HOLE 1 PRO TIP: A gentle opening hole and a tee shot played just to the left of the bunkers will leave a short-iron to an inviting green. A good chance to open with a birdie.

HOLE 2 PRO TIP: Probably one of the most difficult par-threes in Portugal and, coming so early in the round, needs to be negotiated with a safe shot to the left half of the green. A little short is definitely better than left or long.

HOLE 3 PRO TIP: Aim your drive just inside the left bunker. A good second will still leave a tough approach to a green that is slightly elevated, so it’s always good to walk away with a par here.

HOLE 4 PRO TIP: A right-to-left tee shot is ideal for a tough second shot to a small green that has run-off areas short and right. This completes a challenging start to the course.

HOLE 5 PRO TIP: Aim at the right-hand bunker from the tee. Take note of the pin position as the green is 46 metres long, and being on the correct level should set up a decent birdie opportunity.

HOLE 6 PRO TIP: It’s important to hit the fairway from the tee to give you the best chance of controlling the second shot to one of the most difficult greens on the course. There’s no future if you go through the green!

HOLE 7 PRO TIP: Keep the drive up the right side of the fairway. Aim the second shot inside the right-hand fairway bunker. A birdie chance beckons if you make the right club selection on your approach shot and carry the false front on the green.

HOLE 9 PRO TIP: A strong par-four requiring a good tee shot down the right side of the fairway. This is another green where the middle of the putting surface is a good place to be and long is a definite no no!

HOLE 11 PRO TIP: Another chance to pick up a birdie at this straightaway par-five.

Drive down the right side and a well-played second shot will leave a short iron to a tricky green, hopefully providing that birdie opportunity.

HOLE 12 PRO TIP: Play short of the bunker at the end of the fairway to leave the best angle to approach this difficult green. Play right for safety, taking plenty of club to avoid the water. Equally, going long will leave a very difficult chip back.

HOLE 17 PRO TIP: For the bigger hitters, this short par-four becomes a risk-andreward drive from the tee, making sure you avoid the “love grass” left of the green. For mere mortals, play out to the right, where a mid-iron could still set up a birdie opportunity.
