The Faldo Course plays long at 7258 yards with a modern twist on a traditional recipe, with the heather, lush woodland and sandy tracts of Sunningdale being replaced by cacti, wild herbs, holm oaks, ancient olive trees and desert scrub bunkers. This is a golf course that revels in the classic principles of strategic play.
Designed by Christy O'Connor Jnr to complement the iconic Faldo Course, the O'Connor Course is lined within the orange groves that run through a valley full of streams and water hazards, which demands high accuracy from golfers. Standing at 6900 yards, with the self-proclaimed 'amen' corner waiting for you, this extremely scenic layout is now one of the most sought-after courses in the Algarve.
