The magnificent Vila Sol SPA & Golf Resort, which is located
in an estate of some 150 hectares, is characterised by its beautiful
natural surroundings with a vast range of fauna, animal and plant
life. At Vila Sol Golf you will find a fabulous 27-hole golf course
designed by the famous architect Donald Steel, which stretches along
a wide valley, naturally sculpted by Mother Nature and divided into
three loops with three different levels of difficulty: Prime, Challenge
and Prestige.
Vila Sol Golf has twice played host to the Portuguese Open, in
1992 and 1993. It was honoured by the Green Globe organisation in
1996 with the Green Flag award, certification of meeting their environmental
requirements. In 2001 it won the prize for Best Golf Development,
preented by British MP Sir Eric Pickles.
Against this backdrop, full of trees and wildlife, carefully
looked after and protected by specialist staff, golfers can discover
an environment par excellence which will envelop them throughout
the day. From the 1st tee to the Clubhouse, a large team of professionals
are at work, and remain at your disposal to make this paradise a unique,
unforgettable experience.
The Clubhouse, with its central location, is the starting and
finishing point for each of the three 9-hole loops: the first heads
to the East, the second to the West and the third to the South.
You can also practise your game at the excellent driving range
or practise course, of around 300 metres, alongside the Clubhouse.
