Go to Lagoa and take the N125 West. When you come to Odiaxere turn left at the traffic lights and follow the signs for "GOLF" through the country lanes. Allow a good 30 minutes for the drive.

Thanks for info on building work, we were considering playing there this trip but may give it a miss until construction is finished.

How do you book your golf EMM, any tips re. best deals?

[EMM]

We use the golf shop in CVO plus we ring the courses and ask for the best deals.
Last summer our friend was quoted 95 euros/ person by Gramacho, we left it a few minutes and rang back asked for the best deal.
We got the twilight rate.
When its TOO expensive we just don,t play ( its usually too crowded then anyway and we cant stand 5hr rounds ),

Another tip we have beem given is to look for the deals that are based on accom ( in golf high season ). Even if you only use the room for one night ( and stay in your own place )the golf deal is often better than anything you can get as an independent golfer,

Thanks EMM.
