 Situated
on the northern coast of the country, Miramar is one of the oldest Portuguese
golf courses and one of the most traditional in the country.When the course was inaugurated in 1932, Frank Gordon and Arthur Mariani were jointly responsible for the design, a nine hole course for Par 34 over 2.579 meters. Along its fairways the golfer will discover wonderful panoramic views over the Atlantic Ocean and its beaches, for some of its tees are placed atop sand dunes. Pay special attention to hole number 2, a 204 meter Par 3 with a split-level green. Look out too for hole number 9, an extremely difficult Par 4 which has an out-of-bounds area running along the right hand side of the fairway, as well as a difficult forest to the left. To make this hole even more challenging, the green is very well protected by two bunkers.
