OConnor Description

The 18 hole O'Connor Golf Course is located very near to Amendoeira. Perfectly complementing the Faldo Course, whilst taking advantage of the rich valley soil, in contrast to the arid hillside, the O'Connor Course offers no less of a challenge, requiring accurate play. The front 9 holes encounter a number of lakes, the 3rd being recognised by a Moorish relic situated on a island in the adjacent lake. Holes 7, 8 and 9 offer a particular challenge, where the water hazards could force a lack of concentration. The hole number ten leads player away from the northern boundary, setting up the challenge for the inward nine.

Large bodies of water and meandering watercourses will test players all the way to the 18th. Assaulting the hillside in front of the clubhouse, this final hole will require players to drive with pinpoint accuracy to set up the approach shot to a two-tier green benched into the hillside.

First Class

Tom from Ireland
Really beautiful and changing course but not for high handicap golfers - anyone over 18 will struggle to score with all the water and carries to the fairway. Great service included!

No buggies. Chaos.

Graham from United Kingdom
Waited an hour for a buggy. Chaotic. Disorganised. Didn't get anywhere near finishing the round.

Only if you are on your game

Tony from United Kingdom
Be precise on all of your green approaches. There is water, ditches & bulrushes everywhere. You will need a course plannner & yardage, if you want to finish with the ball you started with?

Excellent course and facilities

Liam from United Kingdom
Fantastic facilities and customer service. Course in great condition. Better for higher handicappers than the Faldo, but still testing enough for better players.

Course News & Notices

The final of the Pot of Gold series of tournaments was held at the new O'Connor course at the Oceanico Amendoeira Resort near Alcantarilha. Organised by Golfocus, this 4-player team event involved competitions throughout 2008 at six other courses: Quinta do Vale, Quinta da Ria, Pinheiros Altos, Penina, Quinta do Lago and Benamor. With participants representing their favorite restaurants in the Algarve. The final was a closely fought affair as three teams started tied in first place based on their aggregate results over the series.
