4 Nights, 3 Rounds
Designed by Nick Faldo, the Faldo Course at Amendoeira has quickly become one of the Algarve's must-play rounds. It winds across the resort's naturally undulating ground, so you're rarely hitting the same shot twice. Despite being one of the newer tracks in the region, it's regularly talked about among the standout layouts in Portugal, and it's easy to see why once you're out there.
This is a thinking golfer's course. The best scores come from picking smart lines off the tee, shaping the odd shot and playing to the right side of the fairway to open up your angle into the greens. The fairways roll and tumble, the greens have plenty of subtle movement and the bunkering is placed to catch anything a bit lazy. In other words, it's not just "hit it hard and hope". Faldo's design rewards patience and punishes lazy golf, the kind of layout where local knowledge pays dividends and a well-played par feels as satisfying as a birdie elsewhere.
The Faldo sits right in the heart of Amendoeira Resort, which makes it a handy base for a proper multi-course break. You're also well positioned for a wider Algarve golf holiday, with plenty of top venues within easy reach to build a memorable trip.
With the Portuguese sun overhead and the terrain doing the talking, it's a round that sticks with you, especially if you enjoy golf that rewards good decision-making over brute force.

The best British player of the modern era has a distinct design philosophy, as he seeks to present a challenge to every player; however, he achieves this not simply through extreme length, but by demanding that the golfer exercises some strategy and thought.
In a throwback to Faldo’s illustrious playing days, the golf course requires patience, prudence and guile, and with an extensive selection of tees, every golfer is well catered for. This prestigious development is a landmark on the Algarve and seems set to become a golf holiday star attraction.
Oceanico Faldo Course is ranked as one of the best courses in Portugal

Good course for mid to higher handicap players. Tricky in parts but fairways are generous in places as well. Some very good tee box placements and memorable holes.

We played this round 2nd and perhaps were more accustomed to the strong winds. Despite this being the supposed harder of the 2 courses, we played significantly better. The undulating fairways and elevated tee boxes made for good fun. Overall this was a fantastic, challenging course.
