Vale da Pinta

The course is well laid out and is an interesting and challenging course to play. Set in a truly Algarve landscape of almond, olive and carob trees the fairways roll through small valleys and hills. Some of the olive trees are reputed to have been in the region of 1,500 years old.

Vale da Pinta is a par 71, 6,728 yard golf course and is perfect for golf connoisseurs. Most of the par 4s and par 5s utilise a dog leg and put major emphasis on accurate driving. Water hazards add to the challenge by coming into play and affecting four holes on the front nine. Two holes that deserve special mention are the par 3 tenth and the par 5 thirteenth. The former has a large bunker defending the green against your shot, the latter, runs along a valley.
