How to Start Your Golf Journey

After your first session, practise at the driving range or refine your short game on the putting and chipping areas.

When ready to play a full round, start with nine holes on the North Course. This lets beginners get comfortable without feeling overwhelmed. As your skills develop, the South and Laranjal courses offer a true taste of why this resort is regarded as one of Europe’s premier golf destinations.
