1999 ORIENT-EXPRESS HOTELS
AMATEUR GOLF CHALLENGE

Event Programme

 

The 1999 Amateur Golf Challenge gives you the chance to play on some of Europe's finest golf courses, located on the breathtaking coast of the Algarve. For 5 days, you will be able to pit your wits against other competitors on the greens of the championship standard course within the Quinta do Lago estate.

The tournament is an individual stableford and will be run by the rules of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews.
