Cut through majestic pine trees and around stunning blue lakes, Aroeira has two championship golf courses that were designed by some of Europe’s most renowned architects, and have played host to a number of prestigious professional events. The resort benefits from an amazing microclimate that allows golf to be played in the sunshine all year round, and makes Aroeira an attractive option, particularly in the dark winter months.
Aroeira I Course
Aroeira I opened for play in 1973, having been designed by Frank Pennink. Since then, the course has steadily built up an impressive reputation, culminating with the award of the Portuguese Open in 1996 and 1997. From the championship tees, Aroeira I reaches 6,609 yards, and set amidst some 900 acres of beautiful pines, is a stunning location for a game of golf.
Aroeira II Course
With the inauguration of the second course in the year 2000, Aroiera was confirmed as one of Portugal’s premier golfing destinations. Aroeira II was conceived by Donald Steel, the man responsible for so many outstanding projects both in the UK and abroad, and has been earmarked for future Portuguese Opens. The course winds its way around several lakes, and with a variety of tee markers on offer, it remains playable for golfers of all standards.
Aroeira has an excellent golf academy, where you can seek the advice of the expert PGA professionals or simply work on a few of the game’s finer points
