Golden Eagle |
| The Golden
Eagle is situated Rio Maior, about 1 hour north of Lisbon. This championship
course designed by U.S. architect Rocky Roquemore, covers 90 hectares, almost
twice the size of an ordinary course.
The course fairways are bordered with gentle pine trees, eucalyptus, mimosas, camellias and hydrangeas. The beautiful natural setting and the calm that reigns allow for golden eagles to soar through the sky in the late afternoons. The Penn Eagle fairway
grass is unique in Europe and the Penn Cross greens are quite sizeable
but not too undulated. Beware of the plentiful bunkers, there are 87 altogether
and in many cases, very large. Not to mention the seven water hazards
makes for an exhilarating round of golf. |
