Booked the Balaia GC using tee times, excellent service in the office located in Villmoura.
At the golf course Carlos provided us with the club rentals, golf balls and tees, first class service at the Balaia and enjoyed our 18 holes of golf. Brilliant day out and we will definitely be back playing again on this course. Highly recommend..... Thanks Brian Keenan

Nice compact golf course, but attendance by persons who do not follow the golf etiquette.

Receptionist and restaurant were OK. The course ( only par 3) is rather challenging. Now somewhat extra due to heavy rainfail the days before. Hole 2 is in need of some pruning at the narrow pass.

Course is well kept and has a couple of challenging holes. Great for improving your short game! Loved the 18 holes we played there as our first round on the Algarve.
