What the club says: Vale da Pinta - Designed by the famous American golf course architect Ronald Fream and inaugurated in 1992 Vale da Pinta has earned its place as one of the best designed courses in the Algarve and in Europe.
Gramacho Golf Course - After his success designing the Vale de Pinta course, Ronald Fream teamed up with the former world No. 1 Nick Price to create the unique design of Gramacho. With 18 holes and 27 greens, plus numerous different tee points, players are able to enjoy the same course time and time again but always with slightly different challenges.

Nice Course and well worth a visit
Really nice course, unfortunately the greens let it down in this visit as they had a lot of weeds present, but apart from that the course was in good condition.Reviewer Rating

Nice course worth playing
Second time playing La Pinta, course in good condition, very quiet. A bit fiddly in places, not always a driver off the tee. Greens good, rolled well if a little hard to read. Nice clubhouse for after round pint.Reviewer Rating

played Pinta and Gramacho courses, Both very different, They are challenging but not overly difficult. The only slight problem we had. is that, we had pre booked buggies prior to travelling and when we arrived at the courses, We were told that buggies were not guaranteed. due to numbers. We did actually get buggies but it would have been a problem. if we had not.

Gramacho was in pretty good condition for our early May visit. Greens, fairways, tee boxes and bunker all looking good and clearly well maintained. The staff are excellent and happy to have a laugh and joke with the patrons. We played as a fourball and managed to get two buggies, pace of play (14:30 tee off) was good and the course was a good level for hcps 14 - 26. Highly recommended for any tour to the area.

Vale da Pinta is a challenging course for the golf beginner. On Gramacho a different type of fairway grass which produced no bounce and roll, despite 29 degree temperatures in September.

Kept in fine condition
Despite the difficulties of the pandemic and the puerile UK government manoeuvring, Pestana have done a splendid job in keeping the course at its best.Reviewer Rating

Great courses
Both of these courses offer challenge but are different. Well kept and Gramacho is the prettier of the two, with lovely features. But would play both again. Fairways and greens in good condition, which is saying something as it is getting to the end of summer. Well watered.Reviewer Rating

Amazing Golf Resort - Go there !
Gramacho and Vale da Pinta are two adjacent courses which are part of the Pestana Golf Resort. There are other courses associated with Pestana but these two are next to the residences where most people stay. Gramacho is the best in my opinion, a fantastic layout and a lovely first hole to start your round. The quality of the greens was amazing and the fairways were like carpets. Vale da Pinta is a harder slog, lots of climbs and the walk from 18 to the clubhouse is a killer up hill ... but you have to play it just for hole 13 ... can you reach the green ??Reviewer Rating
