What the club says: Designed by English architect Frank Pennink, Vilamoura Old Course was opened in 1969 and was completely refurbished in 1996, when several improvements were introduced and a new clubhouse built. The oldest of the Vilamoura courses, its tree lined fairways and exemplary greens make this layout one of the best in the area. The course is renowned for the way the designer has skilfully utilised the natural contours of the land, whilst maintaining the native vegetation, consisting mainly of pine trees. Vilamoura Old is a track that will definitely linger long in the memory of visiting golfers.

Reviewed Sep 18 2018 by Cheryl M - rated 5 out of 5 A must play
Doesn’t matter when you visit the area this course is a must visit. The fairways and greens are immaculate and the staff are proud of the heritage of the course. It really is fantastic. Not easy as the tree lined fairways cause problems, well placed trees and bunkers on approach. But it’s still a great course to play.(Round played: Sep 2018 - Score: 89 Handicap: 17.5)

The course was the best I have ever seen it and the greens were fantastic played well and if I had sunk all of the putts I left only just short I could have easily had 40 plus points(Round played: Sep 2018 - Score: 85 Handicap: 11)

Reviewed Sep 20 2017 by Tony B - rated 5 out of 5 classic tree line feel
Class course in very good condition. Tree line formation made the fairways very tough to hit. The greens in great condition, 1 downfall was the amount of divots on the fairway, no one seemed to be replacing the divots! Regardless of that would love to play it again.(Round played: Sep 2017 - Score: 96 Handicap: 13.1)

Second time playing the Old Course, as good as first time but still a tough course to play. Friendly clubhouse. Course in great condition, many treelined holes, need to be straight and plot you way round to score well. Greens fast and true. A must play if staying in Vilamoura as one of the better Oceanico courses.(Round played: Jun 2017 - Score: 83 Handicap: 5.5)

Reviewed Jun 13 2017 by Greg S - rated 5 out of 5 The best in Portugal?
For me this is the best course in the Faro area and perhaps the best in Portugal. To me this is what all Portuguese courses should be like, tree lined, beautiful fairways, with lovely greens and a real sense of history. Some of our group thought that around the course (paths and tracks) was a bit shabby, but to be honest I didn't notice, I was having too much fun!(Round played: Jun 2017 - Score: 98 Handicap: 17.8)
