The course layout, spanning 6,695m (approx. 7,300 yards) off the back tees, will represent a true test of golf for players of all levels. The first hole, a generous right-handed dogleg, heads north, setting up a spectacular combination of holes overlooking the lagoon (Lagoa de Obidos). The feature hole of the front nine is the 3rd, a 144m Par 3 off the yellow tees to an island green, with the stunning Obidos lagoon in the background. The second nine holes overlook the Atlantic Ocean. Six of the holes meander between an intricate ecosystem of lakes interconnected by cascading streams. The highlight of the back nine is the 18th, a 490m Par 5 off the yellow tees, with a panoramic over the back nine, the clubhouse and the Ocean beyond.
