Golf in Portugal
The Algarve is a golfers delight with around 80 golf courses and academies scattered along the Algarve region. The first golf course appeared in the 1920's in between Portimao and Praia da Rocha, but didnt have greens made of grass, lack of fresh water meant that the 'greens' were made from sand and oil! The first proper golf course opened in 1966 at Penina, just a few kilomatres away from Lagos, and was designed by Sir Henry Cotton, who enjoyed the later years of his life in the area, and could be seen on the course with his caddy, his clubs draped over the back of a donkey!!
Boavista
Designed by Howard Swan, Boavista appeared on the scene in 2002, and sat alongside the housing development
The Cache
This cache is one of a series of caches with a golf theme. It is located close to the 1st Green, and 17th tee, and is a micro container with a difference. A short drive to the clubhouse provides a magnificent view over Lagos if you walk up the steps to the clubhouse. Bring your own pen, tweezers might be useful too, and please replace as found
Happy golfing and geocaching!
