The Vila Sol Golf Course, winding through an
immense pinewood, in which fig trees, oaks and
almond trees also feature, is the work of the
famous English architect Donald Steel. It is a
typical inland golf course of the British school,
posing a test of the golfer's strategic skills.
The Vila Sol Golf Course is surrounded by
beautiful art sculptures and which stretches along
a wide valley, naturally sculpted by Mother Nature
and divided into three loops with three different
levels of difficulty: Prime, Challenge and
Prestige.
The narrow fairways of Vila Sol demand accurate
driving. The player also has to face several
obstacles during the game, lakes and bunkers, as
well as fast grass on the greens. A low overall
score will be the fruit of early successes on the
first four holes, reckoned to be the most
difficult on the entire course.
The best holes: Nr. 6th and 13th.
Vila Sol Golf Course earned high marks in its most
challenging test, hosting the Portuguese Open in
1992 and 1993.
Against this backdrop, full of trees and wildlife
and contemporary sculptures, carefully looked
after and protected by specialist staff, golfers
can discover an environment par excellence which
will envelop them throughout the day at the Vila
Sol Golf Course.
