In 2004 Boavista Golf hosted the inaugural round of the prestigious Sir Henry Cooper / Mike Reid Charity Golf Classic. A field of 88 golfers including 22 celebrities from the UK took part in the event. Boavista offers two distinct sections of play providing a variety of attractive and interesting holes. From the first to the last putt on the 18th green it promises a sensible game for the average player. Umbrella pines, blossoming almond, fig, palm and olive trees line the rolling fairways, weaving their way between water hazards and shrewdly placed bunkers. Breathtaking views, spectacular scenery and the clear Atlantic Ocean, which is visible from most holes, all combine to make this course a delight for the golfer.
The views from the next holes take in the whole bay as far as the most westerly headland in Europe.
The prestige of the Algarve as a top golf destination was recently confirmed as it was awarded the Best Golf Destination in the World by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators (IAGTO). |
