Old Course Vilamoura – A Timeless Classic, Reimagined
Designed by Frank Pennink in 1969 and later redesigned by Martin Hawtree in 1996, this championship course features strategic doglegs, well-protected greens, and subtle undulations that demand precision and strategy.

The clubhouse has been completely reshaped, offering a modern and sophisticated space for players to relax and unwind. The state-of-the-art driving range, now equipped with TrackMan technology, provides golfers with cutting-edge data analysis to refine their game.
As with all Vilamoura Golf courses, the Old Course upholds strict environmental sustainability practices, ensuring that this historic gem remains pristine for generations to come.

From start to finish the experience was amazing, we were greeted in the car park and our clubs were escorted to our buggy. The range with the track man was fantastic. The course was in amazing condition albeit the greens were very quick. Slight complaint would be that our clubs were offered to be cleaned but after a couple of drinks in the bar we went to collect our clubs and they weren’t clean but it didn’t ruin the day in anyway. Would recommend anyone to play.

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.
