Situated in the heart of Vilamoura, it is a parkland style course. One of the oldest in the region, it is now recognised throughout the world of golf, especially due to the exceptional integration of its layout in the landscape, composed mostly of pine trees, and the correct use of the topography of the terrain.

Considered one of the best and most challenging golf courses in Europe. On this field there are 5 or 6 tees per hole, wide undulating fairways, extensive water obstacles and well positioned bunkers. The course hosted the "World Cup Championships" in 2005 and is hosting Portugal Masters since 2007.

It is a course set in a great nature beauty, particularly open, though some holes meander through pine trees and untouched terrain. In the wood area, the fairways are narrow and require more precision in the game, while the rest of the course has an open landscape, enriched by lakes in some of the holes.

The first set of 9 holes meanders through pine trees, while the 9th holes return in the open field and slightly uphill, providing fabulous views. The terrain is covered with pine trees, which frame much of the fairways, some of which stand out right in the middle of the fairways or near the greenery, a true test of player skill.
