Course Information.
A new course in the Lisbon area, which makes Aroeira a very special
centre for golfing enthusiasts, thanks to its two neighbouring courses
and its large practice area.
This course has a fairly different concept of golf from Aroeira I,
consisting of large fast greens, some of which are more than 700 mz
and are equipped with Penn Az grass.
"A much different challenge to it's sister course; the Aroiera
II makes use of a number of different hazards including 5 large lakes
"
Aroeira II is the first Portuguese golf course to use this type of
grass on it greens, which can be cut to a height of only 2 mm.
Despite the inviting nature of its greens, the course becomes increasingly
difficult as you move along.
Unlike the older course, the new course has bunkers on the fairways,
some of them in the Scottish style of pot bunkers.
But the sand traps are not the only obstacle that have to be taken
into account: because of the course's five large lakes, water is a fairly
constant hazard, particularly at the last nine holes.
