Played the Faldo numerous times before so I knew it was a great course and a really tough test from the White tees. Condition was pretty mixed to be honest. Some tee boxes were like second cut of rough when u put your tee into the ground it was barely above the grass and some of the teeing areas were tiny and extremely worn. Fairways were generally excellent. Bunkers were a real mixed bag, loads of rock hard ones with no chance of playing a proper bunker shot and then the odd one stacked full of powdery sand! Greens were decent, not overly fast but extremely pure and quite soft and spongy considering the fact it was 39 degrees whilst playing!

Not a bad little course for a 9 holer. I brought my son here as he’s a real beginner and based on everybody else playing there that day I’d say that’s what it caters for. But particularly cheap but to be fair it had 2 or 3 very nice holes on it and the greens were pretty decent. Friendly little clubhouse with reasonable prices bar/restaurant. Definitely not the place for serious golfers but good for what it is.

Early morning game at Palmares today playing holes 10-27. I would say that the layout and views on holes 10-18 were about as good as it gets! Absolutely stunning. The 19th-27th was average overall I’d say with a few good holes and a few really poor ones. This 9 was also pretty burnt out and after the first couple didn’t have much scenery really. Overall quality of the greens wasn’t great to be honest but tees and bunkers were excellent. Having not played the 1-9 holes it’s hard to say for certain but I’d imagine playing this course as 1-18 would be want u want to try and do as if they’re anything like holes 10-18 then despite the greens being a bit ropey I’d have given it 5* regardless
