Characteristics

Silves is a quiet spot of land in the region Algarve, but its golf course is anything but a walk in the park. Silves Golf has a nice selection of par 3 holes, and the four par 5 holes are exceptional. Strategic playing determines the outcome of the game. Silves induces the golfers to play riskily, but it also rewards the courageous. This merciless test of precision challenges players of all handicaps. From most tees the golfer has a spectacular view on the surrounding valley with huge palm trees and an olive grove and on the Monchique Mountains.
