Vila Sol Golf Course - latest comments and reviews

James Bradley 2025-09-22
Very enjoyable course. Everything went well. Thanks

Cliff Morgan 2025-09-19
Superb challenge, but yet again a 5 hour+ round. ???? Quality back up there, after a few years of maintenance issues, back to being a really a top course.

Simon Reece 2025-09-19
Great course, not quite as well maintained as some of the other courses in the area. We teed off at 1.39 and had to queue for 45 mins for our buggies, so missed out on the range and putting green. Good clubhouse and terrace overlooking the 18th. Fabulous Bobby Robson tributes.

Martin Punch 2025-09-16
Excellent Course in great condition and one of the best value for money courses in the Vilamoura area which in my opinion have increased too high over the past few years. One recommendation is course Marshall should be more noticeable on the Course to keep pace of play in some shape. Some golfers should know when to pick the ball up and not hit a maximum of 10 on a hole.

Lewis Jones 2025-09-15
Course was great. Layout was enjoyable, however it was challenging. Very very slow. Over 5+ hours for 18 hours with buggies. Every hole had 3 groups on. One of our group left a wedge on a green and it was not handed in which was disappointing.

Tony PELL 2025-09-09
Well managed booking with good organisation with starters despite a group of 6 (!) in front of us? They were obviously briefed not to putt out as they didn’t cause a delay. Course in very good condition but so expensive these days. Could you not do a cheaper rate for house owners in the Algarve or Pestana card holders? We are regular visitors to Dunas Douradas several times a year.

James McLaughlin 2025-09-03
Lovely course. Well kept.

Joe Sanghani 2025-08-30
Amazing course. It was fun to play out there. Conditions were great and fairways were well maintained

Don Mitchell 2025-08-18
Course in good order reasonable priced

Andrew Cliff 2025-07-17
Tight golf course with a premium on accuracy. Fairways and greens in great condition.

Jeremy Tester 2025-07-16
A very smooth and helpful service

Anders Artelius 2025-07-15
No complaints. Service as promised. Arranged 3 tee times on 2 different courses. Was well informed that Prime at Vila Sol, Vilamoura was closed for maintenance. ????????

David M Tate 2025-07-15
One of the best courses we have played. Greens and fairways in great condition. Buggy paths could do with some work. Staff very helpful. Will play again when next in town.

Christopher DREW 2025-07-12
Haven’t been there there for at least 10 years, really good condition and staff service excellent

David Cameron 2025-07-06

Jim McDonnell 2025-06-19
Excellent

John Gostage 2025-06-17
Not happy as not enough buggy’s so one of us had to walk in the heat

Neville Hudson 2025-06-13
They were struggling with rhe buggies but we managed to get them about 5 before tee off, but to be fair they did a good job. And i think this was the best condition we have ever seen it in

Graham Cookson 2025-06-08
Great golf course, but the marshall didn't do his job avoiding slow play.

Eoghan Lenihan 2025-06-07
Lovely course, friendly staff.

Ian McPherson 2025-06-05
I did not find Vila Sol very welcoming compared to the other courses I have experienced in Portugal (''we need the buggy back by 8pm, so you should tee off early, suggest you don't hit balls'')

Ian jones 2025-06-05
Very slow play marshals not pushing groups in front should not take 5hrs 55 for 18 holes 4 ball

Duncan Ramsey 2025-06-01
Very enjoyable round course in good condition, good golfing facilities and bar

Adam Owen 2025-05-31
Excellent and very pleasurable few golfing days - courses were immaculate and staff exceptional.

Andrew Byers 2025-05-29
Very good course, best of our trip.

Steven Greenwood 2025-05-29
Very enjoyable. Booking and club hire made really easy and knowledge of local courses meant we got a good deal. Would definitely book again.

Alan Coe 2025-05-25
Friendly

John Laing 2025-05-21
Lovely course. Tee boxes quite poor

DESJAMES Fabrice 2025-05-18
Très beau golf de 27 trous qui offre une variété technique de très bon niveau Très bien entretenu et bar du club house pas trop cher

James Page 2025-05-17
Fabulous course, staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended this club to play

Barbara McGuiness 2025-05-15
Beautiful golf course service was exceptional

David Daly 2025-05-13
Very good nice course staff were friendly and welcoming

Elliot Sampson 2025-05-12
Lovely course which was suggested by Simon at Tee Times. We couldnt find many reviews prior to travelling, so were a little apprehensive prior to going. The couse was fantastic and in great condition. We had pre-booked buggies, however none were available so had to use trolleys. This did not affectthe day in anyway. We were held up a little with slow play however had plenty of time to get around. Loved every hole. Beer buggies was frequent too ;)

John Joseph Gaffney 2025-05-09
Great course which seemed fairly quiet when we teed off at 15.00 on a Wednesday. Challenging course with fairly tight tree lined fairways, but good condition and a really enjoyable round

Stephen Curran 2025-05-08
Quirky wee course but very enjoyable

john birt 2025-05-07
When we played the power was down in Portugal so any payments could only be cash. We wanted 2 buggies but only had 100 euros in cash but because we were 10 euros short they would not allow us to have the buggies even though we promised to pay the 10 euros when the ATM's were working again. They need to work on their customer satisfaction skills

Clive Mabbutt 2025-05-06
Same as Pinhal regarding drinks and food not available after 8pm. Nice course..great holes..just could do with some more love and care to make it great

Larry Simpson 2025-05-05
The layout of the two nines that we played was very good. However the maintenance of the course was very, very poor. Not enough attention given to the maintenance of the greens in particular. A great clubhouse and excellent staff. May I thanks Debbie in particular who helped get us transport back to our hotel during the power outage. Vila Sol was rated equal last ( along with Christy O'Connor ) and a big step down when compared with Laranjal, Quinta do Lago South and Monte Rei.

Ingvar Kristinsson 2025-04-28
I have for long time liked Vila Sol Golf course. Challenging course with narrow fairways, with some very nice holes. The course was now in April in very good condition, I managed to play the all 27 holes this time. Worth visiting.

Jose Fernandez 2025-04-19
Nice people

Jose Fernandez 2025-04-14
Notable improvements

Wim Niemans 2025-04-09
Some holes need a big improvement!

Tommy Landers 2025-04-09
Played 1 to 18 off yellow tees good fair course I enjoyed it.coure. Course Marshall was very helpful.

Maximilian Baumann 2025-04-09
Very nice course that seems to have suffered under bad weather conditions recently. Average to good playing conditions. Friendly staff!

Chris Horton 2025-04-07
Really surprised having not played it before.. nice course

John Wellsbury 2025-04-03
ok course - friendly staff

Martin Punch 2025-03-18
Excellent Course

Graham Ironside 2025-03-14
Very narrow tree lined golf course with fast undulating greens which makes it a real test of golf.

Paul Anderson 2025-03-03
Super layout across all 3 nine holes with the course in very good condition. My personal favourite nine holes are 10 thru 18.

Paul Redding 2025-02-27
Very helpful, managed to get us a very good deal too

Alexandre Gouget 2025-02-26
Perfect !

Gary Denman 2025-02-25

PLICHTA 2024-12-14
Nice course

Richard Scott 2024-11-20
Great course, staff were friendly and the service excellent.

Ridwan Limbada 2024-11-16
Shortage of buggies meant the round was a long one. Staff were welcoming, a lack of a starter meant the tee times were quite close and we had people trying to tee off during our tee time. Course was in good condition, greens weren't the most amazing but ran true. Tight golf course so shots need to be calculated.

Kishor Chauhan 2024-11-13
Brilliant course but too far from the accommodation

Ted Johnson 2024-11-09
Course in decent condition, pace of play pretty good (4:15), especially considering the short tee time spacing. Narrow fairways with stone pine tree canopies interfering with shots from the rough to the green. Layout is OK, although plenty of fairways side—by-side.

Franz Schautzer 2024-11-08
Very nice course, challenging! The conditions are not bad….

Matt Brown 2024-10-19
A beautiful golf course with great layout

Lauermann Andreas 2024-10-19
Good course in good condition

James Spencer 2024-10-18
Excellent course,

David Stanhope 2024-10-17
Never quite at the top of its game, but still good.

Jonathan Phillips 2024-10-12
Really poor greens, too many much better courses in the area.

Dave Sheehan 2024-10-11
Excellent course, great facilities and staff.

Euan Esslemont 2024-10-09
Enjoyed the course lay out. Service friendly, but was obviously under pressure with lunch orders as service slow. Greens and tees really need some work. Poor condition. A lot of traffic through course which is affecting poor rolls on greens with lots of bumps and poorly repaired pitch marks. Would go back, but not until some reassurance over condition of course. The tee areas and pin positions appear like not been changed for some time, hence lots of wear and tear.

Ronnie Carswell 2024-10-03
A tough but fair challenge, course in very good condition

Phil Denman 2024-09-30
Friendly, efficient, prompt, courteous

Johnny Waugh 2024-09-29
Nice course layout. But the greens were awful and the pace of play the worse I have ever experienced.

Paul Richmond 2024-09-24
Course in good condition - buggies are a bit old and not reliable and driving range machine not working plus quality of range balls were poor

Paul 2024-09-24
Very good course in excellent condition

Keith Farrow 2024-09-19
Challenging course, though in places its condition is below par for the price. Greens very slow. Pro shop staff very helpful.

David Husk 2024-09-19
Nice tree lined course

Mr. Dynes 2024-09-13
The staff dealt quickly with our query and organised a short notice game of golf, at a very reasonable fee

Paul Linihan 2024-09-09
Fantastic course, but twice, people cut in front of us on the back nine which slowed things up

Andrew Lawrence 2024-08-27
All went smoothly

Steven Jones 2024-08-15
Everything was spot on Thank you

Marc Dellow 2024-07-26
The golf course is in very poor condition.

richie hoban 2024-07-25
Top class. Course in great conditions

Andrew Ward 2024-07-21
Overall compared to other courses good value.

Kenneth Ohlendorff 2024-07-16
Very slow play

Andy Edwards 2024-07-09
Good. Very busy and slow due to lots of 4 balls in front of us

Nils Taawo 2024-07-04
One of the best.

MATTHEW HOLLANDS 2024-06-28
4hours 40minutes to do 18 holes. Beautiful course, but sadly staff here didn’t push along slow groups. I play every week in 4 players, doing 3hours 30mins, worse case 4hours. Won’t play here again. Too many golfers with no etiquette or care about how long they take. Disappointing for a lot of expense.

Ute Uppenbrink 2024-06-28
Alle gespielten Golfplätze sind mega und in einem hervorragendem Zustand. -**- All the golf courses we played are mega and in excellent condition.

Tim Moon 2024-06-26
Helpful staff. Holes 19-27 needed more watering. Holes 1-9 were very good.

Maurice Danaher 2024-06-25
Not very well organised, starting times too close together, way too long a round, no drinks or snacks on the course, half way house shut, nice course

Alan Cherry 2024-06-22
Excellent

Neville Hudson 2024-06-15
Was ok, but not happy that we had to play holes 19-9 as we always like to play 1-18 as 19-27 is not good at all. And was only told 2 weeks before our departure that the golf course had maintenance, which isn't good from the golf club

Trevor Turnbull 2024-06-10
Brilliant days golf everything was organised so well thanks to tee golf

Henk Tunen 2024-06-10
Baan lag er in zijn geheel prima bij. Alleen 5 uur erover doen met een buggy (en bij iedere hole wachten) is wel heeeeel erg lang. Horeca doet altijd een beetje moeilijk als je nog wat wilt eten. .... Ja, u moet snel bestellen want de keuken gaat bijna dicht en drie kwartier later kan er bij een andere tafel nog gewoon besteld worden! -**- Overall, the course was in great shape. Only 5 hours with a buggy (and waiting at every hole) is really long. Restaurants are always a bit difficult if you want something to eat. .... Yes, you have to order quickly because the kitchen is about to close and three quarters of an hour later you can still just order from another table!

Graham Cookson 2024-06-07
Top notch golf course, great greens.

David 2024-06-03
Absolutely stunning. We loved playing here and highly recommend it. The welcome in the pro shop was wonderful. Service was outstanding. There was quite a difference between the pace of green between the different 9 hole courses. But that made it a bit more interesting.

Kevin Smith 2024-05-21
We had a lovely time at Vila Sol. Tough test, but very enjoyable. Staff very friendly.

Nick Fry 2024-05-16
The speed of play slow & little marshalling

Barbara McGuiness 2024-05-16
Amazing experience beautiful course extremely helpful and friendly staff will definitely be back

John Butcher 2024-05-14
Perfect way to spend an afternoon. Thanks to Carlos at TeeTimes and a special mention to Marcia at the course reception. A swift bite to eat before the round & a cold zero alcohol beer was brilliantly priced. Obrigada

Mr Padraig Mcgoldrick 2024-05-09
Play on the front 9 was very very slow.

Michael Sykes 2024-04-29
Course in good condition but tee times were double booked resulting in a very slow round

DAVID THOMAS MAYFIELD 2024-04-26
Disappointed that they didn’t have any buggies available when we arrived They did eventually find on as I struggle to walk 9 holes took 2 and half hours not a Marshall in sight

Richard Ormonde 2024-04-26
Top class

Wim Niemans 2024-04-22
Very nice golf course !!!!

Andrew Godfrey 2024-04-22
Friendly staff, Course in good condition, not too busy so few delays, trolleys too expensive

Jan Marklund 2024-04-21
Good course

Eamonn Ryan 2024-04-19
Best course we played all week. Course in great condition and service from course staff first class. Will go there again.

Syl Cronin 2024-04-15
Very good

MR PHILIPPE HOARAU 2024-04-13
Very dissatisfied with today’s course. We started at 3:36 pm from tee 19 with no part ahead. At tee 20 we caught up with an excessively slow game of 4 and then we realized that there was a competition or other event reserved for Juniors. 1h30 to painfully make 3 tees. Impossible to play we had to give up. For a reservation made 2 months before, it is expensive paid.

John Fennell 2024-04-13
Lovely course

Kjell Baudin 2024-04-12
We always enjoy to be at Vila Sol courses. Coming there to play twice a year. Wonderful place!

Kjell Baudin 2024-04-03
No service on the course! Nothing to buy after 9 holes. Closed! And many players on the course. Otherwise as in usual condition. Nice to play. We feel ''at home''.

Jan Hoogenboom 2024-04-03
The service of teetimes is more than excellent. Always a prompt response and very customer oriented.

Søren Rasmussen 2024-03-31
First time/ not last

Wolfgang Brozat 2024-03-26
Challenging Course, manifold impressions, recommendation to play

Mr Herbert Keil 2024-03-23
Top Preis Leistung. -**- Top price performance.

Rob Thomas 2024-03-13
Little disorganised at course. No Starter.

fantastic day at a great golf course.

Pauline Hill 2024-03-04
First time playing Vila Sol and thoroughly enjoyed the layout, variety of holes and course condition.

Ray Sheridan 2024-02-28
Good course. Recommended

Ronni Clayton 2024-02-26
Friendly people looked after us really well

Biolley Gilbert 2024-02-16
The first 9 were very crowded. I suspect it's not well organized. But the course is very good contition and we had a nice game.

Peter Brighton 2024-02-11
Great course in good condition

Colin Emsden 2024-02-07
A bit tougher than Pinhal but still very enjoyable

Warrick Dawson 2024-02-04
Course in poor condition and play very slow (we waited on every shot even as a fourball). I won’t rush back.
