Rewarding Course
Bring your putting boots and an A game and you can score well on this course.The course was in very good condition from carpet like fairways to quick putting surfaces. There are some good views to distract you from your game just to add to the fun. Friendly helpful staff and good food. Obviously it does get very busy.

All about the 16th
Played the Royal. Lovely course, but you need a buggy. cuts through The villas and across main roads to get to Next Tees on a few occasions, but no problems with traffic . Front nine quite straight. Back nine comes into its own. And the Signature 16th just worth the entrance fee alone across the Cliffs with stunning views, just one of the Worlds best holes. Wonderfull Facilities . loved itReviewer Rating

Excellent condition, tight off the tee
Vale do Lobo Royal course was in great condition when we played; perfect tees, fairways and greens. The sand in the bunkers is powder soft, what I imagine the sand that the pros experience to be like. It is an exacting course off the tee. Sometimes there is space to spray it but often holes are flanked by houses meaning you need to drive it straight to play well. There are some real standout holes, specifically the 6th, 7th, 9th, 11th, 14th, 15th and 16th, all of which involve water perfectly placed to provide challenge. But the rest of the course is also memorable. It is relentless off the tee because of the bunker placement, one each side of the fairway between 220 and 250 yards on almost every hole. It is expensive to play but the condition of the course almost makes it worth it. We teed off early (8.40am) and the pace of play was some of the best we experienced in the Algarve i.e. we got round in less than 4.5 hours, which was a treat.Reviewer Rating

Ocean Course
Two courses are located on the Vale Do Lobo resort, Ocean and Royal. The Royal is the one with the iconic par 3 over the cliffs, however the Ocean does have a couple of nice holes that run parallel to the beach. The course is OK, a little too lined by villa's for my personal preference, and the course was very soft on the whole. The greens were good, not fantastic, but there are some memorable holes. Great facilities however and very much worth playing!Reviewer Rating
