A impromtu game in Oceanico O’Connor, in as the day was a bank holiday in Portugal and there were a few eager golfers looking for a game especially as the fine weather continues. A specially arranged price of just €50.00 including a buggy to play O Connor was another great reason!
It was the Society first trip out of the Central Algarve this year (apart from Costa Azul ) and it was a question whether to take the old EN125 road or face the toll on the motorway. We as a Society will favour more local courses from now for this reason but on occasion will venture further afield.
Again golden brown fairways as evening ‘frost’ keeps the temperatures low so stopping the grass from growing. Tight fairways saw us play winter rules and the green were not as smooth as others we have played this year. Regardless, it was a super day to be out and we were well looked after by the staff. If you have never played either this course or the Faldo go make the effort it is a great venue.
