Aroeira tees off

ONE of Portugal's most iconic golfing venues – once known as the Wentworth of Lisbon –is being restored to its former glory by a new management group.
ORIZONTE took over management last summer of the 36-hole complex at Aroeira, the venue for the Portuguese Open in 1996 and 1997. At its heart are two courses created by Frank Pennick and Donald Steel.
Under the guidance of head greenkeeper Dirk Hoeven, ORIZONTE has initiated a series of measures to improve the playing facilities. While both courses are easily walked, cart paths are being renovated and the irrigation and pumping systems have been updated.
