Quinta do Lago North GC – Resurfaces with great Level

Portugal Golf: Quinta do Lago North Golf Course begins to resurface with great level. It was closed on 17th November last year to enter complete refurbishment, is already taking new shape and promises to be a new challenge in this luxury resort in the Algarve, Portugal.

It has been removed tons and tons of dirt from the old field and all the surrounding areas of the fairways and greens and it is being deployed tons and tons of new bases, new earth and sand greens, roughs and new areas for new fairways, surrounding the roughs.

It is very time consuming but it is being made hole by hole and the deadlines are being met. There are already some seeded fairways, bunkers marked, limited watering greens and lots of work done.

Photos of today, two ‘par 3’, green of hole 8 already with grass and the 14th hole ready to receive the grass.

Experts say that this will be a field of ‘six’ stars in the Algarve. Let’s wait until the end of the year and if the weather helps to see, play and then analyze it… Looking good for now. It is due for completion in October, 2014.

When completed of course Tee Times will review it and surely offer it again on its best Golf holidays packages as before. We’ll keep you updated.
