Vale da Pinta, also designed by Ronald Fream is a par 71 of 6152 metres. In our opinion, it is one of the best golf courses in Portugal today.  

We have seldom seen a course that has impressed us so much at first sight. 

The course, in the middle of an olive-tree grove, including trees over 1,500 years old, with enormous trunks, is a truly beautiful sight to be enjoyed by everyone. Each hole has its own character, different from all the others.

Special holes are the par-3 11^th, 179 metres in length played from an elevated tee with an enormous bunker protecting the green. A little further on, is the 14^th, a 541-metres long par 5 winding gently through a valley, with a set of fairway bunkers and about 100 metres short of the greens, the oldest olive-tree in the course, over 1,500 years old.
