Quinta De Cima: The Challenging Course In Algarve Courses

Created by William Roquemore Jr. , Quinta de Cima is really a spectacular-18 hole golf course situated inside Ria Formosa. There are both the beautiful sceneries of the sea and mountains everywhere across the course. Many of the holes are dog-legs. Greens are protected by bunkers and lakes especially the final three finishing holes. A stream crosses holes 4, 5, 6 and 13.For sure, there will be no real-estate construction in Quinta de Cima course.

This sister-course of Quinta de Ria is of a Championship character that will offer a pleasurable obstacle for most players. From the rolling land planted with almond trees, it provides open fairways, well-arranged bunkers and abundant supply of water to draw in the odd misdirected golf ball. The first two holes indicate the true nature of the course emphasizing the need for good club selection coupled with accuracy. Golfers are generating their comments concerning the tricky Par 5 sixteenth hole and the significant eighteenth.

A stream with dams and permanent flowing water crosses holes 4, 5, 6 and 13. The course is bordered to the North by the National Road 125 and spreads to the south where its boundaries were a municipal road that leads to the Quinta de Ria Golf Course.

The greens have been seeded with Bent Crenshaw. Tees and fairways are covered with Zoysia. On one of the Driving Ranges, with its generous dimensions and built-in the South/North direction, when hitting from the northern tees, it's possible to appreciate the breathtaking view of the mountains as well as the Ocean. Though from any part of the course both the sea and the Algarve mountains are a delight to anyone's eyes.

On the other drive range designed for practice with irons, there is the Robinson Golf Academy. It includes 3 greens and 6 tees for the teaching of the different types of game with irons, such as how to get away from a bunker to a green 120 m distant.
