Golf in Portugal – Trade Circuit at Old Course in Vilamoura

Vilamoura Old Course

Trade Circuit at Old Course in Vilamoura

Trade Dom Pedro Circuit at the Old Course in Vilamoura, with a shot gun at 8:30 am in wonderful conditions. I made an interesting score, 37pt including 2 birdies and two blobs. I’m not a player hitting the ball too far but even so I got some greens in regulation and on the other holes some good chipping and good putting make the result. The greens were soft, very smooth and not overly fast and so it was a pleasure to play once again at the Old Course, one of the best golf courses in Portugal and which maintains an unshakeable prestige, precisely because of its wonderful design and which is challenging for all types of players. Dog legs, trees and bunkers oblige the player to place the ball precisely, in order to aspire to a good result, but it is a benefit to spend 4 hours playing that golf course, involved in nature.

There were several prizes, and the winner of the day was Jose Carlos Rodrigues with 43 pt, followed by João Miquelina 38pt and Alexandre Lopes da Cruz also with 38pt.

After 3 rounds the overall classification net is like this:
1st Rosangela Gois representing Tee Times Golf … 112pt
2nd Manuel di Pietro representing Catering Events … 111pt
3rd João Miquelina rep. Design Outlet Algarve … 107pt
4º Carlos Ferreira representing Tee Times Golf … 105 pt.

The last two tournaments to close the Dom Pedro Trade Circuit will be played at the prestigious Victoria golf course on 28th August and 27 November. Good luck to all.

Golf Holidays Breaks in Algarve

The Algarve, being the most southern province of Portugal, offers a semi-tropical climate, a cold winter and hot, but very pleasant summers, providing conditions for fantastic golf breaks all year round. There are 39 Golf Courses in the Algarve from west to east and almost all of them offer several options for multiple games, “golf packages”, where the player gets advantageous discounts. We have the example of dynamic packages that start from 2 or 3 rounds and offer an additional discount, such as the Vilamoura golf courses or the Amendoeira Resort. Vilamoura also offers Taylor made packages on its 5 golf courses, the traditional Old Course, the emblematic Victoria golf course and the popular Pinhal, Millennium and Laguna golf courses owned by the Dom Pedro group and therefore the options are many and with different types of discounts. A Group of 8 or more golfers have a free round for 1 player. Golf professionals also benefit from amenities and special conditions.

Quinta do Lago also offers combinations of 3, 5 or more rounds on its three golf courses, Laranjal, Quinta do Lago South and North, offering one free player in 16 and special conditions for the golf professionals.

Vale do Lobo on the two golf courses, Ocean and Royal also offer 1 free player in 8, a package of 3 rounds with 1 free round, excellent for those who want to play more than one round of golf at Vale do Lobo golf courses in the centre of the Algarve.

For the best golf holiday, we at Tee Times Golf Agency have around 60 golf packages to choose from all golf courses in the Algarve.

The most important areas of the Algarve for your golf holidays are Vilamoura, Vale do Lobo, Quinta do Lago, Lagos, Portimao Carvoeiro and Tavira, all of them have a set of very important Golf Courses such as Palmares, Boavista and Espiche, in Lagos.

Portimao has the legendary Penina Golf Course designed by Sir Henry Cotton and the excellent Morgado and Alamos Golf Courses, set in a peaceful environment at the foot of the Monchique mountains. The Morgado golf course, more demanding, recently home of the Portuguese Open and the Alamos golf course shorter but very demanding golf course in the short game, very wavy greens. Two good options in the region. In Carvoeiro, we have the Vale da Pinta & Gramacho golf courses and in Albufeira, the Salgados golf course is a lot of fun and not too far to the north after the highway, golf players can find the amazing Amendoeira Resort, Faldo and O´Connor golf courses and the popular Silves golf course.

In the Tavira area, in the eastern part of the Algarve, we have the best golf course in Portugal, and one of the best in Europe, the Monte Rei North golf course with the signature of Jack Nicklaus.

A little further south two excellent golf courses, Quinta da Ria & Quinta de Cima, plus the Benamor and Castro Marim golf courses, both very popular and pleasant to play and a course designed by the legendary Severiano Ballesteros that is Quinta do Vale, complement the golf offer in Tavira which is quite comprehensive and suitable for all types of players and provide also some great golf holidays in that part of the Algarve.
