Very disappointing service
Palmares is a great course let down by a lack of buggies and appalling customer service. We arrived for our first round almost two hours before tee off and we still did not have the correct buggies and range balls we had paid for with 5 minutes to go till our tee time. The staff on reception are incredibly rude, they talk to you like you are a criminal for making the slightest request, mix up requests from different groups and spend most of their time either on the phone to persons unknown or shouting down walkie talkies to the buggy attendants who then say they have not heard from the reception when you speak to them. For the second round the staff were again very rude from the outset and told us our booking of two three balls had been changed to a 2 and a 4 to accommodate another 2 ball. Eventually they agreed to let us play as 2 three balls 20 minutes earlier, so again we had to rush to sort things out. After the first 9 being done in 1 hour 45 we had a 1 hour wait to tee off on the 10th as the system to merge in people from other courses obviously doesn't work and 6 groups arrived on the tee at the same time. It then took a further 3 hours to play the back 9 in very slow conditions so it ended up being a 6 hour round. I don't mind a 10-15 minute wait to tee off on a back 9 but an hour is ridiculous. Considering the course is incredibly expensive the whole experience was very disappointing, I would not go back there or recommend it unless you are a small group playing early in the morning and don't mind a 5 hour round. There are some fantastic holes but I judge a course on the whole experience from when you arrive until you leave and most of the Palmares experience was unpleasant.Reviewer Rating

Nice course with great scenery
Played this course for first time which is made up of 3 seperate 9 hole tracks, Alvor, Lagos & Praia, decided to do the Praia combined with Alvor. The praia is a true links type track, quite tough as narrow fairways and plenty of rough gorse type areas, few blind shots. The Alvor was much better, more inland but with stunning views out to sea, generally much better condition than Praia. Next time we will play the Alvor & Lagos combination.(Round played: Jun 2017 - Score: 79 Handicap: 5.3)

The facilities of the club let it down, portaloos on the course, no drinks buggy. The views from the bar are stunning.

The greens looked a bit patchy but they ran perfectly and were fairy quick. Layout was testing and fun - we luckily played wth a couple of members which definitely removed the added problem of not really knowing the best line off the tee.
All in all it was a pleasure. Personally I was a bit rusty, but was quite pleased with my 88 (handicap 14) and would be confident of knocking at least 2 or 3 shots of that if I were to play again - what I'm trying to say is that it's a good test of golf, but not a course that's going to destroy you!
At ?72 pp it's not cheap, but if money is less of an issue, I'd definitely recommend.
