Neil Kimberley
Course in very good condition. Very welcoming staff in shop, bar, starter, everywhere. Nice touch to have coffee on first tee.
Course is very good, but not spectacular.
Green Fee definitely very high, which gives exclusivity BUT too much for a good not great course
Lockie Williams
Beautiful course. In excellent shape. Great layout. Wonderful day.
Monica Robertson
Fantastic, beautiful kept course
Tom Conaty
Everything was top quality ; from staff to greens to fairways to clubhouse.
William Stewart
Outstanding experience. Wonderful course in great condition. Course staff were fantastic and the catering and choices were excellent and very reasonably priced.
Halper Johannes
A beautiful golf course, everything fits here, well maintained, on Saturday we play again we are looking forward to it
Ron Goudreau
Excellent from start to finish. Driving range/putting green/ coffee on hole one/staff everything was top notch.
Halper Johannes
Service excellent, driving range with trackman there is no better. The golf course is in very good condition
Alan Newton
Fantastic day. Course in great shape.
Kevin Amphlett
Fabulous condition. A true 5 star golf experience. The staff were super friendly too.
Gosette Stein
Excellent Course in best possible conditions
Price is justified
Philip Napleton
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.
Mark Hughes
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.
Steven Johnston
Course was in good condition, we were first out so pace of play was good. Staff very helpful
Lauermann Andreas
A legendary course. Some fungal problems on the greens. Fairways ok. Makes a lot of fun
Martin Punch
Excellent 5 star quality- Driving range facilities second to none.
Club House Facilities & Service Impressive.
Sean McGoldrick
outstanding course
Jonathan Raw
Greens were okay but not up to the cost of the course which is now very expensive
Richard MacDonald
Great Day special course looked after us from start to finish !
John Redmond
Brilliant golf course with five star treatment
Thomas Holley
The best course we've played in the Algarve so far (11 so far). Everything seems a bit quieter and more beautiful. The clubhouse is elegant but rather simple. The staff greets guests at the parking lot and truly tries to anticipate their every need. The driving range offers free balls arranged in pyramids and a Trackman for every lane! At tee 1, you receive your score card and personalized Old Course bag tag. The fairways are beautifully laid out, and you don't miss the sea and cliffs at all on this course. The greens are nice and firm and the fastest we've played here so far. You should be in good shape, as there are quite a few elevation changes to overcome (if you don't use a buggy). After the round, we were greeted by staff at the 18th green, who presented us with a certificate for a successful day. The caddy master gave us a wet towel to refresh ourselves. We rounded off the day on the small but lovely terrace with a steak sandwich and a burger. Excellent!!!
Robbie Chisholm
Our favourite in Vilamoura, a must if you haven't played it - new Clubhouse is also excellent.
Philippe Mercier
Parcours et accueil excellent
Juste un petit problems de transfer pour y aller, on à attendu 40 minutes …..
Kevin Viggiano
Stunning! From start to finish, the service was exemplary and the course and facilities were fantastic!
Peter Clement
First visit for a couple of years and the improvement is clear to see with a lot of investment having been made on the course and at the clubhouse.
Philip Kucharski
Wonderful course and lovely people !
Andrew Bligh
Excellent experience; the practice area with the ball tracker was fantastic, the service was friendly and the course was in perfect condition.
Andy Noon
A perfect experience from start to finish, looked after absolutely everything and the course was stunning.
Euan Esslemont
Great venue. Great customer service. Fantastic greens. Was pricey in shop and for some of the food etc.
Steve Threader
Course and overall facilities have gone through a significant programme of improvement since we were last there in 2021. It was in great condition, the trees have been trimmed so you can see more of the course and the driving range facilities are excellent. Great course returned to its former glory.
Andrew Cliff
Treated like Royalty, lovely place to play golf
Paul Beckinsale
Excellent organisation
Chris Mayer
Course was in excellent condition and the staff so friendly
Mike Smith
It is great to see the new clubhouse completed and the course back to the high level it has always been.
Maria McKay
Fantastic course and facilities with the most helpful and friendly staff.
Saynt Jeeva
Amazing course especially after all changes 2 years ago!
David Ashenhurst
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.
John Gostage
Everything is Excellent
Monica Robertson
Beautiful course , well maintained, lovely clubhouse & friendly staff , best course I have played so far in Portugal
Simon Reece
I've been lucky enough to play this course many times over the past few years but its now been upgraded and its better than ever. From the greeting when your car arrives at reception, to your clubs carried to the buggies, water stations on the course, cold towels when you complete the round, clubhouse, bar, terrace, pro shop and restaurant have all have a face lift. Course investment has seen improved cart paths, lower limbs removed on trees and bunker upgrades. Back to being the best course in Vilamoura - brilliant.
Andy Mould
Fantastic - will book through you again. Very quick responses from emails. Always keen to help
Danny sneddon
Outstanding in every way.
Brian Hickey
Overall experience in this course is hugely improved in last few years.
Iain Johnstone
Course and facilities were excellent.
Kevin Tuohy
Tee times changed to 12 minute intervals which mostly avoided hold ups. Course in great condition. Service good but not quite as good as when played last year. In conclusion felt it was a little too expensive and would choose alternatives in the future.
Ross Paisley
The course and clubhouse have made wonderful improvements. The customer service was better than 10/10. A minor point would be that while course toilets are not in use, temporary toilets should be provided, especially for the ladies.
David Jones
Amazing venue, beautiful clubhouse and great staff. Got paired with two single figure players, same as us so we had a very good match that we halfed.
Barry Spillane
Excellent course and in great condition, looked after really well there.
James Cosgrove
This place was unreal, class experience.
Tomasz Hamera
Excellent golf course even if the weather was not so good.
Paul O'Donnell
Wow! They have spent plenty of skilled time & money in preparing the course for the 2025 Golf Season! Presentation was superb. Tees, carpet fairways & true greens. As mid handicap (14.0) golfers we really enjoyed the test of this course. More expensive than other nice local courses but worth it. Very friendly & helpful staff in every department. A highly recommended visit!!
Jeannot Mailhot
C’est toute une track de golf
Personnel très agréable
Dennis Meredith
Once again the Old Course exceeded all our expectations. In stunning order and the greens were magnificent. Clubhouse and staff are brilliant. Definitely on the list for 2026
Clive Sims
I have been playing this course since 1987 and it remains a favourite of mine.
Everything was perfect, the course, facilities and staff.
It is getting expensive, my only hope is that it does not get too expensive for me.
Richard schmit
great golfcourse. excellent service. good experience in restaurant.
Sean Murtagh
We were greated well and made to feel welcome. Complimentary driving range was an added bonus The course itself was lovely. The experience and food in the clubhouse afterwards was fantastic
We would recommend this course to our friends
Gerald Nuessel
Großartiger Kurs und tolles Service, sehr freundliches Personal
Dr. Klaus Mittelbach
Everything’s ok, in particular the driving range with the installed trackpad system is something new. Never the less now very expensive.
Geoff Dale
A very good course. However I think the cost is now too much for the course.
Jaroslav Mraz
great course with a friendly atmosphere

Clive Sims
It was a.very good day, the course is in excellent condition.
Marc Goumans
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.
Paul Halewood
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.
Tomasz Hamera
Beautiful course. Excelent conditions. Good pace of play. Good greens. Staff very friendly and helpful.
Steven Johnston
Course in good condition, friendly staff, clubhouse refurbishment didn’t affect us.
Claudio Monaci
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.
Marc Luthi
Looking foreward to discovering the newly refurbished club house next time. The personal was extremely friendly.
Martin Punch
Excellent Course in Great condition, Limited facilities due to renovations yet still charge rate of 194€ per person, (Exludes cost of €30 each for Buggy) Vilamoura needs to be careful they do not price themselves out of the market if not already done.... Volume of regular visitor golfers shrinking each year and when they go elsewhere it is difficult to bring them back.
Alexis Monville
Excellent course, fantastic people!
Owen Flynn
Great day to day and the complementary coffee and drinks was nice.
Jon Raw
Course in great condition, greens very good. Clubhouse undergoing renovation but temporary set up is excellent. Provide free drinks while the work is done. Staff all good.
Jim Farrelly
The greens have recovered and the course is in excellent condition. Complementary coffee, drink on the course and post round glass of champagne was much appreciated. Our group thoroughly enjoyed the our day at the Old Course.
David Stanhope
Clubhouse undergoing refurb, but temporary facilities worked fine. Course great.
Andrew Thorpe
From start to finish we had friendly reception from staff at reception and bar. In spite of the clubhouse renovation the temporary setup was more than adequate and food and drink service was excellent. The course was in excellent condition and remains a favourite.
Steve Richmond
Great golf course in excellent condition. Our party played it last year and wanted to come back for another go. A bit of refurbishment going on, including the clubhouse, but that didn't cause much of an issue. The staff were great apart from the ''jobs worth'' course marshall. Our shuttle buses, arranged by our Dom Pedro hotel, were very late which meant we arrived virtually on our tee time. We had to book shuttles 1hr 30 mins before tee time and were told they would be 35/40 mins. Turned up 1hr 10 mins later. We therefore had to rush around and teed off slightly late. We then had the marshall tell us we were behind time. Seemed ignorant to the issue when told and part spoiled the experience. Very disappointing. Lower rating due to this.
Philip Napleton
Great course and even better team running it. Temporary clubhouse until Nov 2024 but experience was excellent.
Vicki Scott
Great course and friendly staff, with excellent service. Not sure it’s quite worth the price though. Other courses we played were just as good and half the price.
Paul Meredith
Course good. Service excellent. It would have been nice to know that clubhouse is being redeveloped. We had a major issue with the shuttle to the hotel as had to wait for nearly 1 hour.
Bernie Moloney
Poor condition and preferred it as it was before.
Andrew Bligh
We were warned the facility was being refurbished and the greens had recently had work done on them. They appropriately refunded us some of the fees we paid, which was appreciated. Overall the course is one of our favourites and will definitely return.
Lucy MItchell
It was under renovation when we went but the staff have done their best with temporary facilities. Staff very helpful & friendly. Course needed some work on the greens as they weren’t in good condition.
Ivan Taylor
After being advised by Tee Times maintenance work had take longer due to the dry summer we found the course in good condition compared to other courses that we have recently played, a couple of greens were still recovering (especially the first). The clubhouse is being refurbished but the temporary facilities are fine and all the staff excellent. A very enjoyable round.
Andrew Slavin
Superb course, all natural, no tricks. Decent condition. A few problems with some areas on tbe Greens but reception had warned in advance.
Great customer service, with Club being upfront about greens and apologies for some temp services due to clubhouse rebuild. Reduced buggy rates and free drink on buggy bar to compensate.
Other clubs in area take note on how to treat paying customer (Palmares!!)
Paul Fernandez
Excellent course, staff very friendly and helpful.
Monika Franck
The course is unde construction in the moment
We got a special offer for the buggies and the driving Range.
We enjoyed the game
Cormac Hannan
Greens in horrendous condition. No mention of it prior to booking. Everything else good
John Finnegan
Disappointed by the condition of the greens but everything else was excellent
Robin Akehurst
A great day out at Vilamoura Old Course. Excellent service at the course from initial greeting to leaving.
James Side
Course was in reasonable condition albeit a lot of work being done and the greens were somewhat bobbly. I was unaware that the facilities would be unavailable and coupled with the work on the course I find it hard to believe that the cost wasn’t discounted to take this into account.
Anthony Alden
hi the staff were amazing , but we really should have been told about the work happening on the course beforehand , chain saws and construction work is really not what we expected from the the most expensive course of our trip. we would have much preferred to play another course if we were made aware of this. The Millennium and Pinnal were fantastic but the old course was a let down
JULIAN REDDING
Unaware course under major maintenance incl. Clubhouse (shut)
Joe Westall
Greens were awful and marshals rushing us for no reason
Anthony Seaton
Compared to previous years just a bit disappointed at the condition of the greens. They had recently been worked on but not great condition. Not made aware (made our booking 10 months ago)
The work on clubhouse and infrastructure of paths etc didnt impact on golf much and is understood no doubt will enhance things in future.
Simon Mcelroy
Poor not good value for money
David Murphy
This was an awesome golf experience. Teetimes were great. The staff at the old course were amazing from the moment we arrived to the minute we left. I highly recommend this course not just for that but also because it is a brilliant course.
Janet Metcalfe
Best golfing experience in Villamoura...
Fabulous course, fabulous staff and facilities.
Picked up in the carpark, treated like royalty by lovely friendly staff
Free driving range and refreshments to get you started.
Beautiful course, undergoing development of car paths currently across the entire course but it didn't spoil our enjoyment as the staff working were very polite and courteous.
Eamon McCay
A lot of maintenance work being carried out which is obviously necessary , when completed it will look even more stunning,fairways have improved immensely.
Florian Greiner
Beautifull !!
Benton
Lovely course but spoilt by all the works including paths and tree filling being carried out at the same time
Dipak Raval
Lovely course but lots of ongoing work
Nicki Newburn
Great course with welcoming staff and very organised
Richard Moore
Excellent golf course, first class service, very much enjoyed our round at the Old Course. Appreciated the fact that range balls were available without the need for tokens, set it above the ranges at the other courses. Only suggested improvement would be to have the range area playing off grass rather than mats.
Danny Connellan
Very good
Lopez Alain
We had great time. Problem on car pathétique cart was too slow
Gerard Kinsella
Old course in fantastic condition work been done on paths and cutting back trees but does not take away from the enjoyment of playing. played many times before and look forward to playing again.
Mark Hobson
Great course but not in as good condition as previous years, and certain clientele noisy and do not look after the course
Kevin Tuohy
Exceptional as ever
james curley
great service. Free range balls, free coffee water and apples at the 1st tee.
Allan Andesen
Great as always
Jerry Kunkler
A fantastic day course was immaculate and facilities were great too
Mark Dowden
Really top course
Michael FitzPatrick
Lots of work being done on course.
Workers' foreman noisey.
Otherwise in great shape
Philip Ward
Immaculate condition and excellent layout. Excellent service.
Jan Senkerik
The staff, authentic older facilities, and quality of the course for sure take the #1 golf course in Portugal away from Monte Rei. The only thing that we did not like was that the holes are very close together so you always have someone around chatting. Also, sadly they were reconstructing the roads and cutting trees which disrupts the play quite heavily and there was no acknowledgement from the course that would compensate for it.
Mark Walls
Beautiful course in great condition. There is a lot of work ongoing on the course but did not spoil our enjoyment of this great course.
Wolfgang Brozat
Beautiful Course, wonderful staff, perfect service
Clive Sims
Excellent. Course perfect, staff great and cleaned our clubs.
Clive Sims
The course was in excellent condition and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Good to see the improvements they are making.
Leopold Haider
Super Platz. -**- A fantastic place.
Mr Herbert Keil
Eine einzige Baustelle ohne Entschuldigung oder Entgegenkommen. -**- A single construction site without apology or concession.
Julie Simpson
Everything about the experience was Superb. GPS Buggies, Complementary Range Ball & Tea/Coffee Machine on the 1st Tee. Following the Round we enjoyed a Lovely Lunch on the Veranda & All the Staff at the Course were so Friendly Xx ????
jamie
Very very slow play . Greens were only ok . Course itself was in great condition. Range is brilliant . Staff are excellent. The ranger really need to speed up play group ahead we’re a hole behind and I have no problem them hitting it 20 yards off tee every hole but we should have been let play thur .
