Bom Sucesso is a resort course with a spectacular back nine affording some amazing views and three of the best finishing holes in European golf.

The course was designed by Donald Steel, who has been named 4th most influential architect in the world by Golf Magazine. Steel has taken pains to ensure the layout has as natural a feel as possible with deep, gnarly-faced bunkers and rolling terrain.

The highlight of your round here will be the sublime 17th, which swings downhill right-to-left over ridges to a green with the Obidos Lagoon as a backdrop.

As a resort course, houses line some of the fairways, but they are generally located well above play on holes where the ball is gathered into the middle of the fairway.

The course is a test for any player off the back tees, but the forward tees eliminate any excessive carries and make it playable for all levels.

Facilities include a driving range, putting green, chipping area, and restaurant and bar.
