Golf Courses
The Pines
9 holes
2204y
2015m
Par 36
Designed by Ronald Fream
The Pines Course (Pinheiros) is named after the abundance of pine trees which flourish the course this nine includes four of the new holes opened in January 2007 and five of the original front nine. One thousand additional pine trees have been planted to blend the new with old.
The Pines signature hole is the ninth, a beautiful par 3 over a valley to a McKenzie green while the par 5 fourth hole is the epitome of 'risk and reward' golf course design.
The view of the green over the water, within reach for many golfers, is just too much of a temptation to resist and often results in a watery grave for a new Titleist golf ball!

The Corks

Par 36
Designed by Ronald Fream
The Corks Course (Sobreiros) is the longest of the three nine holes at Pinheiros Altos and regarded the most demanding.
Like the Pines Course, the Corks Course is a mixture of the original and new holes with spectacular views of the Ludo valley and the Goldra hills beyond.
The first tee shot when playing the Corks Course is one of the most demanding in the Algarve but the view is unquestionably a form of consolation.
Many regard the eighth hole, a par 5 double dog leg of 580 yards (530m) as the most dangerous on the course and responsible for the destruction of many medal rounds.

The Olives Course was the original back nine and has remained unchanged since the island green eighth hole was constructed in 1995.
The eighth hole has become the signature hole of Pinheiros Altos and a must play hole when visiting the Algarve.
Much of the bird life associated with Pinheiros Altos is visible on this nine. The gentle rolling landscape of the Olives course and the way the holes meander between lakes make for a most tranquil if demanding golfing setting.
