What The Club Says
The last course designed by the legendry Sir Henry Cotton, Alto Golf embodies his belief that a golf course should test players with low handicaps but also provide a pleasant game for golfers of only average ability. Situated near the picturesque village of Alvor, the course offers extraordinary white sandy beaches, clear blue sea and fascinating cliffs which all add to its charm and character.
The par 72 course traverses two gently sloping valleys with the front nine offering stunning views of the bay of Lagos. The back nine, set against rolling slopes, offers quite a test and includes the (quite frankly) remarkable Sir Henry Cotton Challenge - a huge par 5. At 661 yards, it requires concentration and skill to ensure a respectable score. With gently undulating greens, the course also challenges your putting ability.

Alto looking good
Nice round, albeit slow, but we were a two ball behind 4 and 3 balls. Ask to be paired up as you will always be behind 3 or 4 balls unless out at 7:30 am.Course in very good condition at the moment with nice greens. Felt the greens were rather slow but otherwise a nice round.

The hardest course I've ever played
This is just the hardest course I've ever played and because of such I struggled to enjoy it. The holes are very close together, which makes for a tricky and dangerous round made even more so with tight tree lined fairways all appear to be designed by a right handed player who doesn't want to give left handed players a chance. Mis-managed with insistence of play in 4 balls even if you have a small group of 6, 2 groups of 3 in your own little competition. Did not like that at all. Very disappointed with the day. Nice clubhouse though.Reviewer Rating

Alto Golf
Really nice tight tree lined course so have to be accurate off the tee. Most greens on a plateau so a lot of run off and greens quite small so have to be accurate.Course in good condition and enjoyed the challenge.

Last Leg of our Portugal Trip
I've never played on a more tight, beautiful course than this, a unique setting, not for big hitters that's for sure. You needed to be very accurate and controlled. The greens were lush and held the ball well. We were all a bit jaded by this time, usual Golf trip headaches, backaches, etc but Alto is a wonderful tree-lined course, and I for one cannot wait to come back.Reviewer Rating
