Golfe de Amarante

Mountain route, embellished by several waterfalls, is ideal for those who wish to play golf in one of the most beautiful scenery of Northern Portugal. Situated on Quinta da Deveza and surrounded by a beautiful and healthy environment of mountains, the course of Amarante was inaugurated in 1997 is a meandering mountain field that requires precision, due to its narrowness, the "bunkers" that protect the "greens" and the Lakes come into play in the holes 3, 8, 12 and 17. Despite its location at 600 metres above sea level, most of the 18 holes are soft, because the architect managed to restrict the climbs to a minimum. The ex-libris of the route is the 4 hole, a par 4 of only 306 yards with a marked degree of difficulty, since the approach shot is hit for a "green" high, measuring only 20 feet wide by 7 long. Any good performance in par 5 holes may be rewarded with a birdie. In 1999 and 2000 has hosted the national championship of professionals.
