Algarve Golf Course Close to Formosa Park Golf Hotel, Almancil

The 6,175 meter long Royal Golf Course in Vale do Lobo, has championship tees and is a lot more difficult than the Ocean Course.  This is due to its longer holes, interrupted terrain and the amount of water and sand obstacles it has.

Original Course Design by Sir Henry Cotton

The Royal Golf Course was originally designed by Sir Henry Cotton, but trademark features by Rocky Roquemore who re-designed a few areas on the course, are clearly visible. The US architect, now very active in Portugal, has been responsible for the increase in size of the yellow course.
