Second time playing here and will be coming again for sure. The staff are amazing, the practice facilities are next level with range balls included and trackman on every bay. The starter has a personalised metal bag tag for every player. The course is in fantastic condition with greens teams raking bunkers all over the place and marshalls on the course to check everything is going ok and pace of play is good. The new clubhouse is also fantastic as is the food. Probably not going to be your cheapest round in the area, but absolutely worth it.

Excellent and well managed course. Facilities are first class as is the service from the moment you arrive and until you leave. The staff at the pro shop provided an excellent overview of the course, facilities etc. Trackmans have been installed on the driving range, complimentary coffee at the first tee.
Some feel the Green fees high, however I believe they are commensurate with the experience provided.

we played 9 holes. NIce and not too long holes, quite short. Clubhouse excellent.
Atmosphere was great, quiet people, no bragging drunken English, free balls and water, coffee and thee, apples etc. Hospitality at his best. Staff very pleasant.

This is an excellent course in pristine condition. It is a real challenge and the scenery is lovely. The transfers, the water in the buggies, free range balls, the excellent staff make for a great experience. We really enjoyed playing here and would definitely recommend it.

Old Course it’s a must in Vilamoura: The Course is in perfect playing conditions and, despite the Clubhouse was closed for a refurbishment, the staff was extremeño helpful and kind.
