Playing golf to the highest sustainability standards
As concerns and expectations of sustainability are growing in all walks of life, the golf community is no different, and it now looks to contribute more for the welfare of nature and communities – and for the good of the game. Weaving around ancient rivers and trees that have stood for generations, Ombria’s signature golf course has achieved the standards of golf’s most prestigious ecolabel certifications – the GEO Foundation’s certification.
Sustainability in practice
Ombria Algarve managed to carve out a golf course that is interwoven with the area’s native species and landscape. The project for Ombria’s golf course included a commitment to a 1:5.6 replanting policy site-wide, planting over 750 holm oaks, and maintaining 2 on-site plant nurseries, a greenhouse, and an organic farm. Additionally, Ombria Algarve has taken several measures to have a local positive impact by tracking fertility levels required for the site’s soil, implementing specific management and monitoring plans for water quality and drainage and protecting natural habitats of local rare and endangered species through the implementation of an environmental management plan for natural and semi-natural habitats.
Golf course features and etiquette
Ombria’s signature golf course is an 18-hole, par-71 course that offers a diverse and engaging playing experience, combining varied challenges with a unique natural setting. The course features a chipping green, putting green, buggy-only access with a fleet of 50 buggies, geofencing and dual communication systems, as well as established slope and course ratings. Tee times are scheduled at 10-minute intervals. Embrace the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship as you navigate the meticulously designed fairways and greens, while discovering the natural beauty that surrounds Ombria. To ensure an enjoyable experience for all golfers, we kindly ask players to familiarise themselves with our rules and regulations, helping maintain the high standards of play and respect that define our course.
