What the club says: Former host to the Portuguese Open, Vale Do Lobo is home to two of the most stunning courses in Europe. With European Tour members Brian Davies and Jarmo Sandelin regular visitors, be careful who you bump into in the clubhouse.

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

Fair but challenging course
I am a golfer with a 14 handicap. I felt that most of the holes were accessible to reach in regulation. There is a few holes which you need to play the course which I didn't as it was my 1st time playing.Reviewer Rating

Excellent Condition. Stunning views on a few holes
One of the best kept courses in the Algarve. Earlybird specials on Teetimes.ptThe signature #16 has stunning views. Lots of sand on all the holes but it's white powder like Florida in the USA. It's a long course. I don't recommend walking it. It also has a lot of hills. The tee boxes were sandy on 28-2-2024 but still in decent shape overall. There is quite a bit of water also, along with several bottlenecks in the fairways that come into play demanding a well placed tee shot.

Disappointing Return
Having not played the course for many years I was looking forward to my round, mainly to play the Royal course but we played the Ocean on the day the round however was spoilt by a course marshal who I suggest should receive some training who had no clue on course management or customer service.Reviewer Rating

Thoroughly enjoyed the whole ambience of the clubhouse and Ocean course. A couple of negatives in that the pace of play was horrendous and people didn’t rake the bunkers or repaired pitch marks on the greens.Reviewer Rating

One of the best!
Both great courses here in the Algarve. Brilliant design and although no real rough it’s still a challenge. Very well maintained and the greens are quick..Reviewer Rating
