Salgados Golf Course
Salgados is Pedro Vasconcelos's design, laid out with American architect Robert Muir Graves and opened in September 1994 within the wetlands of the Salgados Lagoon Nature Reserve, near Albufeira. A substantial renovation followed in 2012 under landscape architect Álvaro Mano, and the course has been freshened again more recently, including a new island green at the 12th.
It's a flat, links-style par 72 of around 6,100 metres, where water does most of the defending, in play on the majority of holes rather than literally every one. The signature pairing is the 6th, a par-5, and the reworked 12th, a par-3 played to that new island green. Palm trees line the fairways in place of the pines found elsewhere in the Algarve, and the wind off the coast is a constant factor on this exposed, open site. The flat ground means the buggy is optional rather than essential.
The clubhouse has a restaurant and bar, and the resort adds a driving range, resident professionals, locker room and pro shop. Book a round at the course built into a wetland reserve, and one regularly singled out as some of the best value golf in the Algarve.
