The most significant element of the course is the WIND. From October to March Aliseo’s winds blow from south Sahara all the way to the island of Sal, giving the game a real challenge which will be memorable.

Viveiro golf & country Club is not only a golf course, it’s the realization of The Impossible in a very sustainable way.

Sal is a desert island, where rain and sweet water are simply not available, so that realizing a golf course seemed impossible. We are proud to have been able to prove everyone wrong.

The grass is placed only on game areas (greens and fairways), leaving space for the authentic island moonlike soil. Red, grey and brown soil create a decoration that links the game with the greenery around, offered mostly by palm trees, aloe vera and cactuses.

This design ensures a limited use of water and lows the impact of grass on a desert.

Also, the grass used is a special pasmpalum that could receive up to 70% of pure sea water.

In conclusion: the golf course has created jobs for the past 14 years, it has provided the island with a tropical forest, and it’s now a very important infrastructure for tourism, maintaining and preserving the environment.
