Boavista is the home to a stunning Championship Course which was designed by Howard Swan. The course winds its way around some of the properties on the resort, firstly moving south towards the Atlantic Ocean before turning for home, with the final few holes flowing northwards. 

The course measures in at just shy of 6,750 yards from the back tees. Swan’s design sees the Championship Course at Boavista play through the natural vegetation of the land, with both the 6th and 8th holes seeing golfers hit over a ravine. The 6th is a par-3, measuring more than 210 yards from the back tees. There is a wall in front of the green that needs to be carried as well as the ravine. The ravine then comes into play again on the par-5 8th hole, which is the hardest hole on the front nine. 

That takes golfers to the 9th hole, which is the highest point on the course, and provides the perfect place for some incredible photo opportunities. The 14th is a stunning par-3, and plays more than 245 yards from the back tees. There are two lakes in your eye line - one in front and one to the right of the green. 15, 16 and 17 also feature water hazards, with the 17th being one of the more picturesque holes on the property. 

Along with the championship golf course, Boavista is also the home to some stunning practice facilities. Located at the northern end of the resort are the driving range and the short game area for players to hone their skills before taking to the course. 

The driving range has a row of matted tees at the very back, with a row of grass tees that can also be used in front of those. The range is wide and long to allow for golfers to hit full shots. There are three greens in use in the short game area, with three bunkers, putting green and a number of chipping areas as well.
