Praia D’El Rey is arguably the most stunning golf course in Europe. It’s set among extensive pine forests and undulating dunes, with spectacular views over the Atlantic and the Berlenga Islands beyond. Deep bunkers, sloping greens and sandy dunes contrast sharply with the lush fairways making it the complete golfing challenge. Praia D'El Rey is rated amongst the top golf courses in Europe by Golf World magazine and is one of the major golfing destinations for both private and sponsored events.|Praia D’El Rey is a mixture of seaside links and parkland holes with a par of 72, offering the golfer a unique experience during their round. Players are required to have a valid golf handicap certificate. Minimum handicap requirements are: men 28, ladies 36.

nice looking course, in good condition with a good variety of holes. Unfortunately, they run tee times every 11 mins (not in itself a fatal error), but from the 1st and 10th tee at the same time. THis leads to ridiculous queues at various places around the golf course and rounds that easily top 5 1/2 hours. This has to change as it leaves many angry people in what could be a very pleasant environment.

very nice course but maybe avlittle bit overbooked or maybe the marshall should be more present. But overall 9/10

Have played PDR a number of times.
Always enjoy the experience , this time we played with a pair who had never played it before and actually realised signage is poor on course.
Thought the greens weren't up to usual standards, pock marked and hairy.
Big problem was pace of play. I know it is busy but no rangers on course keeping it moving, we were waiting on every hole....
Not much point in giving us a tracker...gave no indication as to our pace as that was entirely predicated on the people in front of us or actually the group in front of them .
Having said all that - we will of course go back!

Fairways like carpets greens that were quick and true coupled with fantastic ocean views. A treat.

Kind staff, great quality of the course, awesome views, fast and true greens, but slow play (>5h).

We've played Praia del Rey several times now and always enjoy the course layout and variety of holes with superb views from the holes by the ocean. While most of the holes are playable for all levels of golfers there are a few holes which are very/too challenging. For example, the par 3 eleventh was 180 yards uphill with no bail out left or right of the green and a huge slope from back to front making 3 and even 4 putts a distinct possibility - too difficult even for a single handicap player. The fairways were very wet when we played it on 2nd Nov making the course extremely long so suggest you take this into consideration when selecting the tees to play from.
Overall, a very enjoyable game with breath taking views from several of the holes and very good value for money.

Great course. Underated against the top Algarve courses. Parkland front 9 leading to a more exposed links like back 9.

Excellent day of golf, having a well maintained but challenging golf course almost to ourselves. We were joined by a local member whose insights added to the pleasure of playing there.
