Small, friendly course with the feeling of a member\\\\\\\'s club rather than a tourist attraction. Fairways in good shape and greens in excellent condition. Have played this course many times and always look forward to returning.

Three of us played here on 12 Aug 14 at a cost of €150 which included a trolley and one buggy. Tee'd of early at 0736 to avoid the heat and the crowds. It was really quiet and we could take our time to enjoy this lovely course. I am a high handicap golfer but was well within my ability. Some interesting holes with enough to challenge all abilities. The course and greens were in good shape and the staff were friendly and helpful. The bar was friendly and perfect for a post round drink. There are better and more expensive courses on the Algarve but this is perfect for enjoyable holiday golf. Playing there again tomorrow!

A good fair course, greens in excellent condition - only negative is the poor condition of the sand in the bunkers

Nice, interesting and hilly course. Greens had recently been cored so i can't comment on that (annoying but essential) so if they typically are as true as the other Portugal courses then it would certainly be up there.

For the area it does present reasonable value for money. Played several times over the last few years and the course never fails to be presented in excellent conditions despite the heat and parched nature of the surrounding area. Lots of english speaking staff make communication easy, a pleasure to play.

Having a special corporate membership deal here, I play this course regularly and it has improved in leaps and bounds over the last two years. It's very forgiving for rookies and great fun to play with fantastic views over the surrounding Tavira countryside.

This is quite a short course playing off the yellows, but very well manicured with great greens. Does wonders for the confidence, however off the whites it is a totally different course and challenging. Very comfortable clubhouse with excellent service and great food.Reviewer Rating

This course is endorsing its growing reputation for its player enjoyment and with the recent improvement of the access from the "Via de Infante" to Tavira this makes the whole area much quicker to reach. The course is laid out on mainly undulating land the course offers pleasant views both to the Atlantic Ocean and the hills of the Serra do Caldeirão. Players accuracy is particularly called upon by the architects retention of as many of the old trees as feasible. These natural obstacles coupled with strategic placed bunkers and occasional water hazards make the course a worthwhile challenge.

The decision to build a golf course on the land of the Quinta de Benamor was made in 1986. The landowner invited the late Sir Henry Cotton to design the concept for the 18-hole course. Sir Henry was inspired by the ancient church next to the site of the clubhouse and the spectacular location of the entire site.
The result is a fantastic par 71 course of 5500 metres which offers a challenge to players of all standards. The course is undulating, but not overly hilly and has stunning views to the north and south to the mountains and the Atlantic.
Indigenous olive, cork, carob, fig and almond trees, many of them centuries old feature both aesthetically and in playing terms. Water hazards and bunkers are strategically placed around the course to test your strategy and accuracy.
The greens of Penn A4 are superb, and fairways of Bermuda Sahara provide good lies for most well-placed shots.
A driving range, putting green and putting course are available for pre-round practice.
Benamor golf will always inspire a return visit, as a good score is visibly acheivable but may be elusive!

Very Busy Course
Due to its proximity of being the nearest course East of Faro to Tavira it’s busy with Northern Europeans and can be slow with golfers in buggies which aren’t really needed as it’s an easy walk and quite short.(Round played: Jan 2022 - Score: 86 Handicap: 16.8)
