Vila
Sol sprang to fame by hosting the 1992 Portuguese Open only
eight months after its official opening - a magnificent achievement.
Ronan Rafferty won the tournament with a breathtaking 40 foot
birdie putt. Anders Forsbrand, who was the runner-up was only
able to look on in amazement.
The greens are pristine and run true provided one takes sufficient
care to read them properly. The course is one of the best
kept in the Algarve.Although perhaps not the most imaginative
course, it redeems itself with tight, testing holes requiring
accurate long irons into the greens.
