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.

Today was the second round of the Ladies VACS Trophy. Held on a lovely sunny day at Silves Golf course. The Course was in immaculate condition and the scoring was very close indeed.

The Winning individuals were Sue Williamson Carvoeiro Club with 38pts, Eileen Groves Serra De Monchique 38pts, Paulette Usher Ato 36pts, Annie Chapman Alto 36pts and Linda Grindley Vila Sol 35pts. The prizes were all Porches Pottery and everyone had a lovely afternoon. The next round is on 22nd February at Gramacho Club. Please let Lynn Cook if you wish to play.
Congratulations to Georrge and Lynn Cook on a fine display in yesterday's competition at Silves. They both played very well and putted beautifully eventually returning at score of 41points.
Congratulations to Paul Spallin on winning our first medal of the year. Paul had a pretty average front 9, including a 9! on the fifth hole. However Paul obviously does not subscribe to the adage "if at first you don't succeed - give up" as his back nine was played to only one over par!
