Other Thoughts:
It's to my knowledge the first disc golf course in Portugal an that alone is exciting, hopefully it will help to grow the sport.
Unfortunately though, the sport is not very well known and thus the course not used very much. It was established in 2018 and by the time I visited (2019) parts of the turf teepads were overgrown by thistles. Not at all unplayable, but you get the impression it hasn't really picked off yet.
Also the trees are fairly freshly planted. I think in 10-20 years it could be a cool course with the trees being bigger obstacles and also providing some shade. I just hope the course will last til then and won't by completely overgrown by the time.
If I'd live in the area, I'd probably play there regularly, but being on vacation I figured I'd rather spend my vacation days on the beach than on this course.
