What the club says: Pinheiros Altos was originally designed by the American Ronald Fream and borders the Natural Park of Ria Formosa, which provides a habitat for many species of birds and vegetation. Peter McEvoy and Howard Swan later redeveloped it into a highly original and distinctive course, with two sets of nine holes that possess completely opposing characteristics. Pinheiros Altos provides a real golfing challenge, where brain is infinitely more useful that brawn. The first nine winds its way over and through pine-clad, rolling countryside. The second nine drops down into a valley bottom, where intrusive lakes provide a test of accuracy and skill.

Some really challenging holes
Really enjoyed playing the Pines and Corks courses (so missed out on "Olives"). I had a great round, so obviously loved it. The two courses are intertwined, so some walking between greens and tees was required but there are some very long 5s, 7th/8th on Corks are very long, so save some energy for them. Some of the greens and paths were showing signs of neglect, but overall in very nick. Staff and food excellent!!(Round played: Dec 2020 - Score: 90 Handicap: 19.9)

Great course, all 3 nines are different and some challenging holes. Greens in good condition. Long hitters can potentially get a good score. 8th and corks is a beast of a hole, a proper par 5. Food and drinks are good, staff are very friendly and accommodating. I go every year and look forward to it. Not as a big a name as some of the other courses in the area but well worth a visit.

Outstanding and challenging course
A beautiful and well presented golf course. Quite demanding with some fabulous but tricky water hazards. Tight fairways and lightning fast but true greens. Very busy in mid Feb so took 4.5 hrs to complete. Beautiful clubhouse; super views.Reviewer Rating

A good all round test of golf
A very playable and enjoyable layout and would play again for sure.One thing: the category in my course ratings: "did the holes follow a continuity?" would be rated down as there seemed to be a bit of a mix within the nines.
