The Els Club Vilamoura (ex Victoria Golf Course)

The Els Club Vilamoura brings an entirely new level of golf to the Algarve. Built on the site of the former Victoria Golf Course, the club has been completely transformed into a championship layout by the legendary Ernie Els. While the course operates with members-only exclusivity, a limited number of tee times are available for non-members staying at the nearby Victoria Hotel for a minimum of three nights.

For almost twenty years the Victoria Golf Course stood out as one of the Algarve’s most recognisable courses. The original course was designed by Arnold Palmer and was home to the Portugal Masters from 2007 to 2022.

Reshaped from the ground up, the course features innovative design elements, upgraded facilities, and premium playing conditions. Looking ahead, it will host the PGA Tour Champions in 2026, a testament to its world-class quality and the exceptional experience it offers every player who steps onto these fairways.
