Salgados Golf Course
This wonderful golf course has been sympathetically built into a protected wildlife area, where many rare bird species make their home. Salgados has a tremendous variety of holes, ensuring that it is an intriguing test for golfers of all abilities.
The layout has, in fact, a distinct links feel to it, but it features an intricate network of lakes and streams. Along with the 13th, the signature hole is arguably the first, where there is no easy opening - golfers must thread the ball onto a fairway bordered on both sides by threatening water features.
Signature hole: Hole 1, par 4
The signature hole is arguably the first, where there is no easy opening - golfers must thread the ball onto a fairway bordered on both sides by threatening water features. In addition to this, the beautiful par 5 6th hole is said to be on of the hardest holes in the game of golf with plenty of water lining the fairways and when the wind is blowing it can play very long.

The course was in immaculate condition, the greens were superb. The water plus the wind due to the course being near the coast provided a tough test but it was really enjoyable to play.

An absolute delight. Fun, challenging golf course, flat, a pleasure to walk, superb greens. While there appears to be a lot of water it did not come into play too often for us, other than the island hole. Service, drinks and food were top drawer, the clubhouse too. Would recommend.

We have played here many time and just love the course. It is a course that once you know it you can enjoy it.
The condition of the greens were amazing and apart from a few bid of damage from flooding the rest was great.
