Montado
Close
to Setubal, in a region with great opportunities for tourism amongst
which golf is surely a highlight, the Montado course is surrounded by
famous muscatel vineyards that were planted here more than a century
ago.
It was designed by the Portuguese Duarte Sottomayor, who began his career
working with the famous Robert Trent Jones.
The course unfolds beneath old oaks and younger olive trees, chestnut
and pines, planted when the course was first built, whilst around it
wind creeks and natural lakes.
Some holes are unforgettable. Hole number 5, a Par 4 with a dogleg to
the left, demands a good drive in which the second shot is played onto
a wide green protected by water. Another hole of great scenic beauty
is number 13, a Par 4 that provides a great view over Palmela Castle
and an excellent opportunity for a birdie. On this course the golfer
is almost always offered two choices for playing the holes. The riskier
option implies heavy penalties if the shot is not accurately hit. |
