The course is set on the flat lands behind the sandy beach of Praia de Galé. The environmental nature of the course is to associate it with a typical Links Course but with the added asset of the sun. It is very open to the elements with little vegetation and lots of water hazards. It requires a technically skilled player to achieve a good result from a round due to the prevailing onshore breeze.

Salgados is situated very close to the sea and water is a permanent hazard on the course, coming into play on almost every hole. You need to play straight on this challenging layout, which has a very American feel. Salgados provides a contrast to any other course in the area and is fine if you're looking for something different, but is nonetheless not one of our favourites. If you like Florida golf though, give it a try.
