Dom Pedro Golf: Europe’s finest golfing venue will welcome the next player’s generation
through two tournaments this November and December
Dom Pedro Hotels & Golf Collection has revealed a sensational new affiliation with the Ladies European Tour (LET) to host its Qualifying School this November and December.
The Pre-Qualifying Stage will be played around the Dom Pedro Laguna and Millennium golf courses from 27-30 November for the players needing to qualify to the final. Going side by side and sharing the clubhouse, Millennium and Laguna promise to deliver an electric ambience for those fighting it out across 72 holes.
All tournament players will be staying at the luxurious four-star Dom Pedro Vilamoura hotel overlooking the beach and close to the famous Vilamoura Marina with fantastic pubs and restaurants.
“We are thrilled to be welcoming the LET Qualifying School to Dom Pedro. This is an exciting opportunity for us to showcase Europe’s finest golfing destination to a new audience and play our part in discovering the next great talents of women’s golf. Offering year-round sunshine and the finest course conditions, in addition to our wider destination offering, Dom Pedro has everything a female golfer could need.” – said Pietro Dal Fabbro, CEO of Dom Pedro Golf.
The new collaboration will allow Ladies European Tour members to be able to stay at a reduced rate in any of the Dom Pedro’s hotels in Vilamoura and have unlimited access to Millennium, Laguna, Pinhal, Victoria and Old Course golf courses in December and January to be prepared for the new season.
We are delighted to partner with Dom Pedro Hotels & Golf Collection and I am sure that our members will enjoy the excellent conditions for a personalised stay, as well as the unique golf experience offered by the brand. Dom Pedro Vilamoura will be the perfect venue for our Qualifying School and it is rare that you find a facility with such a wide variety of superb courses and practise areas, which are all in magnificent condition. While Qualifying School can be a stressful time, the competitors can rest assured that the on and off-course facilities will be of the highest quality.” – said Mark Lichtenhein, LET Chief Executive.
Dom Pedro Golf is strong committed to improve his irrigation system to make it more economically and environmentally efficient.
Dom Pedro Golf has installed a new water collection system from the lakes that, with the exact pressure, allows irrigation of Dom Pedro Golf Courses with a savings of 20 to 30% in energy, in water and also in labor.
The Millennium Golf Course will reduce 30.26 tonnes of CO2, and 87,500KW of energy saving in one year, and the Victoria Golf Course 61.26 tonnes of CO2 and reduce 177,000KW per year. Really impressive numbers that justify the considerable investment.
Energy efficiency will be visible on all golf courses of the Dom Pedro group in proportion to their characteristics.
Simão da Cunha, Head of Golf Operations, Dom Pedro Golf, said: “Our team has never worked harder to push the boundaries and ensure our courses are run in the most efficient and sustainable way possible. The work we have done with Grundfos has already shown exceptional results and will ensure our courses are not only in perfect condition all year round, but also increasingly energy efficient and more environmentally friendly.”
Summer in the Algarve, a time of year with high temperatures and no rain at all, makes maintenance of golf courses a huge challenge and often a desperate struggle from the maintenance team to keep the greens looking like a pristine green carpet, that all golfers want to enjoy.
