have joined us apparently, so this was a little frustrating. Otherwise good course, fairly flat with lots of water.

How much water... Nearly every hole water comes into play, coupled with a very strong wind made it a heck of challenging day's golf. The course layout is very interesting and despite it being flat you don't get bored due to the excellent course design. The course was busy but it was rarely dangerous with stray balls due to the layout.

Really enjoyed this course lots of water and very tight

Water, water everywhere and all got massive magnets to attract my golf balls

Much improved course. A difficult test but an enjoyable challenge. Excellent weather helped.

lots of water and tight in places. Greens were the best all week and the course was the most enjoyable all be it the hardest. No range was a shame but was gorgeous

A much better course than the Morgado and Alamos. This was partly because the grass was not Bermuda and had not browned, but also because the holes were more interesting and more challenging.

The main challenge on this course is the water hazards. The greens were not in great condition, lumpy and uneven in places making putting a bit of a lottery.

Technical course with lots of water!

Very difficult with no real escape for a wayward shot.

Very tight difficult driving on all holes lots of water

This course is the busy of the 3 and due to the volume of players can take 30-45 mins longer to play . This is partly due to the difficulty ,a few holes with water and more rough ,Bermuda grass around the greens ,difficult to chip out of and sometimes difficult to find your balls.Greens are in good condition and a challenge to read .my favourite course out of the 3.

A great test of golf . I’ve rated it as HARD ‼️Mainly because of the amount of water all over the course . If you have a wide ‘slice’ or ‘hook’ you will be in trouble ( usually wet ) . But the Fairways are wide and a score is attainable for any handicap golfer . Again , good Fairways , Greens and bunkers .

Very nice course but difficult.

Lovely course had great viwes and great to have people selling cold drinks on the course and also the other causes the stuard chased the slow players

Enjoyed but very slow too many players

Having been appraised of a potential buggy availability problem (refer Morgado review),this dilemma was resolved through the kind intervention of the Salgados Dunas Suites reception staff. However, on arrival at the course , I noted that other groups were not so lucky and were faced with walking the course on a very warm day. Otherwise the course was enjoyable and met with expectations .

Interesting course not as easy as it looked with some tight holes. There were tricky areas where water would play a part of your game. I would say it was the harder of the three courses.

Wow! If you like courses with water then this is the one for you. It’s everywhere. Flat course so walkable. A little gem but very very busy.

Unfortunately this was a particularly long day as the four ball in front of us were very very new to the game of golf. The ranger did his best to hurry them along as it meant a big backlog of players anxious to start their game.

There is insane amount of water that made it difficult, but loved the course.

Booking groups of 1 and 10 is not good,course awful slow and backed up,just looking to get as many people out and as much money as they can , very disappointed

A very nice course one that all abilities will enjoy

Water, water everywhere , a real test and a pleasure to play. I hope to return.

Staff brilliant

14 holes with water on this course if you can keep out of it you'll score well out of 18 players we managed to cut quite a few handicaps.

Accuracy needed off the tees with there being a lot of water hazards

first class some tight holes but some were you could let loose with the driver

condition of the course was brilliant, credit to the green keepers

My caddy tip: "It is key to make sure the ball is in place." 

Favourite holes: 1 & 3 & 17 position your drives

Favourite holes: 8th as got a hole in one.

Favourite holes: All holes were challenging due to the water around so you need to be straight down the fairways.

First day back to work unfortunately after a fantastic break at Salgados. Firstly the golf course was in great condition considering the amount of rain that had fell the previous week, and was very challenging with water hazards at 17 of the 18 holes, which I found a lot of fun to tackle but some of my playing partners found next to impossible to get the better of.
