A stream with dams and permanent flowing water crosses holes 4, 5,
6 and 13. The course is bordered to the north by the national road
125 and spreads to the south, where its limits are a municipal road
that leads to the Quinta da
Ria Golf Course. On one of the Driving Ranges, (with its generous dimensions and built
in the south/north direction), when hitting from the northern tees,
one can appreciate the magnificent view of the mountains as well as
the Ocean. Though from any part of the course both the sea and the
Algarve mountains are a delight to anyone's eyes, On the other Driving Range, designed for practice with irons, there
is the Robinson Golf Academy. It comprises of 3 greens and 6 tees
for the teaching of the different types of game with irons, namely
how to get out of a bunker to a green 120 m distant. |
Eighteen
holes skillfully scattered in an area of 6200.000 m2, the Cima Course
shows itself very competitive with doglegs to the right and left,
with greens well protected by sand hazards and lakes, particularly
holes 16, 17 and 18.

Pro's Playing Tips The long par-5 sixth (500 meters) demands a thoughtful second shot. Some 130 meters from the green the stream again bisects the fairway. The 186 meter eighth is the longest par 3 on the course. The green is a tricky shape; you should think carefully about your line in, as well as wind direction, which will play havoc with the shot. Most of the par 4's on this course are relatively long, between 360 and 415 meters. Fifteenth is a 288 meter par 4 and from the tee there are eight bunkers in view, five guarding the fairway, forcing you to play left, No short cuts! So to the sixteenth, a magnificent par 5. The stream crosses the fairway to a lake and you must hit both a good second and a bold third shot for any hope of landing on the green in regulation. While the sixteenth is truly memorable, the finishing hole, from an elevated tee to a slick green with tricky undulations, will entice back time and again. |
