The Amendoeira  O’Connor Golf Course is situated close to Alcantarilha, 35km from Vilamoura, 19km from Albufeira, 14km from Carvoeiro and 6km from Armacao de Pera.

The Amendoeira  O’Connor Jnr. Golf Course complements the neighbouring Amendoeira Faldo Golf Course and takes full advantage of being situated in a fertile valley. It’s various water features, both lakes and watercourses that are spread throughout the entire course, demand accuracy and test all levels of golfers. The rich topsoil has been skilfully landscaped and planted with mature palm trees, affording a lush, ornamental setting similar to an extensive oasis.

This Course has tees that are generally connected to the fairways, but its greater overall distance, the water hazards and large subtly contoured greens provide the main challenges. Large areas of water demand accurate play and creative shot making and each lake and stream are to be maintained as small wildlife sanctuaries.

The Amendoeira O’Connor Golf Course opened in 2008 and was designed by Christy O’Connor Jnr.
