Vilamoura Golf Holidays

Golf Courses

• San Lorenzo golf course

  

  One of the most stunning and challenging courses in Portugal, this is an absolute must as the course encompasses pine woods, lakes and holes alongside the stunning Ria Formosa nature reserve. High handicappers will enjoy the experience whereas the better players will no doubt wish to return to try …

• Oceanico - Vilamoura Old golf course

  

  The Old Course is the second oldest golf course in the Algarve and laid out by the great Frank Peninck and later remodelled by Martin Hawtree.  It’s long been the Algarve favourite and it’s easy to see why. A very attractive golf course with a variety of different holes you need a …

• Vila Sol golf course

  

  The original 18 holes of this lovely club were designed by Donald Steel back in 1991 and a further nine have recently been added. Any mix of the three loops offers a fair round and if you can avoid the pine, cork and almond trees as well as the water hazards (!) a good score is on the cards. Easy …

• Pinheiros Altos golf course

  

  Close to the Rio Formosa reserve, this Ronald Fream layout is an underplayed gem. Narrow, tree-lined fairways meander through the pretty terrain to the tricky greens. Good driving and approaches are well-rewarded and poor shots are fairly penalised. A welcoming clubhouse rounds off the day very …

• Quinta do Lago - Laranjal golf course

  

  Regularly used for PGA European events, the resort has acquired a great reputation and should be on your Algarve play list. The North course is slightly gentler than the South but runs in an anti-clockwise direction so the ability to draw the ball helps. There are a few lakes on both courses but the …

• Vale do Lobo Royal golf course

  

  Famous for the Par-three 16th hole over cliffs, the course has many other attributes and is a pleasant layout indeed. The many pine, olive and orange trees come into play on several holes and there are also a number of lakes to avoid. Originally designed by Sir Henry Cotton and updated a few years …

• Quinta do Lago - North golf course

  

  Quinta do Lago North course has two architects. William Mitchell designed holes 1 to 5 and 15 to 18 in 1974. These holes (as with the other course) share a unique character. The terrain is typical of the area: sandy and strewn with pine trees, heather, gorse and wild flowers. Holes 6 to 14 were …

• Quinta do Lago - South golf course

• Oceanico - O'Connor Jnr. golf course

  

  Designed by Christy O’Connor Jnr., this course complements the neighbouring Oceanico Faldo Course and also takes full advantage of being situated in a fertile valley. Its various water features, both lakes and watercourses that are spread throughout the entire course, demand accuracy and test …

• Oceanico - Laguna golf course

  

  A lovely contrast to many of the Algarve courses, Laguna is a coastal links to all intents and purposes and great phone.  Lots of bunkers and water comes into play but it’s a good layout and only punishes silly shots.  Come here to get your game back!

• Oceanico - Millennium golf course

  

  Arguably the best of the more recent designs, Millennium is tight and very pretty with some great short holes.  A lovely day’s golf needing every shot you’ve got.  

• Oceanico - Victoria golf course

  

  Water, water everywhere.  A big, modern course with wide fairways but lots of opportunities to say goodbye to your ball if you get sloppy.  Best to play safe or bail out to the large bunkers or take the risk and head for the pin on the greens but watch out as some greens are tiny.  A …

• Oceanico - Pinhal golf course

  

  Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Pinhal offers big greens and big fairways but rolling terrain and large bunkers put paid to poor shots.  A good course for strong drivers but the large greens only make truer “drive for show, putt for dough”.
