Oceanico Faldo Course & Oceanico O'Connor Jnr. | HD Drone Video
Designed by Christy O’Connor Jnr., this course complements the neighbouring Oceanico Faldo Course and also takes full advantage of being situated in a fertile valley. Its various water features, both lakes and watercourses that are spread throughout the entire course, demand accuracy and test from all golfers, and the rich topsoil has been skillfully landscaped and planted with mature palm trees, affording a lush, ornamental setting like an extensive oasis.
This course has tees that are generally connected to the fairways, but its greater overall distance, the water hazards and big greens provide its challenge. Golfers must also be prepared to read the subtly contoured putting surfaces that are strong features.
Holes 7, 8 and 9, average length par 4’s, offer a particular challenge as all three run alongside lakes, so golfers’ concentration and accuracy of tee-shots as well as approaches are vital. 3rd and 17th holes are both excellent par 3’s.
Two consecutive par 4’s, the 14th and 15th with large rolling greens, are tough hurdles to overcome at such a critical stage of the round, and then the finishing hole, 356m off the white tee, requires a precision drive to set up the approach to a two tier green benched into the hillside. Christy's 18th hole brings the course to a fantastic finish, a gentle climb with the river running along the right hand side. 'This hole is a humdinger; once you get up here and look down on the golf course, you will feel you have been blessed.'
Designed by Sir Nick Faldo with strategic play in mind this 6598m PAR 72 championship course demands careful positioning to score well.
The land at Amendoeira is dramatic and the project has the potential to be a real talking point in the Algarve. With so many courses in the region, that’s no mean feat, pointed out Nick Faldo, during his visit in 2007.
In a modern twist of a traditional recipe, cacti and wild herbs replace the role of Sunningdale’s heather, spartan Holm oaks and ancient olive trees take the place of a lush English woodland, and desert scrub bunkers of crushed limestone replace Berkshire’s sandy tracts in a golf course that revels in the classic principles of strategic play.
Nick said: This was a very exciting project, which gave me a great opportunity to exploit my passion for design the same way I exploited my passion for playing. You have incredible views, beautiful undulating land and any time you have natural terrain like this, it is great fun to work with.
The real skill is that when you stand on the tee, the golf hole tells you what to do and if you do what it tells you there is reward but if you don’t you’re penalised. The back nine is quite hilly, which is fantastic because we’ve got some great views to complement the course.
I like my courses to be challenging to whoever plays them. There might be easy holes in some places, but they are a challenge because you have to think about them, and that is what I am after. The best compliment you can get in the design business is when players come off the course and say ’wow, that was a challenge,’ and that’s just what I planned at Amendoeira Golf Resort.

Golfbreaks' Review: Amendoeira Golf Resort 4* (Algarve)
To find out more:
Amendoeira Golf Resort is situated in Silves, Algarve, hidden away amongst the Monchique Mountains, yet just a short drive away from the south coast. Amendoeira resort offers a mix of modern apartments and villas, and is on the doorstep of arguably two of the most prestigious golf courses in the Algarve, the Oceanico Faldo Course and O’Connor Jnr Course.
There are two on-site 18 hole championship courses in the shape of The Faldo Course and The O’Connor Course. The Faldo requires golfers to position themselves well through each hole to achieve a decent score. The O’Connor Jnr compliments the neighbouring Faldo and lies in a fertile valley giving off an impression of an oasis with small water features and vast lakes which can test even the most experienced golfer. Both courses are overlooked by the superb Amendoeira Resort clubhouse.

Oceânico Faldo Course
The Oceânico Faldo Course has an Arizona desert feel, especially with the beautiful terracotta colour of the earth. This championship course demands careful positioning to score well and fulfills Nick Faldo's design objective of being a challenging course...
O Oceânico Faldo Golf Course, em terreno acidentado, liga os dois extremos mais elevados da imensa propriedade da Amendoeira.
A estratégia é um factor que deve sempre ser tido em conta e os jogadores têm que se posicionar bem em cada shot para conseguirem um bom resultado. Desde o primeiro buraco, um desafiante par 4 em ascensão, até ao último, um magnífico par 5, as colinas e o terreno ondulado potenciam um jogo estimulante, tanto em concentração como em perícia.
