| American
golf architect, Cabell B. Robinson, viewed being asked to design the
18 hole par 72 championship Praia D'El Rey golf course as the opportunity
of a lifetime. "This is the kind of landscape we architects try
to create, but at Praia D'El Rey it's all here, naturally. Now it's
my responsibility to protect it", he says modestly.
It
is certainly one of the most picturesque layouts in Europe, set
in extensive grounds of pine forest and undulating dunes with spectacular
views over the Atlantic and the Berlenga Islands beyond.
The
course is visually stunning and tremendously exciting to play. Because
of the endless variations of the terrain you'll never play it the
same way twice.
Not
surprisingly, Praia D'El Rey has become a favourite destination
for both private and sponsored events as well as international tournaments.
