This new sister course to Quinta da Ria is of a Championship character which will provide an enjoyable challenge for most players. Set in rolling land dotted with almond trees it provides open fairways, well placed bunkers and enough water to attract the odd misdirected golf ball. The first two holes indicate the true nature of the course emphasizing the need for good club selection combined with accuracy. Players are already making their comments about the tricky Par-5 sixteenth hole and the the memorable eighteenth.

On the other side of the road from Quinta da Ria, there's Quinta de Cima. Although they're very close together, the two courses offer very different challenges. They do have one thing in common though - they're both golfing gems. Quinta de Cima only provides distant glimpses of the sea and is hillier, longer and tougher than its neighbour, with lots of bunkers and very tricky greens. A stream with a number of small waterfalls crosses the 4th, 5th, 6th and 13th fairways and turns into a lake on the signature 18th.
