Its symbollic holes are two challenging and spectacular Par-4s, the 11th and the 14th, and the Par-3 15th which runs alongside the beach. The course features undulating fairways which run alongside a nature reserve before leading gently down to the shores of the Atlantic.
“The Royal and the Ocean are two great courses. On the Royal, you have to hit the ball straight – you’re going to be in trouble if you don’t. The Ocean is different, it forces you to shape more shots and I really enjoy that.” – António Sobrinho – 11-time Portuguese National Champion
