Palheiro offers shades of Augusta National with its landscaping and stunning flora.

Palheiro is firmly about visitors gaining maximum enjoyment from their golfing experience. Generous fairways and greens combine with wonderful natural undulations, umbrella pines and flowers to create a truly lovely course. This pleasant design philosophy is also seen  on many courses in Iberia as the designer, Cabell B. Robinson, has created dozens of layouts in Andalucía and the Algarve. There’s even a Michelin – starred chef overseeing the clubhouse restaurant and balcony views you’d normally need to take a trip in a cable car to enjoy.
