Set in a natural valley just inland from Praia da Luz, Espiche Golf Course offers a refreshingly understated alternative to some of the larger resort layouts in the Algarve. Opened in 2012 and designed around the existing landscape, the par-72 course is known for its sustainable approach and minimal disruption to the surrounding countryside.

Fairways weave through native vegetation and rolling terrain, with firm conditions and subtly contoured greens encouraging a thoughtful, links-style approach on certain holes. While not overly long, changing coastal breezes can significantly influence club selection. For those staying near Lagos, Espiche provides a relaxed yet engaging round in a peaceful rural setting.
