Ocean Golf Club | |
| The Ocean Course is set adjacent to the Atlantic and is laid out more like a links type course, with some holes winding their way through the estate of Vale do Lobo. A very challenging course for all grades of golfer. | ||
The first hole is some what intimidating, to the left a view over a lake and on the right trees and shrubs. The tee shot has to be very accurate, slightly to the left side of the fairway which gives you a good look at the elevated green. After meandering through tree lined fairways you come to the ninth hole a par 4. This 329 meter hole is fraught with danger, out of bounds on the left and a lake lurking on the right. A very accurate tee shot is required to give you a good second shot approach to a harsh sloping green, it is better to be short of the pine. Too long and you are in 3 putt country, take care on your up hill putt to short and it comes back to you, a tricky green to say the least. The next few holes lull you into falls security, the par 3 fifteenth lurks. This par three has out of bounds on the left and a sandy wasteland to the right, the green is large and inviting so a deep breath and a good swing is needed, good luck. Too finish their is a par 5, from the tee the fairway rises all the way to an elevated green. If you are chipping on there is a good chance you will not see the flag. To end with once you are on the green it is advisable to have a good look at your putt, as this green is some what difficult to read. COURSE DETAILS First Built 1968
