- Salgados
Course
Description
The course is set on the flat lands behind the sandy beach of Praia de
Galé. The environmental nature of the course is to associate it with a
typical Links Course but with the added asset of the sun. It is very
open to the elements with little vegetation and lots of water hazards.
It requires a technically skilled player to achieve a good result from a
round due to the prevailing onshore breeze. Course
