Vila Sol Golf Course: One Of The Best Tournament And Luxurious Course

At Vila Sol Golf, you will discover an amazing 27-hole course created by the very popular architect Donald Steel which stretches around a diverse valley. It is naturally sculpted by Mother Nature and divided into three rings with three different stages of difficulty: Prime, Challenge and Prestige. The architect of the course has been very careful to keep the original topographical nature of this large undulating landscape. Any changes that originally made were kept to the minimum when necessary in order to conserve the natural environmental state of the terrain.

The very first nine holes are very challenging for the golf enthusiasts. Starting with a Par 4 of 381 meters then succeeded by much even lengthy Par 4 hole and only to be followed by one more Par 4 of 385 meters. Otherwise not contented with the challenge, there is now the sixth and eighth holes, both Par 5s with each just a little under 500 meters. The homeward nine appears slightly manageable with two Par 3 holes which are very attractively designed. The golf player should beware of the Par 5 in the fourteenth as it is particularly hard to reach with a delicate green that awaits the golfer.

Vila Sol has twice played host to the Portuguese Open in 1992 and 1993. It was honored by the Green Globe Organisation in 1996 with the Green Flag Award being a certification which meets their environmental requirements. In 2001, it got the prize for the best Golf Development presented by British MP.

Behind the backdrop, it is filled with trees and wildlife which are carefully looked after and protected by specialists. Golf players can explore an environment par excellence that will envelop them throughout the day. From the first tee to the Clubhouse, a great team of professionals are at work and stay at your disposal that makes this golf haven a unique and very unforgettable experience.

The Clubhouse with its central location is the starting and finishing point for each of the three 9-hole loops: the very first heads to the east, the second towards the West and also the third towards the South. You may also practice your game at the excellent drive range or practice course of around 300 meters alongside the Clubhouse.
