The stk 1 is a par 5 of 548 metres parallel to the beach, requiring some good shots to be on the green in regulation.

Espiche Golf Course
Espiche Golf Course opened in 2012, twenty years after it has been dreamed of. This 18-hole par 72 course designed by Peter Sauerman is not exceptionally long, but it is somehow tricky, with a few blind holes and a longer shot can make your ball disappear into the dense native colourful vegetation that borders a good part of the fairways. Lakes, streams and bunkers are present, to challenge the most off-guard players and to protect the greens.
The hole 10, a Par 5, can be considered the signature hole, as it becomes narrower as you get close to the green. The modern and outstanding Clubhouse, considered in 2015 the most beautiful in Europe, provides panoramic views across the entire course that is inserted in an ecological preservation area, being itself an eco-friendly building.
Santo Antonio Golf
The Santo Antonio golf Course was designed by Pepe Gancedo, a Spanish architect and open in 1987. Situated near the fishing village of Salema, near Sagres. An undulating course with some sloping fairways, particularly on the front nine. Small well bunkered greens, many protected by lakes on the back nine, requiring a good degree of accuracy. The course is perfectly integrated into the landscape and provides some great views of the surrounding mountains and the sea.
Some memorable holes will delight players of any skill. On the front nine the par 5, 9th ranks among the toughest stroke-index 1 holes ever designed. At 490 meters, the third shot is steeply up hill and over a ravine.
On the second nine of Golf Santo Antonio, the highlight is hole 11 a green protected by small pond and is immediately followed by a par 5 that leads up the “Valley of the Wells” to another well protected green.
The 18th hole, par 4 is indeed a fabulous hole, with an elevated amphitheatre green, finishing right beneath the Clubhouse.
