Description:
Amarante Golf sits within the Quinta da Deveza, close to the historic town of Amarante, at 600 metres above sea level with the River Tâmega and the Marão mountains as a backdrop. Opened in 1997, the course was designed by the Portuguese architect Jorge Santana da Silva, who worked with the mountainous terrain rather than levelling it.
That terrain defines the round. Fairways run steeply up and down throughout, starting with a downhill par-5 1st and closing with a steep uphill par-5 18th. The par-5 12th demands a strong tee shot to clear a lake on the right, with out of bounds waiting on the left. With three par 5s, eight par 4s and seven par 3s, the course plays to a short par 68, but the elevation change means shot-making and club selection matter more than raw length. A buggy is strongly recommended given the terrain, and useful for anyone less mobile.
Four water hazards and consistently fast greens, most of them on the shorter side, round out the challenge. The clubhouse and restaurant have a reputation for a warm welcome. For golfers exploring northern Portugal who want mountain scenery and a genuinely different test from the coastal courses further south, Amarante is well worth the detour.
