Jackie Robinson
Excellent game of golf and unhurried by any one in front or behind
Mr William Thompson
great course and facilities. difficult and unforgiving course - bring balls!
Theo van der Werf
Great value for money
Paul Gray
Excellent course and service.
Helena Mattsson
Absolutely fantastic golf course!!!
Roland Alistair Harrison
It's in fantastic condition, Fairways &Greens immaculate though I would say in my opinion it's not for those with a higher Hcap.if you don't keep yr ball on Fairways you'll loose it resulting in a penalty on a number of occasions.
But a very nice course/test.
Seon Scott
Beautiful Golf Course. Excellent condition. very tight fairways! Clubhouse beautiful and the staff were very welcoming and helpful.
Jens Fankhaenel
good experience with good company… will come back here as the course plays harder than it seems and does provide for a great challenge. Only downside that the restaurant closed so early that we did not get a chance for dinner after the round.
Martina Urban
We really like to play this course. All the people are very friendly and helpful.
Sadly, the driving range was closed. At hole no 1 there was a long queue of people waiting for the start. But afterwards on the course the waiting time was ok.
It's worth to make afterwards a stop at the restaurant, the sandwiches are excellent.
David Allcard
Nice course and clubhouse.
Martina Urban
The course is beautiful, but the pace of play terrible. We needed 5 hours for 18 holes, because we had to wait at every hole!!
John Walker
Challenging course, nice facilities
Barb Finney
We enjoyed playing the course, greens and fairways were in great shape. Lots of hills and elevated greens whoch make it abit more challenging but overall good experience!
NIck Medlam
Course in excellent condition.
Staff all very helpful.
Enjoyed round untroubled by delays of other golfers.
Patrick Shane Meharg
Out of the 5 courses we played, this was the least popular. On the positive side, the greens were the best we played, the lay out is also to be commended. On the downside however is the feeling that many good shots were penalised with balls often running into an unplayable position, or simply lost. Nobody expects bad shots not to be punished, but to hit fairways only to lose your ball felt unfair. I would also suggest that for high handicappers, this is not the best course to play.
Paul Gray
Excellent course. My wife and I teed off first but when we got to the 10th hole a four ball were teeing off.
Patrick Wehmeier
Excellent course, and very helpful staff in Pro Shop
Thomas Holley
A challenging round through wide valleys in the backcountry of Lagos. The fairways are bone dry, and the balls bounce heavily downhill—be careful. The tee boxes and greens were in very good condition. Unfortunately, this course was also very crowded, which resulted in a round time of 5 hours 15 minutes. The fact that the kitchen was closed for almost an hour after our extremely long round was absolutely unacceptable and unfortunately put a bad aftertaste on the day.
Andrew Butler
Our group thought Espiche was one of the best courses they have played. Will definitely play there again.
Stephen Wardale
Pristine golf course. Some very difficult holes with sloping fairways but very enjoyable.
Mr Ray Boyle
Excellent course in prime condition
Rick Hewland
A Slow round but the course was very good.
Olav Burmester
Wunderschöner Golfplatz, spielen immer wieder gerne seit Eröffnung der Anlage .
R.B.H. Hesling
Five hours for 18 holes, no comment, a disaster!
That was our last round on Espiche, we don‘t want to play here anymore.
Andrew Davies
Very nice welcome at the golf reception followed by a tough 18 holes in windy conditions. Course is in great condition with excellent greens. Lovely post round drink and bite to eat with great service.
Nelson Gusmao
Espiche Golf
A beautiful, challenging course, beautifully set in nature, and well-maintained, for "true golfers," where game strategy is crucial, and affordable with exceptional service. Our Rating= 5 ***** by Beirões Golfe
bigkim
all hole were blind hole.
we easily lost ball eventhouh good shot. there are no yardage book.
Pat Wallace
Challenging course but greens and course condition. You need to be prepared to loose a few balls !!
stuart smith
Excellent service, simple process, great rates. Perfect way to book. Many thanks
Adrian Erasmus
Really tough course due to narrow fairways and unforgiving rough. Still a good experience.
Roger Moyse
Challenging course. Take plenty of spare balls....
Cyril Joyce
A fine course with helpful and friendly staff. However in my opinion it is more suited to lower handicap golfers ie <10, as any errant shot is generally lost.
Perhaps the club would allow used golf ball sales on the course as this would ease the pain of so many lost balls. We had a particularly tough day as it was very windy.
Cyril Joyce
Would suggest only single figure hamdicapers should take on this challenge.paryif there is wind.
Andrew Ward
Pleasant lunch beforehand and great views. Tricky course with quite a few blind holes. High winds made scoring difficult. Very friendly clubhouse staff. I would return again.
Eric Deprey
Difficult but nice
Mark Dunlop
tricky course , fairway goes straight to scrub and bushes - lost ball , greens average but good layout
Jon Cofield
A challenging course which has narrower fairways than most courses in the area. It is a well designed course with a nice clubhouse. It was let down by the disappointing greens which were bumpy and inconsistent and some fairways were bare otherwise it would have scored higher than a 6/10. Accuracy and course management is the key.
David Houghton
Very welcoming club with great buzz in the bar/restaurant, course was in great shape considering the weeks of rain and the layout is excellent & so peaceful up in the hills, greens ran true enough but looked a little bare
Doris
The course is a little bit boring not at all challenging. It is only up and down. Maintenance is ok. Staff is extremely friendly, the food in the restaurant was excellent.
Jason Walker
Personally I didnt have a good day
Adrian Brooks
Lovely and hospitable course as usual. Course in great nick. Grass either side of fairways cut far too short on some of the sloping holes penalising good shots. But very enjoyable.
Kjetil Larsen
Nice clubhouse, friendly staff and great layout of the course. The course conditions however, were not the best with bumpy and uneven greens and lots of ground under repair in the general area. The bunkers were good with new sand and they were well raked, though.
Norma askew
Course was in average condition compared with previous years
Paul Gray
A lovely golf course with friendly staff.
Dave Beauchamp
The whole experience was brilliant
Frank Haidinger
Driving Range is closed. (Small) Short game area and putting green are open. Tee boxes are hard, sometimes difficult to set a tee. Currently the fairways are dry and hard. Several small spots on the fairways with maintenance activities for improving the watering system. Greens are in good condition, hard and fast. With the current conditions of the fairways the course is not forgiving.
Overall, most of the fairways are narrow and the greens small.
Jon Pinder
Fantastic course, in superb condition. Some very challenging holes! Fantastic clubhouse with views over the course
Des Rushe
Some quirky tee shot blind holes where it is nearly impossible to stay on fairway with a good drive.
Michael Heywood
Very friendly welcome, beautiful course (challenging at times due to unexpected run offs) but spoiled by very slow play (5 hour round) and rude group behind us. Would you walk onto your next tee (man to yellow, lady to red) and talk on your mobile phone while the previous players (us) were waiting to tee off? They did. Appalling.
Klaus Fuchs
Trotz der vorherigen Regenfälle war der Platz in einem hervorragenden Zustand und konnte problemlos mit Buggy bewältigt werden.
Auch die natürliche Umgebung war bemerkenswert, nicht aber die Spielzeit von deutlich über 5 Stunden für uns als 4er Flight. Man wünscht sich schon einen
engagierten Marshall, wenn der vorherige Flight bei gefühlt jeder 2 Bahn. geschlossen im Unterholz verschwindet, um einen Ball zu suchen - natürlich ohne Schläger,
dem man sich dann noch einmal auf den Weg macht.... Trotzdem, diesen Platz werden wir sicher auch in Zukunft spielen.
-**- Despite the previous rainfall, the course was in excellent condition and could easily be mastered with a buggy.
The natural surroundings were also remarkable, but not the playing time of well over 5 hours for us as a flight of 4. You really wish you had a
dedicated marshal when the previous flight disappears into the undergrowth at what felt like every 2nd hole to look for a ball - without a club, of course,
which you then set off again.... Nevertheless, we will certainly continue to play this course in the future.
Bert Ulrich
Friendly staff, great course, medium weather
Roald de Groot
Busy course fully booked, stuffed to the brim. No flow, had to wait at least 5 min on every hole and were not able to play the 18th due to the darkness
Stephen Copley
Always a challenging course , but a good round for most of it made it probably our best trip to this course which we would normally avoid !!!!!
Edwin Weteling
Nice layout in beautiful landscape but very hard to play due to thick bushes in the rough. Hitting fairways is crucial to make a good score.
Josey
A very challenging course where quality straight shot are rewarded. Distance is not a requirement but accuracy is. Restaurant was passable but would recommend other places to eat. Clubhouse is very nice, clean and the staff was excellent.
Vilnis Butkevics
Great golf course, chalenging greens, fair approach shots. Don't go into the rough because there isn't any. You're in the bushes
Paul Gray
Excellent service and a great golf course.
Glynn Roebuck
Another great course in fantastic condition. We’ve all thoroughly enjoyed everything.
Thanks for all your work.
Chris Robertson
All good - easy to deal with and course in great condition esp the greens
Sarah Baker
Best course we played.. don’t miss the fairways or you’re in the gorse..friendly staff very professional set up.. beautiful views.. can’t wait to return
Michael Kähler
Wir haben wegen Starkregen unsere gebuchte Runde auf den 21.10. verschieben können. Es hat sich wieder gelohnt. Guter Platz mit erhöhtem Clubhaus, man hat einen schönen Rundblick in die Umgebung. Der Platz spielt sich zügig, manchmal verliert man einen guten Ball in den Dornenbüschen. Die Grüns waren recht schnell und spurtreu. Die Wege zu den nächsten Abschläge sind recht weit, daher ist ein Buggy empfehlenswert. Immer gerne wieder ! -**- Due to heavy rain, we were able to postpone our booked tour to 21 October. It was worth it again. Good course with an elevated clubhouse, you have a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding area. The course plays quickly, sometimes you lose a good ball in the thorn bushes. The greens were quite fast and true to line. The distances to the next tees are quite long, so a buggy is recommended. Always happy to play again!
Graham Cookson
Good condition, greens very good. Pace of play better than the 18/10/24
Charles Valade
Rained out and didn’t play it.
John Redmond
Course in good condition. Very helpful staff.
Graham Cookson
Course was in great condition and very enjoyable to play but needs active marshalling. The 10th tee had 7 groups on so either extra groups had been let out at 10 or a group had gone off the course for a drink/food. Either way this led to a lengthy delay for everyone who followed.
Andrew Dickinson
Lads love it they wish we had booked another round there .
Henk van Tunen
Het is en blijft een moeilijke baan om te spelen, maar hij ligt er fantastisch bij!
Wat positief stemt is verder, dat je ziet dat er geïnvesteerd wordt.
Niet alleen opnieuw in de wegen er naar toe, maar ook in de baan. -**- It is and remains a difficult course to play, but it looks fantastic!
What is also positive is that you see that investments are being made.
Not only again in the roads leading to it, but also in the course.
Steve Curry
This course was in excellent condition with the greens being exceptional. Probably as good a greens I’ve ever played on. Very quick and very true. Difficult test of golf however due to some blind shots. Also a real pity we played behind two 5 balls using 3 buggies. Round was painfully slow and really spoilt the experience to be honest. Pity the course management allow this to happen. And my rating Will unfortunately rate my experience rather than the actual good quality of the course condition.
Eamonn Ryan
Espiche is a challenging course, but it was an enjoyable experience and we will go back!
Jo Maddams
It was a mad scramble for a buggy but we got one just before our tee time
Michael
What a challenging course. Fantastic greens. The fairways bounded by dense foliage could be more generous. Pack plenty of balls
John Carroll
Improving golf course in good condition, including fairways,greens and bunkers. Condition of tees should be better. Excellent clubhouse and facilities.
Desmond Finnegan
Challenging course with narrow fairways and a nice flight
Andrew Ward
Course in good condition, greens very interesting. Quite tight off the tee. Pleasant and helpful staff, restaurant and bar staff and service good.
Mark Thomson
Really good course, albeit very difficult given recent conditions.
Brian
Course in excellent condition and quite quiet so we were round in 3-45. Course would be great except for a few unfair holes!
Olav Burmester
Wie immer alles super. -**- As always, everything is great.
Andy Davies
Excellent course with superb greens. Some tough holes to deal with but overall a great test.
Very nice welcome on the golf reception and excellent food and drinks post round.
Julie Fisk
A very unrewarding course, especially in a howling gale! Lovely clubhouse.
Ian Beattie
Espiche was good, maybe need to play it again, as there is a few holes where local knowledge would have hepled
Wayne Baber
Enjoyable but tough course.
Great condition and beautiful clubhouse.
JULIAN REDDING
Nice course but had an altercation with a player. Also, stuck behind a 4-ball who blatently didn't understand about letting people through if they are looking for their balls. No marshall on the course to manage this.
PATRICK O SHEA
Lovely challenging course in beautiful setting. Easily punished if tee shots were wayward. Greens had been sanded & spiked & so meant putting was difficult. Fantastic clubhouse & food.
Nick Boyce
|Fantastic setting and clubhouse and amazing facilities. Really tough course and not very forgiving. Would play again now I know the course a bit better.
Michael
Fantastic Greens but the design of the course requires too much accuracy for a regular golfer as 10 and 17 handicappers I wouldn't expect to lose 12 balls between us.
Sonja Weddemar
Sehr schöner Platz, exzellente Grüns! Ruhiger Platz ohne Wartezeiten. Man muss aber unbedingt auf den Fairways liegen, ansonsten verschwindet jeder Ball in Hecken und Gebüschen. Beim 1. SPIEL mind. 8 Bälle weg.
Komme sehr gerne wieder - toller Platz!!! Gastronomie auch sehr gut - nur kein Steak bestellen! (Zäh) Burger und Risotto sehr zu empfehlen. -**- Very nice course, excellent greens! Quiet course with no waiting times. But you have to lie on the fairways, otherwise every ball disappears into hedges and bushes. At least 8 balls gone on the 1st GAME.
Would love to come back - great course!!! Catering also very good - just don't order a steak! (Tough) Burgers and risotto highly recommended.
Ian Godfrey
Very challenging course but enjoyable. The clubhouse is really nice and the only downside is the distance from Vilamoura so a tee time of no later than 11.30 is essential.
Robert Schneider
The course is dry and the fairways are very sloped so a good drive may end up in the rough or worse. The greens were in good shape.
Michael Webber
Overall in pretty good condition. Friendly staff and good service. Greens not perfect, but perfect for the price.
Graham Cookson
Club selection and being straight is a must for Espiche, course and greens in good condition.
Paul Kilburn
Best course of the trip but very difficult, keep the driver in the bag
Cathy Proto
Strong winds when played today made some holes pretty challenging but enjoyed the well-maintained course - the greens were in excellent condition.
Frank Haidinger
Course is good condition. Driving Range is in bad condition, sand with some grass in between. Short game area is ok. Good restaurant, but waiters sometimes slow.
Cyril Joyce
Well maintained with very wide fairways but if you do miss them you will lose balls!
Nigel Lander
Unfortunately Espiche had no buggy’s, as they were all booked out. The course was interesting but with some punishing cross sloops which swing even a good shot into trouble. Its certainly a course you need to play a few times understand the lines. Also they need water. It’s dry as a bone already.
From the works around the course they are putting in new irrigation, reclaimed treated I would guess. I think I will wait until this is working before I return but it is a good test, insane in places but a good test. ( I thought the days of 300 + yard drives were gone but no a 540 yard par 5 was reduced to a drive and 7 iron uphill.).
Ian Godfrey
With Espiche being an hours drive from Vilamoura the teetime of 1.20 pm was to late. The pace was slow and as the course is challenging with people were looking for balls. By the 11th hole we realised we would not be finished until around 6.30pm and decided to quit. I would like to play Espiche again but it would need to be a teetime of between 11 and not later than 12. Also a shortage of buggies caused problems for some players.
Nicolas Diemert
Nidia is extremely professional and very efficient ! She did an amazing job organizing our golf trip !!!
Kevin Henley
Tougher course but still enjoyable, breakfast good - got absolutely soaked on back nine so didnt hang around afterwards and drip everywhere !
We will be back, in fact already booked October and plans for November too
Neil Rodgerson
Great layout. Still need to let the semi rough grow to stop balls running in to trees/ scrub. Can be very unfair. Will speed play up massively
Petteri Salminen
A beautiful course and it is walkable one. Everything in good order and the staff very friendly
Petteri Salminen
Nice and challenging course. Some blind spots so easy to loose the ball when not familiar with the course.
Howard Lonsdale
Greens not at there best.
The course is very difficult for high handicap golfers.
Raymond Günther
Abgelegener Platz, mit ein paar unübersichtlichen Bahnen, mit stärkerem Wind ist er sehr schwer zu spielen. Ist zu Fuß noch gut zu schaffen. -**- Remote course, with a few unclear holes, very difficult to play in stronger winds. Still easy to manage on foot.
