Golfing holidays and golf breaks the Algarve.
Laguna Golf Course, Vilamoura
Opened in 1990 and designed by Joseph Lee, the Laguna Golf Course makes full use of the wet, marshy ground near the sea. It is the most recent of the Vilamoura courses, comprising three loops of nine holes, (North, South and East) for a total of 27 holes.
Big hitters can hit more freely than on the resorts other courses as the fairways are wider and the trees are less threatening. Even though it looks more intimidating than it plays, making a good score can be hard. Strategically placed bunkers are the main difficulty and water is a nearly permanent obstacle, not to mention the bunkers.
There are several ways to play this course, as one soon discovers at hole number 5 on the East Course, which is a 315 metres Par 4, with a lake covering the right-handed dogleg. Here the player's options for the first shot range from a driver to a number five iron. The player must reflect that by choosing a wood the second shot will be significantly shorter. But this also brings the water into play, so highly increasing the risks.
