A good part of the course is virtually an extension of the nature reserve of Ria Formosa Estuary with fairways that run alongside saltwater marshes and freshwater lagoons. This protected environment is the habitat of over 70 bird species, including herons, hoopoes, white storks, coots, black-winged stilts and the rare purple gallinule.
The Clubhouse offers pro-shop, lounge, bar and restaurant. A large terrace overlooks the driving range with the fairways of the first and tenth holes on either side. Instruction is available and a separate practice area is reserved for visiting professionals and their classes.
