About Amendoeira Golf Resort - Faldo & O'Connor Jnr.

This Amendoeira Golf Resort database record represents two separate 18-hole, par-72 courses at the same Algarve resort rather than one golf course. The Faldo Course was designed by Sir Nick Faldo and has a published back-tee length of 6,598 metres, while the O'Connor Jnr Course was designed by Christy O'Connor Jnr and extends to 6,708 metres from its longest published tees. Each has its own scorecard, ratings, routing and design identity, so combining their statistics into one set of course fields would be misleading.

The resort also contains a separate floodlit nine-hole par-3 Academy course. The Faldo layout uses more undulating terrain and was conceived as a demanding strategic course, while the O'Connor Jnr course occupies flatter ground and incorporates extensive water features. Shared resort golf facilities include a clubhouse, pro shop, restaurant and bar, driving range, putting greens and long- and short-game practice areas.

The course is a resort golf course. The course was designed by Sir Nick Faldo and Christy O'Connor Jnr. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Driving Range, Putting Greens, Short Game Area, Golf Academy, Pro Shop, Clubhouse, Restaurant, Bar, and 2 more.
