Extra info
Salgados overlooks the lengthy Praia Grande ten minutes west of Albufeira, a short drive from the airport and central to the Algarve.
With its open terrain and seaside location, Salgados is very much a traditional links course.
The eighteen holes play across level ground for an agreeable walk, but the 6,080 metre par 72 layout is a true test of golf. It is above all a course of character and each hole presents a different challenge.
With sand dunes on one side and marshland on the other, the course meanders through a thriving wildfowl habitat of saltwater lagoons, canals and freshwater lakes.
Water hazards on many of the holes call for steady nerves as much as accuracy. Sea breezes, so welcome on warmer days, become a factor to be reckoned with when they freshen.
It is a superb location, taking one closer to nature and enhancing every round of golf.
