Morgado Golf Course: A Championship Gem in the Algarve Nestled at the foothills of the Algarve's Monchique Mountains, just a short drive from the vibrant seaside town of Portimão and the charming fishing village of Alvor, Morgado Golf Course is home to the prestigious Portuguese Open Championship. This par-73 course offers a stunning and varied layout that caters to golfers of all levels, providing a memorable experience from start to finish. Morgado presents two distinct sets of nine holes — the front nine features a flatter landscape, while the back nine introduces more undulating terrain with breathtaking views of the Monchique Mountains. The back nine also brings an extra challenge as the valley's mountain-sided topography creates a funnel for gusting winds. The golf course is walkable for those up to the challenge, but when the weather heats up, a buggy is highly recommended, especially given the well-designed access paths to the fairways. Though the overall course length is manageable, the par 3s on the front nine stand out with two nearly 200-meter holes, requiring precision and skill. Fortunately, the shorter par 4s balance the challenge, offering opportunities for golfers to hit the green in regulation. Strategy Tip: Build a strong score on the front nine and treat it as a warm-up for the more demanding back nine. The highlight of the round comes at the spectacular 18th hole, a signature finishing hole with an elevated tee that reveals a panoramic view of the undulating fairway guarded by bunkers and the welcoming Clubhouse in the distance. It's a breathtaking scene and a fantastic way to end your round — by par, birdie, or simply with a smile on your face. Beyond the golf, Morgado offers a peaceful escape immersed in the natural beauty of this tranquil side of the Algarve. With impeccable course conditions and thoughtful management improvements, this championship course will leave you eager to return. ...
