Sustainability and world-class golf go hand in hand at Camiral Golf & Wellness, named ‘International Environmental Golf Club of the Year’.Sustainability and world-class golf go hand in hand at Camiral Golf & Wellness, named ‘International Environmental Golf Club of the Year’ at the Golf Environment Awards (GEAs) 2025, organised by STRI Group. This prestigious accolade recognises the resort’s commitment to environmental management, conservation, and responsible resource use, as the excellent news platform My Golf Way explained in a recent article. At the awards ceremony, Ferrán Palau, Director of Golf Operations at Camiral Golf & Wellness, received the trophy from Daniel Lightfoot, Director of Sustainable Golf at The R&A, marking another milestone in the resort’s long-standing dedication to sustainability.

For over 25 years, Camiral Golf & Wellness has been at the forefront of sustainable golf, implementing groundbreaking initiatives that have significantly reduced its environmental impact. The resort uses 100% recycled water across its courses and facilities, eliminating over 70,000 plastic bottles annually. Through an on-site power plant and 316 solar panels, it has cut more than 362 tons of CO₂ emissions annually. In collaboration with expert biologists, Camiral has restored and cultivated a thriving natural ecosystem, ensuring native plant and animal species have a safe and sustainable habitat.

In addition to these efforts, Camiral Golf & Wellness has recently introduced a significant upgrade to its Stadium Course, incorporating sustainable turfgrass varieties such as Bermuda Celebration and Paspalum. This change is set to reduce water consumption by 35% while minimising the need for chemical treatments on the fairways. The resort has also invested in a new fleet of electric Club Car golf buggies, reinforcing its commitment to lowering its carbon footprint without compromising on the high-quality golf experience that players expect.

Flavio Papa, Director of Golf at Camiral, emphasised the importance of this recognition, stating that winning this award is a testament to the resort’s unwavering commitment to sustainability.

Greens Rolling Perfectly: Experience Dom Pedro Laguna Golf Course Like Never Before

Golfers searching for a fantastic course in Vilamoura should look no further than Dom Pedro Laguna Golf Course. The greens have never been better, offering an immaculate playing surface that enhances the golf experience. Carlos Ferreira, CEO and founder of Tee Times Golf Agency, recently had the opportunity to play a round at Laguna and witness firsthand the remarkable condition of the greens. His verdict? “The stigma about Laguna’s greens is over. They are rolling perfectly and look better than ever.”

Two years ago, the greens underwent a complete renovation, aiming to elevate the quality of play. However, last year’s harsh winter conditions took a toll, leaving the greens in less-than-ideal shape. But those challenges are now a thing of the past. With dedicated maintenance and expert care, the greens have reached a level of perfection never seen before at Laguna. While they are not lightning-fast, the ball rolls exceptionally well, providing a smooth and fair test for all golfers.

Laguna Golf Course: A Unique Challenge in Vilamoura

Designed by renowned American architect Joseph Lee, Laguna Golf Course sets itself apart from other Dom Pedro Hotels & Golf Collection courses. With its links-style characteristics, numerous water hazards, and open fairways, Laguna delivers a dynamic and strategic round of golf. Unlike the tree-lined courses of Vilamoura, Laguna embraces coastal influences, making it a unique and engaging challenge for players of all levels.

Adding to its appeal, Laguna shares a welcoming clubhouse with the neighbouring Millennium Golf Course, making it an excellent venue for golfers exploring more of Vilamoura’s world-class golfing landscape.
