A stunning beautiful golf course in excellent condition, holes 13,14 &15 by the Atlantic coast were magnificent. Buggies were very basic with no GPS navigation,ice cooler or divot mix. They admitted lacking inventory of buggies as we had to wait 5 minutes before our tee time for them to come in from morning round to be used.
The restaurant food was outstanding with very friendly staff and great patio views.
Unfortunately there seems to be a serious management issue with slow pace of play. We waited for the group ahead to tee off on the front 9 holes as they had delays. To make it worse the pro shop put out a foursome to start on hole 10 as it was getting later in the day instead of starting on hole #1 . The foursome two groups ahead of us phoned the pro shop for the manager as there was now three foursomes waiting at the hole #11 tee blocks.They sent a martial/ranger out to investigate who was previously tending the bar buggy and he started getting mouthy and disrespectful to the golfers.I thought a brawl was going to break out and the two foursomes walked off the course back to the clubhouse with the martial. The group behind us quit after 9 holes as well as we never saw them again,it was a real fiasco. Seems like management is more concerned with the extra money squeezing in more players than a golfer having a pleasant experience. It was now great that the course opened up to us but we still caught up with the group of walkers put in three groups ahead of us by the 16th hole. With a 2:50 tee time we finished up at 8:30 p.m. The group ahead said their round was 6 1/2 hours the previous day.
As a golf course owner I feel they have to extend the tee times to a 15 minute spread for all the walkers or make buggies mandatory for that course to keep pace of play flowing as it should.

Love the course, it’s challenging & long but you can have a good round, most holes you have forgiveness, if your a beginner you will find the course challenging, it’s a long course, the course requires strategie planning on the tee blocks, your dealing with the ocean on the back nine which is absolutely stunning, you have to play the wind for sure, the course is well groomed and in great shape.

We have not played Praia Del Rey for 6 months, bearing in mind the amount of rainfall this area has experienced the course was in great condition. Clearly a lot of work has taken place to improve the Golf course. My only comment is that the Green Fees in this area of Portugal are becoming very expensive.
