Tough but fair course
July 2014
We really enjoyed playing Morgado, I'd probably say it was the toughest of the 3 we played (Alamos and Salgados were the others). If you can drive the ball long here it makes the course a lot easier. Unlike most of the course in the Algarve each hole is set in its own part of land so you don't feel like you are on top of other golfers and a bit like you are the only ones on the course at times. Driving range was really nice and the facilities at the club perfect for a well earned apres golf beer.

Nice choice of courses in the package
Salgados really nice, Morgado was ok but Alamos one of the best courses any one could wish to play. Overall for the money the package was superb and I have recommended you to every one we met on the way. We will definitely book with you again so thanks very much for all your hard work in making our golf holiday a good one. Kind regards,
Martin
We'll be back
The holiday was very good, Salgados and Morgado were the best courses. No complaints about the hotel, excellent food and facilities with friendly staff. Best wishes,
Jim
Enjoyable golf break
Just to let you know that our trip to Portugal went very well. The CS Sao Rafael is a good hotel and they upgraded us to a suite. The hotel appears fairly new and is well appointed. The staff are high calibre and helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable. Sesmarias proved to be a quiet option (probably partly due to the time of year) sufficiently removed from the ultra-commercial Albufeira. This suited us well. Like many places in the region, much new building work is going on. So, whether Sesmarias will grow into a mini-Albufeira remains to be seen.
The three CS golf courses were good and in fine nick too. Salgados is flat but very tight with lots of water, lush fairways and good greens. Morgado proved a bit easier on the front nine which is relatively flat and more open. The back nine goes up into the hills (and wind) with some scenic holes which are a good test. Again, good greens. Alamos was the best in our view. A superb ‘ramble’ around the hill at the back of the clubhouse, with great views and many scenic holes. Good greens awaiting your arrival after some testing tee and fairway shots (or, more realistically, shots from the rough!). Cheers for now,
