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.

This is an excellent course in pristine condition. The layout is beautiful, with some parts evoking Augusta. It is a real challenge and the scenery is lovely. The clubhouse is also in great condition. I really enjoyed playing here and would definitely recommend it.

Special Day

Challenging and beautiful course. When you arrive you will be greeted with the 1st hole and that will let you realise what you are dealing with. Great layout with even the Par 3's challenging but great fun. Victoria might host the Portugese Masters now, but this is the course with the history. The transfers, the water in the buggies, just a great experience.

Just beautiful

This is such an iconic course and in such fantastic condition. Everyone should play it. Not easy as wayward shots are punished and lots of tree challenges to face as you go round. The changing rooms are adequate and the staff very helpful. Appreciated the trolley cart on such a hot day too. Better pace in three or four ball rounds but as we walked the course we were not held up too much until the latter holes. A bit of a bottleneck on the par threes.

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.
