Salgados Golf Club, one of the best golf destinations in the Algarve, has launched a transformative €3.2 million renovation project, cementing its status as a must-visit for golf lovers. This exciting development further enhances the club’s position as one of the finest offerings from Tee Times Golf Agency for unforgettable Portugal golf holidays.
The four-month renovation project, set to be completed in February 2025, promises significant upgrades to the 18-hole course and its facilities. Overseen by Troon’s Vice President of Agronomy, Simon Doyle, and the Troon Design and Development team, the initiative introduces an impressive island green at the par-3 12th hole. This signature feature, surrounded by an expanded lake system, not only adds dramatic visual appeal but also bolsters the habitat for local wildlife, emphasising sustainability.
Salgados Golf Club is already celebrated for its eco-conscious practices, being the only course in Portugal to irrigate exclusively with 100% effluent water. The renovation includes a cutting-edge Rain Bird irrigation system optimised for efficient water use. Improvements like laser-leveled tee boxes and newly reshaped bunkers with fresh sand will elevate the playing experience.
