Palmares

This is a hard course to walk as you start at the top of the hill and wind around it to start with, walking a long way from green to tee. Then once you are at the bottom, its a climb back to wards the top and then down to the links part, then to really rub it in you have to climb back up the hill for the 18th, then climb again to the club house. I now know what a goat has to contend with every day on the hills.

Walking aside, this is an excellent course hence 5/5. The course is very well maintained, there is no complaint with tee, fairway, bunker or green anywhere.

There are three nines here and I played the (hilly) Lagos and the (links) Praia. The wanders from the clubhouse down to the railway, then over the other side are the rest of the links holes coming up to an area that would in the UK be classed an area of conservation, then back under the tracks to another couple of links holes, then two more to take you back home.

An enjoyable course that warrants a future visit.
