It is certainly one of the most picturesque layouts
in Europe, set in extensive grounds of pine forest and undulating dunes
with spectacular views over the Atlantic and the Berlenga Islands beyond.
The course is visually stunning and tremendously exciting to play. Because
of the endless variations of the terrain you'll never play it the same
way twice.
Respected American golf architect, Cabell B. Robinson has designed
the course to be the complete golfing challenge with bold deep bunkers,
undulating greens, and natural sand border areas contrasting sharply
with the lush green fairways. The ladies' tees are also far enough forward
to make sure that length isn't a problem. Cabell feels very strongly
that the course must be fun for everyone to play. Praia D'El Rey, rated
13th best course in Europe by Golf World magazine, has become one of
the major golfing destinations in Europe. Not surprisingly, Praia D'El
Rey has become a favourite destination for both private and sponsored
events as well as international tournaments.
