Algarve Golf Holidays - Balaia

This attractive Par-3 course was opened in April 2001 this small and offers the chance to work on our short game regardless of your leve. The course is set within the golf complex of Balaia villae with views out over the ocean. You can choose to play 9 oer 18 holes. It carries the title of "Executive Course" which in its name implies the quality of its layout and subtle challenges. Located at the back of a Holiday Complex it presents from the first tee a charming view of most of the course with the ribbon of blue sea as its background.

The undulations of the fairways and the excellent condition of the greens are also attractions, as well as the convenient location close to the road between Albufeira and Vilamoura. All 9 holes can be seen from the first tee. An old wooden bridge divides two lakes opposite the green at the first hole and is the main feature of the landscape. The length of the holes varies between 67 and 160 metres, requiring special precision when driving off. The third hole is the shortest with a high, sloping green, well protected by a bunker; the next hole is the longest, flanked by oak trees and with two bunkers on the right. After the sixth hole, the course heads back to the imposing clubhouse that dominates the complex: the bar and restaurant lead on to a large terrace that overlooks the course, the complex and the Atlantic in the distance.
