Boavista Golf Course
The course at Boavista Golf Resort opened in January 2002 and quickly became established as one of the Western Algarve’s premier courses. This impressive 18 hole championship course offers exceptional playing conditions and was designed by Howard Swan a renowned UK based architect.
Boavista offers two distinct parts – the Resort Section (the 1st to the 3rd and the 13th to the 18th) and the Country Section (the 4th to the 12th) – which provide a variety of attractive and interesting holes. From the first tee shot to the last putt, the course offers an enjoyable range of very individual golf holes which offer varying challenges for all levels of golfer. The par 3’s are particularly strong and no golfer who has played over the ravine at the 194 metre 6th will ever forget the experience. From holes 13 to 17, water features, which form part of the irrigation system, have been added and they provide a safe haven for the wildfowl which now abounds in the area.
Breathtaking views, spectacular scenery and the crystal clear Atlantic Ocean, which is visible from most holes, all combine to make this course a delight for the golfer and visitor alike.
The course, blessed with stunning views from all sides, with the Bay of Lagos to the East and the impressive backdrop of the Monchique Mountains to the North, is a stern test for golfers of all standards.
The first nine climbs to the highest point of the resort, where a pause at the eighth tee will allow you to experience panoramic views of the resort. Subsequent holes descend to an area where water features, streams, lakes and arched bridges. Without doubt the signature hole on the outward nine is the stunning par 3, 6th Hole, at 194m one of the most challenging par three holes in the Algarve. This is a perfect course to play when staying near the town of Lagos and is always a hit with our golfers
