Serra de Monchique Golf Club is the club associated with Silves Golf Course. The club aims to provide competitions, control handicaps and to provide a social life for its members guided by the values statements authorised by the membership. Its rules are set up to provide a structure around which the club can be run.
Serra de Monchique Golf Club was formed in 2005, at Morgado de Reguengo when the regular players were invited to form a club. There were 30 founder members and the first General Meeting of the membership was held on 8th November 2005. At the end of 2006 the club moved to Silves Course, which had just opened. Mark Ellerton was appointed Captain for 2007. Pestana's very favourable terms of green fee arrangements led to an substantial increase in membership in 2008. Many Northern European countries are represented, including a number of Portuguese members.
The club plays competitions on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Tuesdays are for singles competitions either as Monthly medal or Stableford Qualifier. On Thursdays some members play at Silves in a format of their own choice, but many members elect to play on the other courses within the Pestana group. On Saturdays there is a wide variety of game formats, normally as team competitions as pairs or teams of four players. There are occasional qualifying competitions on Saturdays to suit our members who are in full time employment. Our eventlist will show these.

Congratulations to Kicki Rask, who has only been a member for a few months, who won the medal and to Bob Coe who was best of the men, I was not there, as I spent the morning by a nice warm fire, trying to sort out the competitions for the next two Saturdays - but I could see the weather was not that great for golf, certainly in Carvoeiro!
Another glorious Algarvean autumn day and a course in fabulous condition saw a host of low scores in this months medal. Nearly a third of the field bettered or played to their handicap, this must be a record for what is normally a tough competition. This months winner was Karen Huxtable.
On a day when the weather looked liked being the Winner Eileen Groves battled against a very wet silves course to pip Alan Winstanley to the medal winners shirt.

In fantastic weather the first round saw two clear leaders. In front with a fabulous 73 is Damir Babikov, who as defending Champion, has laid down a great foundation to retain his title.
