Pinta golf is a well laid out and interesting course. Set in a truly Algarve landscape with almond, olive and carob trees decorating the course that rolls through small valleys and hills. Some of the olive trees are reputed to be in the region of 1,500 years old. Two holes that deserve special mention are the par-3 tenth and the par-5 thirteenth that will certainly be included in your memories of the course. The greens have large bunkers defending the greens against your shot and also the winds through a valley for 541 metres will entice you to think about your shots.
