Boavista offers two distinct parts - the Resort Section (the 1st to the 3rd and the 13th to the 18th) and the Country Section (the 4th to the 12th) - which provide a variety of attractive and interesting holes. From the first tee shot to the last putt, the course offers an enjoyable range of very individual golf holes which offer varying challenges for all levels of golfer. The par 3's are particularly strong and no golfer who has played over the ravine at the 194 metre 6th will ever forget the experience. From holes 13 to 17, water features, which form part of the irrigation system, have been added and they provide a safe haven for the wildfowl which now abounds in the area.

Reviews
A stunning golf course with something for everyone - the yellow tees offer a most enjoyable & interesting round of holiday golf whilst the white tees are a serious test of your game....... and your nerve !
The par 3 sixth hole, over a yawning ravine, is probably one of the most unnerving holes in the Algarve....... particularly if the wind's blowing into your face. In addition, the closing five holes really test your game with the 17th (requiring accuracy) & 18th (requiring length) holes providing an excellent finale to your round.
Value For Money: Good
