In February 24 it is in a very poor state

Played today. The Alvor nine is closed.
The other two nines are in poor condition.
Please read RECENT TripAdvisor reviews on the course, I wish I had. Not told beforehand of issues relating to the abysmal greens and poor fairways and they still charge full price for playing and for the cart.

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.

This 27 hole course has 21 holes with sea views - some breath taking. Not a course for the weak hearted as very hilly but well worth the walk.
The facilities of the club let it down, portaloos on the course, no drinks buggy. The views from the bar are stunning.

Could Be Great

This course could be great (even the best in the Algarve) if they sorted the water problem out. 3 different 9's all very different. Overlooks the sea on numerous holes.
If they got the fairways watered and it was not so dry then it would be up there as one of, if not the nicest course in the Algarve, Shame.

Nice course worth playing

Third time playing Palmares, it's clubhouse has been rebuilt since last here and looks stunning. Played the Alvor/Lagos combination which is the best 18 in my opinion. Some nice looking holes playing down to the sea. Greens okay a bit patchy in places as were the fairways, perhaps spent all the money on the clubhouse and hotel and forgot to maintain the course. Still enjoyed the round though.

First time worth a visit

Our first time here and it was very pleasant. They have 3 lots of nine holes and we played the one along the coastline. Personally I am not a big fan of links golf so of the two 9 holes preferred the other nine. But for those that like a few dunes and coastline, this will fit the bill.

Stayed at the hotel. Lovely course even if the first 9 were just getting over maintenance. Clubhouse is nothing to write home about but good value considering quality of the course!
