Vilamoura
Colina Verde Golf
Colina Verde golf course consists of a loop of 9 short holes (one par 4 and the other par 3). Logically, this single par 4 (or 2) holes is the longest at 245 metres. The fifth hole is one of the most interesting with a green that is well protected by the lake in the middle of the course.
Colina Verde is suitable for players of all levels. Straightforward enough to be suitable for beginners but also testing enough for experienced players, wishing to sharpen their iron play and short game.

"MONTE REI NEWS UPDATE"
Monte Rei Golf & Country Club is undoubtedly the most exclusive and cosmopolitan development of its kind in the Algarve. Surrounded by over 1,000 acres of the most beautiful Algarvian countryside, when complete it will have two spectacular and challenging world-class 18-hole golf courses.
The first, a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course in the north of the development. The second course, which will be of an equally high standard, will be created in the south, once the first course is completed. In addition, there will be a magnificent Clubhouse, which will have a fine dining restaurant and will provide a focal point for the development.
Landscaping has been designed to ensure that much of the Algarvian landscape is preserved and enhanced.
There are two 18-hole, championship golf courses planned. The first course – a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course – in the north of the development.
The course features a total of five lakes, bordered by indigenous trees and plants. Naturally, in addition to all of this, there is a world class driving range with extensive practice facilities. The second course, which will be of an equally high standard, will be created in the south.
Jack Nicklaus paid a personal visit to each and every hole on the new course during his recent visit emphasising his hands on approach to golf course design - see pics below.
