Boavista Golf opened on 1st January 2002, the impressive 18 Hole Championship golf course at Boavista Golf Resort has been designed by Howard Swan MSc, past president of The European Institute of Golf Course Architects. His philosophy - to create a course as if it has always been there - has been sensitively applied at the Boavista Golf Resort, preserving, integrating and harmonising with the area's natural terrain.

Th Boavista Golf Resort enjoys a beautiful location in the Western Algarve on a headland between Lagos and Praia da Luz, commanding magnificent views of the bay of Lagos, and the distance Monchique hills. Set in the Boavista Golf Resort, a 250-acre Residential and Leisure development, the Boavista Golf Resort is a welcome addition to the existing courses in the Western Algarve.

Designed by Howard Swan, the Boavista Golf Resort course has been successfully integrated into the existing natural terrain; his use of these features makes Boavista a delight to the eye.

The Boavista Golf Resort course is presented in two distinct sections, the holes near to the entrance of Boavista Golf Resort have been designed in a way to introduce rough off the fairway which are managed to the highest standards by the green-keeping staff for play all year round. Holes 5 to 12 have a more traditional and natural presentation as they are on an environmentally sensitive area.
