Vilamoura Els Club ex Victoria Golf Course
The Victoria Golf Course in Vilamoura, now officially rebranded as The Els Club Algarve, has undergone significant renovations under the leadership of golf legend Ernie Els. Originally designed by Arnold Palmer and renowned for hosting the European Tour’s Portugal Masters from 2007 to 2022, the course has long been a symbol of excellence in European golf.
The extensive upgrade aimed to modernise the course, elevate playing conditions, and enhance all on-site facilities—ensuring it remains a world-class golfing destination. The newly transformed Els Club Algarve was officially inaugurated on 21st July 2025 and is set to welcome golfers from around the world with an even higher standard of service, design, and experience.

Victoria is part of the Dom Pedro group which has 5 quality golf courses. Victoria is known for hosting European tour events in the (recent) past. Lots of big names have won here. I saw it a lot on television and was excited to play here. Although the quality of the course is excellent I was a little disappointed. After all it wasn't that challenging as I expected. In my opinion I prefer The Old Course and even Pinhal and Millennium provide a better challenge. Victoria has more water but it is a prety open course, fun to play still.
