Vale de Milho

Most golfers turn their noses up at nine-hole courses but Vale de Milho Golf Course is a little cracker with individual holes ranging from 80 to 180 yards. Ideal to sharpen up your short game and as a warm-up for that eagerly-awaited visit to one of the Algarve's finest or simply if you've only got an hour or so to spare.

Visually attractive with waterfalls and wonderful views over the sea, most players are surprised that a course just 1060 yards long can be pretty, complete and challenging. You are faced with obstacles from the first tee so you need your wits about you to play this course to par (27).

Vale de Milho has the ambience of a full sized course and is maintained to high standards all year round. With its large contoured greens, tall trees, lakes and bunkers, it will provide a stress test for your short game, whatever standard of golf you play.
