Boavista enjoys a beautiful location
in the Western Algarve on a headland between Lagos and
Praia da Luz, commanding magnificent views of the bay
of Lagos, and the distance Monchique hills. Set in the
Boavista Resort, a 250-acre Residential and Leisure
development, Boavista Golf is a welcome addition to
the existing courses in the Western Algarve.
Designed by Howard Swan, the course has been successfully
integrated into the existing natural terrain; his use
of these features makes Boavista a delight to the eye.
The course is presented in two distinct sections, the
holes near to the entrance of Boavista Resort have been
designed in a way to introduce rough off the fairway
which are managed to the highest standards by the green-keeping
staff for play all year round. Holes 5 to 12 have a
more traditional and natural presentation as they are
on an environmentally sensitive area. A number of the
plants and wildlife in this section are protected and
great care has been taken during the construction of
the golf course to blend the layout without damaging
the natural beauty of this cliff-top location.
Each hole at Boavista has been carefully planned to
offer an interesting golf experience for every level
of golfer to enjoy. The views from the 7th hole, the
furthest extent of the golf course, take in the beach
at Praia da Luz all the way along to the headland at
Sagres, the southern most point in continental Europe.
