Eighteen holes skilfully
scattered
by an area of 620.000 m2, the Cima Course show themselves very
competitive
with dog-legs to the right and to the left and greens well protected by
sand hazards and lakes, particularly holes 16, 17 and 18.
A stream with
dams and permanent flowing water crosses holes 4, 5, 6 and 13. The
course
is bordered to the north by the National Road 125 and spreads to the
south,
where its limits are a municipal road that leads to the Ria Course.
The greens have been seeded
with Bent Crenshaw. Tees and fairways are covered with Zoysia.
In one of the Driving Ranges,
with generous dimensions and built in the south/north direction, when
hitting
from the northern tees, one may appreciate a magnificent view of the
mountains
as well as of the Ocean. But from any part of the course, both the sea
and the Algarvean mountains are a delight to anyone's eyes.
On the other Driving Range,
designed to practice with irons, there is the Robinson Golf Academy. It
comprises 3 greens and 6 tees to the teaching of the different types of
game with irons, namely how to get off a bunker to a green 120 m
distant.
Since there will be no real
estate construction on the site, the Cima Course is indeed a paradise
to
those golfers who love to be always in contact with nature.
