Monte Mayor
Monte Mayor Golf & Country Club: GOLF COURSE WAS CLOSED IN 2011, and acquired by a new owner (reputedly a Russian billionaire) in 2014. It is understood the course might reopen, but as of 2023 the course remains closed, with no restoration work started. Check current status before planning a visit.
[Original Where2Golf description]: A generally well-regarded golf course with several attractive features. This tree-lined and open parkland layout is well worth a visit and should provide an enjoyable and testing round.
Check with club (if and when it reopens).
Golf carts compulsory.
