Beautiful course attached to a luxury hotel. This is a long hard course for a 20 handicapper. It was in very good condition and was a very fair test of golf.
On the day we played the course was heavily overcrowded. We arrived about 10 minutes early for our tee time but were in a long queue waiting to go.
On arrival at the course we had been asked to prove our handicaps. Nothing wrong with that. However, the group in front of us were clearly not golfers (or were having the day from hell); one of them taking 4 shots to get more than 50 yards from the tee, and another not much better. I can only assume that handicaps aren't a universal requirement. It was a long day.
That said, the sun was shining, the company was good, I was on holiday rather than in work, and I like the course so much I would be happy to return and play it again.
For a non-resident, food and drink was expensive, but the breakfast, in particular, was delicious.

Great value 5* resort. Course in pristine condition. One of the older courses on the algarve but you'd never have guessed. A varied test for all abilities.....

I played this in April 2010 on one of the annual get aways and it was brilliant, everything was good. I especially liked the 2 courses that were situated on the hotel complex, no need for transfers, the staff were good, they kept your clubs in the locker room so there was no need for lugging them around, excellent, only downside is that I've not been back

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous! This is the 3rd time our Society has visited and has never yet failed to impress. From the moment we arrived till we left the treatment & golf was 5 star throughout. Course layout really good and par threes that are SI 7,9,11 & 14 so good medium irons required from the tee; strategic risk & reward holes too with some long par 4 holes that require good course management if slightly wayward off the tee. Well mature as you would expect and with the backdrop of the Meridien hotel this only encapsulated our enjoyment further. Please, please go you will not be disappointed!

Played this course mid-September 2011. Without doubt one of the most enjoyable days of golf I have had. Paid Euro50 to play a twilight round (after 3o/c) - fantastic value. Some wonderful holes - notably the 5th, 12th and 13th.

As said previous what you expect from a championship course in outstanding condition when we played it in May going back in November and will playing again if only our championship quality courses over here offered the same value for money we would all be greatful but a must play if you want to experince what the pro's play at less than £75 on a pre booked tee time site

Excellent holiday. Managed to get a good deal including free golf onthe championship course each day of the 7 night stay. Can't fault the staff as they couldn't do enough to help. I would advise hiring a car as it is right on the motorway though taxi to local town is only around 10 Euros.
The course is what you would expect for one that has hosted numerous european tour events. In excellent condition and challenging especially if you are a little wayward from the tee. The 13th hole is a fantastic hole, 200 yards from an elevated tee to an island green with only a good shot making it. Definately a must play if in the Algarve.

If you have the oportunity i would highly recomend playing this course. We played the championship course and it was great. The hole course was immaculate. The only down side was the mozzies so make sure you use plenty of repelant as the course is made on drained swamp land
