 Located
over the skirts of Madalena Hill, Ponte de Lima course is a typical
mountain course, covering six kilometers adorned with luxurious vegetation
and well-restored, historical mansions, which supply infrastructure
for golfing activity.
The first nine holes are placed amongst age-old trees (chestnuts trees,
cork and English oaks), leading, through a ravine, to the Quinta do
Anquião, where holes 1, 2, 8 and 9 provide glorious views over
the Lima valley and, 20 kilometers away, the town of Viana do Castelo.
Hole 3 (par 5), at 622 meters, is the longest one in Portugal and one
of the longest in Europe; hole 8's tee (Par 3) is situated higher, allowing
one to attack directly the green below.
The next nine holes are sited in the Quinta de Pias valley with its
surrounding vines, cornfields, apple and pear trees.
Ponte de Lima Driving Directions: From Viana do Castelo drive north-east up the A3 towards Ponte de Lima and Valença. Take the Ponte de Lima exit and head back south towards Fornelos. You will find direction signs to the course on all roundabouts
