Stephen Richardson
Steve Richardson is the Golf Course Manager at Amendoeira Golf Resort and has been working with the company's development team for the past two years to bring the Nick Faldo and Christy O'Connor Championship Golf Courses into being. Steve's brief is to develop both courses into world class condition and to place Amendoeira at the very forefront of ''sunshine golf'' destinations. Steve has been in the Algarve for 20 years and has worked at several of its top resorts: Sheraton Pine Cliffs, Vilamoura, Penina and Quinta do Lago. Recently, he took a three-year sabbatical in the Caribbean after being invited, because of his international reputation, to develop 36 holes for the prestigious Sandy Lane Hotel, Barbados, designed by Tom Fazio. He now brings to the table more than 30 years top-line experience in the industry, drawing on that experience to bring about Oceânico's goal of creating a true brand-leading world-class golf resort at Amendoeira.
