Silves Golf Course, located near the town of Silves in the Algarve region of Portugal, is a relatively recent addition to the portfolio of courses managed by the Pestana Group. Crafted by architect Fausto Nascimento in 2007, this 18-hole course is set amidst traditional Algarve fruit orchards and small farms, providing golfers with a unique playing environment.
Challenging play is central to the design ethos of Silves Golf Course. The layout demands precise shots and strategic club selection, with the first tee immediately setting the tone with two water hazards framing the fairway. The course also rewards aggressive play, while the bunkers are positioned to challenge those who attempt ambitious shots.
Silves Golf Course offers several amenities to its visitors, such as a chipping green and bunker area, a pro-shop, and a restaurant & bar for rest and refreshments. Equipment such as buggies and clubs are available for rent, providing convenience for all golfers.
While a significant number of golfers find themselves drawn back to Silves for more rounds, the course also sees its share of golfers who venture out to explore other local golf courses. These include Gramacho and Vale da Pinta in Carvoeiro, Alto Golf in Portimao, Salgados in Albufeira, and Morgado in Portimao.
