Pinheiros Altos Golf Club

Pinheiros Altos Golf ClubPinheiros Altos was originally designed by the American Ronald Fream and borders the Natural Park of Ria Formosa, which provides a habitat for many species of birds and vegetation. Peter McEvoy and Howard Swan later redeveloped it into a highly original and distinctive course, with two sets of nine holes that possess completely opposing characteristics. Pinheiros Altos provides a real golfing challenge, where brain is infinitely more useful that brawn. The first nine winds its way over and through pine-clad, rolling countryside. The second nine drops down into a valley bottom, where intrusive lakes provide a test of accuracy and skill.

Golf course review of Pinheiros Altos Golf Club

Now has 3 sets of 9 holes - a good course for high handicappers as fairly forgiving if wayway - some of the holes can get a bit boggy but the worst candidate is a par 3 so you shouldn't be anywhere except on the green anyway which is fine.

Nice island green to play nearest the pin - played with 6 people of which only two of us (the highest handicappers I might add) made it onto the green!

Greens are good - overall a pleasant course - would revisit.

Golf course review of Pinheiros Altos Golf Club

The new holes are looking great. The par 5 4th on Pines invites a long drive. Had an eagle putt, only to 3 putt!

Golf course review of Pinheiros Altos Golf Club

A gem in my opinion.

Three loops of 9 winding though the trees. Comparitively cheap for the area with good facilites and friendly staff.

Challenging holes in nice surroundings. When we were there a prize hole was on offer with a 120 yard carry over water. Not for the faint hearted but an interesting challenge.

Golf course review of Pinheiros Altos Golf Club


This course is one of my favourites here on The Algarve.
It is a testing course which is always maintained in immaculate condition. Beware loads and loads of water on the back nine.
