Faldo Golf Course
Designed by Sir Nick Faldo with strategic play in mind, this 6,578-meter, par-72 golf course demands careful positioning to achieve good results. In 2016, the course’s excellence led to it being awarded the title of Best Golf Course in Portugal by the World Golf Awards.

O'Connor Jnr. Golf Course
Designed by Christy O'Connor Jnr., this golf course complements the Faldo Course and makes the most of its location in a fertile valley. The numerous lakes and water hazards scattered throughout the course demand precision and test the skills of all golfers.

“The Amendoeira property is impressive, and the project has the potential to become a real highlight of the Algarve. That’s no easy feat, given the number of golf courses in the region”
Nick Faldo, during a visit to Amendoeira Golf Resort in 2007
Pitch & Putt – Academy Course
The 9-hole Academy course is the only floodlit 9-hole golf course in Portugal. It is located between the Faldo Course and the O'Connor Jnr. course is ideally suited for beginners and those who wish to sharpen up their short game. It has been built to the same high standards as the Faldo Course and O'Connor Jnr. course.
Three teeing options vary the line of play into each hole and maximize every hazard designed into the green complex. The 7th is the feature hole on the course, where two of the teeing options play over water.
The 9-hole Academy course will become a sure favorite with the whole family and a must to play alongside its big brothers. ---
