Boavista Golf Course

Boavista is a championship golf course, and there are four tee positions golfers can play from. The Championship tees measure 6744 yards and provide quite the challenge, even for the biggest hitters. The competition tees are 6284 yards, while the yellow tees measure 5758 yards and the reds 5171 yards.

Par is 71, with four par-5 holes, nine par-4s and five par-3s. Men require a handicap of 27 and ladies 34 to play here so make sure you have a copy of your handicap certificate when checking in.

For the water lovers out there, the fourteenth, fifteenth and seventeenth all play around an elegantly designed lake and provide a suitable challenge for golfers of all abilities. These holes offer a little extra trepidation as you approach the end of your round. There’s even a replica of the famous Swilken Bridge found at the 18th hole of St. Andrews, a heartwarming touch that pays homage to the home of golf.

Boavista Signature Hole

The signature hole  is the sixth. A tricky par-3 hole over a ravine that plays 194 yards off the championship tees. For those wanting something a little less intimidating, opt for the yellow tees, where it’s a more forgiving 152 yards.

In summary, Boavista  golf course offers a great day’s golf for players of all abilities. The four tee boxes provide a challenge no matter your level and the views are some of the best in the area. There’s a wide range of excellent hotels in the area, including the Boavista Golf Resort, located at the same venue as the golf course.
