This is a short 9-hole course, which is visually very attractive, yet surprising because of its challenging nature, designed by David Thomas. His most famous project is the Brabazon Course, near Birmingham, England. That course has had the honour of hosting the Ryder Cup no less than three times, in 1985, 89 and 93. This, the world’s most important golfing event, is a twice-yearly meeting of European and U.S. teams.
Many golfers will be surprised that a course just 970 metres long could be so complete and challenging – a real test for champions. In order to play this course to Par (27) you will be faced with a series of obstacles from the first right through the final hole. The distance and the difficulties posed by these Par 3 holes vary, but number 11 is the longest at 161 metres. The shortest is hole number 3, covering just 70 meters.
In addition, Vale de Milho, situated near Carvoeiro, is visually a very attractive course, with waterfalls and wonderful views over the sea.
So, if you want to enjoy yourself, practice your short iron shots and at the same time take in the beautiful and relaxing landscape, then Vale de Milho will not disappoint you.
