Designed by Christy O’Connor Jnr., the Oceanico O Connor Jnr compliments the neighbouring Oceanico Faldo Course taking full advantage of its location in its fertile plain. Its various water features, both lakes and watercourses that are spread throughout the entire course, demand accuracy and test from all golfers. Oceanico Faldo is much different track with a hilly aspect, huge bunkers and rocky outcrops. Collectively they are referred to as the courses of Amendoeira Golf Resort.
Opened in October 2008 the Society has never played here so our visit was long overdue. An ensemble of ten players turned up with eager anticipation. The front nine played so much easier than the back as the wind was with us. The course turned the corner at the 10th hole and so it was virtually wind all the way back and the scores tended to reflect this.
Everyone commented how much they enjoyed it and we shall be back again soon. Congratulations to Frazer Graham playing over just 9 to shoot 38pts.
1st: Frazer Graham (h/c 9): 38pts
2nd: Byrn Lister (h/c 18): 34pts
Nearest The Pin (13th): Mark Patterson
