Balaia Golf Course
Course information & details
Description:
Balaia sits between Vilamoura and Albufeira, in the grounds of the Balaia Golf Village resort. Opened in 2001 and designed by Southern Golf, it's a nine-hole, par-3 course, entirely about iron play and touch around the green rather than length. From the first tee, an old wooden bridge crosses between two lakes in front of the green, setting the tone for what follows.
The 2nd, 4th, 7th and 8th are the holes that ask the most of you, with the 4th the longest at 160 metres, flanked by trees that punish anything off-line. The 9th, generally reckoned the most attractive hole on the course, closes out the round. It's a short game workout more than a test of power, and a natural fit for beginners, families or a warm-up before a bigger Algarve course.
Facilities include a full driving range with a short game area and a section for professionals, several putting greens, and a clubhouse restaurant with a warm welcome. Book Balaia when you want golf without the four-hour commitment.
