Golf Courses NORTE - Vidago Palace Golf Course - Presentation
The golf course at Vidago Palace is a Cameron & Powell redesign of an original Mackenzie Ross 9, dating back to 1936. Today, the upgraded course meets USGA specifications, having been transformed into an international championship standard par 72, retaining the integrity of the original design and faithfully reflecting the aesthetics, playability, spirit and character of the site.
Features include elevated tees and greens, strategic bunker
positioning and greens that demand a sharp eye to read the slopes.
As a result,Vidago Palace Golf Course will delight and challenge the most seasoned player.
The course is one of dramatic contrasts which are united by a
singular respect for the surrounding nature. Pathways and retaining
walls use local stone and centuries-old trees have been preserved
wherever possible. The first holes are played in a forested and
relatively flat valley floor; the later ones in open expanses with
magnificent vistas and awe-inspiring views of distant hilltops and
villages. All 18 holes represent a challenge and each of the last 9
is distinctly different from the previous one, so that golfers can
test and enjoy their full range of strokes.
