Aroeira 2
Designed
by the architect Donald Steel, with 18 long holes that contour 6 large
lakes, Aroeira's second championship golf course was inaugurated in
April 2000. Aroeira II was built to European Tour recommendation standards
in order to host major international golf events.
One of the course's characteristics is its 5 tees per hole, making
it suitable for all levels of players.
The course has a fairly different concept from
Aroeira
1, consisting of large fast greens, some of which are more
than 700 m2 and are equipped with Penn A2 grass. Aroeira II is the
first Portuguese golf course to use this type of grass on its greens,
which can be cut to a height of only 2 mm. Despite its inviting nature
of greens, the course becomes increasingly difficult as you move from
hole number 1 to number 9 (stroke 1), as well as from number 10 to
number 18 (stroke 2). There are bunkers on the fairways, some of them
in the Scottish style of pot bunkers. But the and traps are not the
only obstacle that have to be taken into account: because of the course's
five large lakes, water is a fairly constant hazard, particularly
at the last nine holes.
Aroeira II is currently home to the Qualifying School of the Ladies
European Tour.
