A bit fiddly, not sure I'd play there again. Never like joining various 9s to make an 18.

This course is made up of three loops of 9 holes. We played the Corks and the Olives.
In general, the condition of the course was very good. The greens were a little sandy but still quite quick and gave a true roll.
The nature of the two nines are very different. The Corks is extremely heavily tree lined with canopies of the trees narrowing the fairways substantially, although still giving some chance of recovery. The land rolls gently.
The Olives quite flat, but with large expanses of water in play on most holes. The stand-out holes being the 600 yard par 5 with a pond in play on the left for about 400 yards, and the short par 3 to an island green.
Service at the clubhouse was friendly and polite but rather slow. The kitchen was clearly overloaded with the number of orders it was receiving.
Would be very happy to play this course again.

Superb facilities; large putting green, chipping/bunker green, driving range with greens and pyramids of balls! Course was in fantastic condition. All holes were intriguing. Not very difficult or long so good for all handicaps.

Very nice course, in excellent condition (although new holes were a bit dry in comparison). A great mix of holes, some very visually appealing. A course that requires good golf management, driver not always the shot from the tee. Thoroughly enjoyable round, would definately return.

Trevor, Dorking rated 4 out of 5
Reviewed Apr 27 2012
Played Corks/Olives mid-April with 3 mates. Mixed feelings about this one - thought that the majority of the course was good fun and a challenge, with lots of interesting holes. Hole 1 of the Sobreiros (Corks) loop is one of the most scenic tees in the Algarve and of course hole 8 of the Olives is good fun. The tee shot on the 1st hole of the Olives loop is also quite daunting and looks very picturesque.
Not as good as the QDL courses in terms of general condition and it did have some bland holes on both sets of 9 holes. However, for the price, it is good value (especially as we used the early bird offer) and I would play this again.
Would maybe try and play the Pines loop as I believe this has more of the original layout than Corks, where the new holes lack any character and excitement.
