Pines

Summary

Pines is a public 9-hole golf course in Faro, Algarve, Portugal, within the broader Europe golf landscape. The course follows a parkland layout, a style commonly associated with inland golf, tree-lined corridors, more sheltered playing conditions, and a routing that tends to reward placement from tee to green. It is attributed to Jorge Santana da Silva and traces its origins to 1992, details that place the property within an earlier generation of American course design and give it a profile consistent with many long-established courses of the same era.
