- Championships hosted
Golfe do Morgado is one of the newer courses to be laid out in the Algarve and it’s also one of the region's tougher layouts. With the Monchique Mountains as a northerly backdrop, the course is routed among the valleys, lakes and vineyards creating a well-conceived 18-hole challenge.
Designed by Russell Talley of European Golf Design and opened for play in 2003, Mordago is still a relative youngster and requires time to mature but the layout is challenging, stretching out to 6,400 metres from the tips. The best holes appear at the end of each nine-hole loop interspersed with the excellent short par four 12th. Five par fives – at holes 3, 7, 10, 13 and 16 – contribute towards a course par of 73, with feature holes appearing at the short par four 9th and 12th.
Operated by NAU Hotels, the Morgado course is one of three 18-hole layouts owned by the company. The Álamos course, opened in 2006, is situated adjacent to Morgado in the foothills of Monchique and it extends to 5,700 metres, playing to a par of 71. The Salgados course, unveiled in 1994, is located close to the coast at Albufeira, a 45-minute drive away.
In December 2016, the European Tour announced that the Open de Portugal was back on its schedule (after an absence of seven years, following Thomas Bjorn's victory at Penha Longa in 2010) with Morgado timetabled to host the competition in May 2017.
