Eighteen
holes skilfully scattered by an area of 620.000 m2, the Cima Course show themselves very competitive with dog-legs to the right
and to the left and greens well protected by sand hazards
and lakes, particularly holes 16, 17 and 18. A stream with
dams and permanent flowing water crosses holes 4, 5, 6 and
13. The course is bordered to the north by the National
Road 125 and spreads to the south, where its limits are
a municipal road that leads to the Ria
Course.
The greens have been seeded with Bent Crenshaw. Tees and
fairways are covered with Zoysia.
In one of the Driving Ranges,
with generous dimensions and built in the south/north direction,
when hitting from the northern tees, one may appreciate
a magnificent view of the mountains as well as of the Ocean.
But from any part of the course, both the sea and the Algarvean
mountains are a delight to anyone's eyes.
On the other Driving Range,
designed to practice with irons, there is the Robinson Golf
Academy. It comprises 3 greens and 6 tees to the teaching
of the different types of game with irons, namely how to
get off a bunker to a green 120 m distant.
Since there will be no real estate construction on the site,
the Cima Course is indeed a paradise to those golfers who love to be always
in contact with nature.
