Once more no issues with the check-in, buggy or practice facilities. The speed of play was fine and the round was much more enjoyable. The course is challenging in parts but the bunkers are a complete mess due to the heavy rain and should be GUR. The greens were again true but pitted with pitch marks. Signage on some parts of the course could be better. I didn't manage to play with the same ball all the way round this time but that was just due to club selection on a couple of holes, where my ball went to a watery grave. I enjoyed the round.
Spanning the resort’s rich valley land, the O’Connor Jnr Course is the perfect complement to Nick Faldo’s more undulating creation. The great Christy was well aware of the natural Algarve terrain, and deliberately carved his course to take full advantage of indigenous features, particularly the stunning orange groves.
The Amendoeira O’Connor Jnr Course is a part of the famous Amendoeira Resort, found in the heart of the Algarve, the O’Connor can be matched up with other epic local courses to create a golf break to remember.
