Friday, 05 March 2010 00:00

A new 18-hole golf course under development on the Alentejo Coast is being built to Ryder Cup specifications in a bid to host the event in 2018. Integrated within the Costa Terra resort complex, midway between Tróia and Sines, the project is expected to cost  30 million euros and will be a candidate for the Ryder Cup. The Ryder Cup is generally considered to be one of most important sporting events on the world calendar. The host will be announced sometime in 2011.
