Vale do Lobo Royal
Vale do Lobo Royal Golf Course is a beautiful par 72 championship golf course. Located in Vale do Lobo resort, set amidst the pine trees and featuring the most photographed golf hole in the world, the famous cliff-top carryover par3, Royal golf course is in tip-top condition, with impeccable greens and fairways and, although in a golf holiday resort, there's no shortage of space.The front nine of Royal golf course, starts with a short but narrow par 5 stroke 9, where your mission will be to avoid the bunkers to your left and right. The 6th hole, a par 4, is Roayal golf course's stroke 1, displaying a fairway bunker which you'll have to avoid by driving to the right. Laying up and relying on your short game to achieve par will be your best option when it comes to hitting that difficult second shot, to a green procted by water on is front- left side and a bunker behind. the 9th is quite a beautiful golf hole, scenic par 3, almost completely surrounded by water, make sure your tee shot lands softly.13th, another great golf hole par 4,hcp 2, with a elevated green surrounded by bunkers, deserve some respect. A long straight drive is needed, and the elevated green demands your best skills. Hole 16 will make you feel blessed for the scenery in front of you; you'll want to take a minute to enjoy the amazing view across the beautiful Vale do Lobo beach and then you get ready to take on obstacles such as the ravine and a big bunker to the green. Vale do Lobo Royal golf course is intergrated on a holiday resort that offers exclusive first-class leisure and sports facilities in the Algarve complemented by luxury real estate, hotels and restaurants, which come together to offer a unique and sought-after lifestyle.

Good course. Some iconic holes. In decent condition, but I have seen it better. Again there seemed to be too many people booked in. Round took 5 hours to complete.

A quality course and clubhouse facility but not including buggy before 12 noon is silly given everywhere else does and distances between some holes (we were relieved we had paid for the buggies). Also greens absolutely covered in pitch marks. Not exclusive to this course but I don’t understand why they don’t give every player a pitch mark repairer - especially considering the number of players who hire clubs out here and won’t have their usual equipment.
Also we played early and were told before teeing off that we could get food and drink from vending machines at 9th as cart would be unlikely to be on the course while we were playing. When we got there it contained 3 beers and a can of monster. Not exactly what we wanted

Played here last year and again this year, the course, staff and everything about this golf club is absolutely brilliant. The course is absolutely beautiful, and in excellent condition. Nothing was too much trouble from the reception staff, the starter and the bar and restaurant staff. Brilliant, we will return many times Im sure in the future. We played both courses this year, Ocean and Royal and we all agreed that these are the nicest 2 courses that we have played in Portugal. The Ocean course is brilliant but Wow the Royal course is something else.

The course as always was in excellent condition, the greens were in pristine condition. The pace of play became very slow from the 9th to the 13th holes and you were constantly waiting. Finally the course Marshall’s got to grips with it and had a word with the culprits which was a ladies 4 ball. They came and told us that they had spoken with them and the pace did pick up. Overall it was a very enjoyable round.
