Pestana Alto Golf

Pestana Alto Golf sits above Alvor on the western Algarve, on a course that traces its roots to a design by Sir Henry Cotton, one of Britain's most celebrated golfers and course architects of the twentieth century. The layout makes the most of elevated ground, offering widespread views across Alvor estuary, the sea and the surrounding countryside. Cotton's design philosophy — challenge through intelligence rather than sheer length — is evident throughout, with cleverly placed bunkers and greens that reward precision. The course has been updated over the years while retaining its original character. For golfers who appreciate a course with genuine heritage, Pestana Alto stands apart from many of the more modern resort layouts in the area.
