Amendoeira Resort
The Oceânico Group now offers seven great reasons for investors to choose the Amendoeira Golf Resort, other than the sheer quality of the residences and their setting. Simply put, those reasons are membership of seven of Europe's finest golf courses, either quite literally on your doorstep or just a short drive away, available on a number of selected properties. These golf titles will grant privileged membership not just to the two Amendoeira courses, but also to the host course of the Portugal Masters 2007 - 2009, Arnold Palmer's Victoria Golf Course at nearby Vilamoura, plus those other Vilamoura classics, The Old Course, Pinhal, Millennium and Laguna.
A natural paradise, where the sun welcomes you all year round
Amendoeira Golf Resort is located in the district of Silves, only 35 minutes from Faro airport. Silves is a region steeped in history. Occupied by the Romans, and later the Moors, Silves became a prosperous town, rivaling Lisbon as a centre of culture.
Many fascinating remains attest to this rich heritage, including the Sé Veha (Old Cathedral) completed in the 15th century, the 4/5th century castle and parts of the old city wall. Today Silves is a thriving town with many bars and restaurants serving traditional local cuisine.
Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, Amendoeira has the magnificent backdrop of the Monchique Mountains, from rolling hills to verdant valleys of almond, olive and carob trees, and its home to an abundance of flora and fauna, including more than fifty species of birds. The aim is to protect the area's existing habitats, thus encouraging the proliferation of wildlife.
The Faldo Course
Designed by Nick Faldo, with strategic play in mind, this course demands careful positioning to score well; rocky outcrops, meandering watercourses and views to the distant mountains and orange groves define its essential character.
The O'Connor Jnr. Course
Perfectly complementing the Faldo Course whilst taking advantage of the rich valley soil in contrast to the arid hillside, this course offers no less of a challenge. Large areas of water demand accurate play and creative shot making and these lakes and streams are to be maintained as a wildlife sanctuary.
The Golf Clubhouse
The magnificent Clubhouse will feature a professional shop with an extensive range of products, a green side bar and cafe, a spike bar and restaurant, and a banqueting room catering for up to 250 people, along with luxurious changing rooms.
An urban golf and sporting lounge will offer state of the art simulation and programmes to provide tuition and analysis to players of all levels.
The Amendoeira Portuguese PGA approved Golf Academy will boast every practice facility for the amateur and tour professional alike.
In accepting the invitation to become Honorary Members' President of the Amendoeira Golf Resort, Christy O'Connor Sr. completes the triumvirate of true golfing legends to be associated with Oceânico's flagship development.
