Oceanico.Faldo Golf Course Closed

[dodger]

regarding Pinta/Gramacho....I contacted them recently asking for a quote for 14 after 1pm in mid/late June when we are there....now they had on website a deal for 95euro for 2 including buggy,none of my guys like the buggies we all like to walk even when it is hot so I asked them surely they could do us a deal of say 40euro per man without buggy but no the reply came 'take it or leave it'.

I may be being plain stupid but to me I would want 14 x 40e and also the possible spin offs from these guys(ale,food afterwards and the inevitable shop purchases we always do).....am I missing something?Are these courses jam packed in mid June?

Why not take up the twilight offer , I think that this is only 30euros. But 47.50 is still a good deal when the rack rate is 90 Euros.

Sounds like a good deal Dodger. Take it & walk the course, you'll love it. Play well!

[dodger]

I have done the twighlight many times when there myself but unless you get the 1st couple of times from the 4pm start time you cant get around in daylight! Plus some guys won't as by the time you eat it is 10pm and not much time left for ales!

[EMM]

Depends what time you play,

Only once have we not finished, that was in september , we got to the 16th ( 4ball ) and that was with an after 5pm start.

They do use the first and 10 tees if it gets busy.

Add to my list of non reply to emails asking for green fee details for our party of 14 Pinta and Gramacho.........I have now sent in total (to the advertised contact details and also other email addresses) 12 emails and no reply from any!!

Words fail me.

I have received the following from the management of the Oceânico Group for your information;

Dear Mr Jakobsen,

We read with interest the content on your website, Carvoeiro.com and offer our congratulations and support for what is an excellent resource for those with an interest in the area.

The forum section of the site has contained quite a number of postings regarding our Amendoeira Golf Resort with particular reference to the cost of golf and, as an aside, the financial position of the Oceânico Group. With regard to the former we make no specific comment beyond supporting the fact that each and everyone is entitled to express their opinion in whatever manner they see fit. Regarding the latter, we are of course in a position to state the facts, and I attach for your information an article that appears in the current version of Essential Magazine that contains a variety of information concerning Amendoeira and the Oceânico Group as a whole. I do hope you will find it of interest and trust it will help to counter some of the plainly incorrect and at times libellous comment to which we have been subjected of late on the internet. It is pleasing to report that the group continues to thrive - even in these more challenging financial times, and we are looking forward to bringing a great many more visitors to the area with in excess of 200 properties completing at Amendoeira this year.

In conclusion we wish you continued success with the website and hope that our ongoing investment in the area will help to further the attractions and facilities available to the local community and visitors alike.

Please find the Essential Magazine article attached to this post.

Have read the report and looking at the two guys they certainly do not look as though they were short of a bob or two!!!
Did not appreciate their comments to members of this site in regardsto libelous comments etc, perhaps they do have more to hide ,then where they send there offshore accounts!!!!!!
It would of been nice if they referenced to the guys that were looking for a good deal, as 14 people is a good number rather than just a few. and as they said, they could do without the tees, water etc and thats something coming from a non golfer as those that know me will know. So they prefered to ignore that one, to give them some much needed revenue.
We did look into one of there property deals a while ago and following it up on our return to the UK, with certain contacts I have in the city we declined a purchase. Whether or not we made the right descision I will not comment, especially as they seem to be so keen to make strong comments of their own, to our beloved leader!!

[dodger]

Blah blah blah bla blah.....you still havn't replied to any of my email and neither have Pestana ....now none of that statement is 'incorrect and at times libellous'!!!!!!!!!!

[SJ & RE]

We will see Dodger, if they ever get back to you and with my criptic comment also
