The Golf Courses

Within 20 minutes of Faro Airport this large resort now boasts 4 eighteen hole golf courses as well as all the facilities one could expect of a mature resort including a Marina, Casino and several Hotels of all standards.

Old Course
Frank Pennink designed the famous Old Course which was originally constructed in 1969 but which has in recent years been refurbished and updated. The course measures 6254 metres and has a par of 72. For many golfing purists the Old Course is regarded as the Algarve’s finest course.

The Clubhouse has a terrace at golf course level overlooking the first tee and fifteenth green. It has a bar which serves snacks, as well as a restaurant. There is a Pro-Shop and other facilities include Driving Range, Putting green, Club hire, buggies and trollies.

Millenium
The most recent of the 18 hole course at Vilamoura designed in part by Martin Hawtree and the course which incorporates the third loop of nine holes of the earlier Laguna layout. It is part in an open parkland type setting and part in the pines. A delightful course for all golfers. It has a length of 6157 metres and a par of 72. The Millenium course shares a Clubhouse with the Laguna course and has all the same facilities.

Pinhal
The second of the Vilamoura courses to be constructed Pinhal measures 6300 metres and has a par of 72. A very good course with many pine tree lined fairways but also some peeps of the sea. Some of the holes have water hazards.

The Clubhouse has bar and restaurant and there is a Pro-Shop, Driving Range and Putting Green. Clubs, buggies and trollies may be hired.

Laguna
This 18 hole, 6111 metres course with a par of 72 features water as its main attraction otherwise the landscape here is fairly open. Some testing holes even for the low handicappers.

There is an attractive modern Clubhouse with terraces overlooking the course. It has a bar and restaurant, Pro-Shop and Locker Rooms. Other amenities include Driving Range, putting Green, and Chipping Green. Clubs, buggies and trollies available for hire.

Vila Sol
On the fringe of the Vilamoura estate close to Quarteira and Almancil, Vila Sol has 3 loops of 9 holes each with a par of 36 and measuring between 3079 and 3241 metres. Designed by Donald Steel and opened in 1991 it was soon to be the scene of the Portuguese Open. Not an easy course but a fair challenge for all golfers, the fairways are tree lined and several holes have water hazards to contend with.

The elegant clubhouse has good bar and restaurant facilities and an attractive terrace overlooking the 18th green; there is a Pro-shop, driving range, Putting Greens, chipping green and Golf Academy. Clubs, buggies and trollies available for hire.
