Pinhal Golf Course, Vilamoura
Inaugurated in 1976, Pinhal was originally designed by the Briton Frank Pennink. Later, in 1985, it was partly redesigned by the American Robert Trent Jones, who introduced new challenges into the course.
Trent Jones' work has given the course a great variety of holes as he brought together two completely different architectural concepts: British and American. As a result, the golfer is confronted by very different kinds of play.
Built in the middle of a beautiful pine wood, with panoramic views over the sea, one of the main characteristics of this course is the small size of its greens, requiring great precision from the golfer in terms of approach shots.
Pinhal is laid out over a mixture of flattish and rolling terrain. Many fairways include narrow necks between ever threatening rows of umbrella pines, but players fortunately also encounter several open holes with pleasant views over Vilamoura and the Atlantic beyond.
