Oceanico Laguna Golf Course: One Of The Best Golf Course In Algarve

Outlined over low coastal landscape, Ocenico Laguna with its many water hazards and few trees is significantly different from the other courses at the resort and many of the holes convey a links atmosphere. US golf architect Joseph Lee created this course which was opened in 1990 and many former guests had recognized it as part of the former 27-hole Vilamoura III Course.

Unlike the other Vilamoura Courses, Ocenico Laguna is located on relative flat and open terrain. The inspiration for its modern design is the ideal installation of bunkers and water hazards which demand accuracy of play. It's been subject to continual improvements through the years.

Measuring 6,111 meters from the white tees, the Par 72 course includes several lakes which influence play on a total of 11 holes. In addition to serving as hazards and emergency water reservoirs the lake serves a helpful purpose in attracting a number of aquatic birds, both resident and migratory, as well as amphibians, otters and terrapins. Vilamoura's master developer, Lusotur, have set up an environmental nature park not far from the course. Apart from the lakes and a remarkable 79 bunkers another hazard is the wind that usually blows over the exposed course.

Also, the great Complex at Ocenico Vilamoura offers the complete holiday experience from rounds of golf to 5 Star Hotel accommodation. The brand new clubhouse offers fantastic views and food and drinks at its best. The pro shop offers Callaway Club Rental, buggies and even shoe hire together with the extraordinary and very modern practice facilities. This is really is a world class golf resort.
