Course in good condition but the greens were VERY slo
Jim Gillis
I absolutely believe this is one of the better mid grade courses in the Algarve. It is quite challenging, fun to play and requires some skill to put up a score. Playing with a good group of golfers all agreed that this was a bit of a hidden gem and exceptional value. The reception staff was courteous and efficient, and the restaurant/bar staff was very good with service and personality. The course itself was in very good condition with the greens being lush and a bit slow but running very true and smooth. Our whole group enjoyed their round and our Society will be booking here in the future for sure.
Rick Hewland
We all enjoyed the course.
The greens where a little slow and the holes had scruffy edges as though they hadn't been moved for a few days.
Other than that everything else was fine.
DAVID GREATHEAD
Course very quite and a joy to play. Greens in good order as we're the fairways. Very enjoyable test of golf.
Nick Jones
Lovely looking course but not knowing the layout made it too difficult for us 15 handicap players.
Joseph Fahy
Challenging opportunities for the good golfers amongst you but forgiving for army golfers. Greens were consistent but were a bit slow.
Michael Kähler
Wie immer interessanter Platz, nur der Zustand war heute nicht gut
Neil mccoll
Course was in good condition for the time of year , unfortunately having a buggy didn’t help as we had to keep to the cart paths as course was still wet.
The buggy had seen better days, brakes were poor and seat must have been left in the rain, as every time you sat down water came through the seams.
Marc Dellow
Very difficult course, conditions were extra difficult with strong winds. Unfortunately not one I would rush back to play. Club house and service was good course condition was good just very difficult course with a lot of hills and slopes to deal with.
Phil Kennis
Course was tough
Mr William Thompson
quite muddy in places and not as well conditioned as the rest. obviously winter weather contributed to this. interesting course and would play again
Nicki Harrison
Interesting course, lovely views, but didn't like their policy of 'No Buggys on the course' , when there are a lot of holes you cannot see where the fairway goes, and can't take buggy easily to check due to path edges.
Dean Ashton
Good day, difficult course but enjoyable

Angela McVeigh
The course is not in a great condition. We probably won’t play there again due to fact the fairways were over grown and maintenance of the course is not good.
Wolfgang Heck
Santo Antonio is a course still struggling with its history, however for all of us a ''must play'' course embedded in a challenging landscape.
Mark Boon
Well the course was very wet but they allowed us to play. They had not been able to get machinery out to prepare the course and it was annoying losing balls in the clover patches. But all in all we had a game of golf. People at the club were welcoming and helpful. We will be back in better conditions it’s a great quirky little course.
James Chapman
What a lovely , challenging course .
Ian Buchanan
Course was very wet several lost balls due to plugging. Staff were less than enthusiastic and the greens were below the general standard of greens at other courses in the area very slow and in need of attention.
On the plus side the views and layout are great.
Mark Boon
A lovely quirky little course. Some blind shots made it awkward but it was a good test of golf. We will definitely come back and try it again. Some great views and you can see the sea on the horizon from the clubhouse bar.
Michael Kaehler
Immer wieder schön hier zu spielen, das Layout ist herrlich, der Zustand leider nicht so schön.
Roger Moyse
Always a challenge ! little poor condition in places but excellent value compared to other courses.
Mark Punter
A challenging and at times unfair golf course. I last played this course 33 years ago. Some improvements made but some of the holes are just unplayable. The course was in reasonable condition and was value for money as the buggy was included.
David Allcard
Pressured by group behind to speed up despite taking 2 hours flat for 1st 9 holes. Spoiled round. Also, course a little tight.
Jim Gillis
Had a group of 25 avid golfers, most of which had never played the course prior to our outing. The general consensus was beautiful, scenic golf course and highly under rated in the Algarve. After hearng for years negative remarks from multiple sources which we feel were quite unwarranted, our group will be using this venue regularly going forward. The course itself was in better than fair condition and the service was top notch and well appreciated. This coupled with the price makes it a very attractive venue for Society golf.
Jon pinder
Superb picturesque challenging course. The staff made us feel very welcome.
Stefan Kobewka
Interesting, quirky and challenging, the course was a delight to play
Thomas Holley
Santo Antonio Golf, or Parque da Floresta, is like a giant playground for golfers, with courses like a roller coaster through the mountains. The fairways are mostly sloped, and you have to think carefully about where to place your ball. However, if you play calmly and thoughtfully, you can definitely bring a low round to the clubhouse. The condition of the course is rather below average for the Algarve, but certainly playable. The range is also just good for warming up...
The entire course, including the nice little clubhouse with its terrace and fantastic views, is showing its age and desperately needs new investment. Nevertheless, I love the course and will definitely come back.
Alan Magill
Our four-ball really enjoyed the course and suits all levels of golfers as our handicaps vary between 4 and 22, Good greens
Mr Ray Boyle
Good course but extremely windy when played
Rick Hewland
We arrived 1 hour before our tee time so we can use the practice facilities but they refused to allocate us our pre booked buggies until 20mins before our tee time. The practice area isn't within walking distance so we where unable to practise before our round.
Very disappointing.
Judy Walters
Beautiful course
Play was a little slow
Greens and fairways in good condition
Staff very helpful
Would play it again
Derek Mc Feely
Nice course but very windy.
Peter Watts
Good course. A long walk between holes and hilly.
Andrew Davies
Excellent welcome from the golf reception staff and great service from the bar staff. In between those the course is brutal. Made tougher due to the wind but though it is a challenging layout I was disappointed with the quality of the tees and greens.
DAVID GREATHEAD
Course in good condition. Ladies in front of us need etiquette lessons. Made round very slow, but still enjoyable experience.
Food very good in the 19th.
Roger Moyse
Always a pleasure. Very reasonably priced compated to other courses.
Nick Harbridge
Nice course with a great variety of holes. Course and greens in good condition
Chris Shepherd
Good experience????????????pleasant staff buggy ready. Hard but fair course.
David Houghton
Fuss free check-in, the course was very wet & bunkers largely unplayable after weeks of rain and a couple of the holes were very challenging, especially as it's not been possible mow the fairways with large patches of ball eating clover everywhere but the greens were great & the course layout really makes you think
Mr Ray Boyle
Perfect conditions for golf
ghislain penduff
Très joli golf
Dave Beauchamp
It’s a very tiring course due to several holes only having the buggies on the road but also you cannot get near the 16th hole so have to guess what clubs you need and carry them and then find out there is another club you need. Very strange. The rest of the course was very good
Jaap Schaap
Is a beautiful course, and well maintained.
Bert Ulrich
Brand new carts made it much easier to drivethis course. Lovely landscape, good greens
Colin Thaw
After visiting the Algarve on golf trips for more than 20 years, this was our first visit to Santo Antonio and we were all pleasantly surprised. The course was very interesting and provided awesome views of the surrounding countryside. We were glad to have rented buggies as there were some climbs. The back 9 provided a great choice of holes. Definitely worth a visit.
Michael Kähler
Immer wieder interessant dort zu spielen. Der Platzzustand ist nicht optimal, viele Kahlstellen auf den Fairs, Abschläge und Grüns sind auch suboptimal. Doch die ganze Topographie des Platzes, die Ausblicke entschädigen die Golfrunde. Daher immer wieder einmal im Jahr.
-**- Always interesting to play there. The condition of the course is not ideal, there are many bare patches on the fairways, tees and greens are also sub-optimal. But the whole topography of the course and the views make up for the round of golf. Therefore, once a year.
Roger Moyse
Lovely golf course in the mountains. In good condition.
debbie
It was good, but nobody informed us that it closed early until we checked in. For the tee time we booked it would not have been possible to complete 18 holes. Luckily we arrived early and there was space for us to tee off earlier. We just completed 18 holes, but the buggy guy was waiting for us looking at his watch. Our pace was determined by the group in front, so it was no a slow play issue.
Steven Curry
Staff very helpful and welcoming. Course in good condition and a really fair test of golf for all handicap levels.
Andy Davies
This is a tough golf course and one that it helps if you’ve played it before - we hadn’t !! There are lots of blind tee shots and when you add in the wind then it’s certainly a challenge.
Having said that it’s a lovely course with some great holes. Some of the greens don’t look good but they still play well.
Nice welcome when we arrived and good food and drinks post- round.
