The Aroeira I Golf Course runs through a pin wood sprinkled with wild flowers. The English press named this the “Wentworth of Lisbon”. The course plays to 6.080m, demands great accuracy and placement off the tee in order to maximise opportunities to hit the greens in regulation. The course also provides a variety of game situations. On the first round hole 8 stands out with is Par 3 for 190 metres and a green with a remarkable inclination. On the second round the highlight is hole 11, a par 4, redesigned by Robert Trent Jones. From here the tee-of is a blind shot into a narrow fairway with trees on both sides and followed by a spectacular approach to a green closely protected by water and bunkers.
