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.

Pretty good

We played both Gramacho and Vale Da Pinta and have to say they were in pretty good condition. some of the greens were a little wooly in places but they did roll true. Three altogether enjoyable rounds. Would be nice to see the drinks cart more as it was 28 degrees!

Great course

Very nice course, lovely to play but the pace of play is so slow. We waited on every hole without exception and there was one par 3 where there were 3 groups visible.

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.

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.

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.

Really good course large open fairways from the tee so allows you to make yourself right if you hit a poor tee shot.

Beautiful and challenging courses. Not a 10 as some greens were a bit patchy
High recommended despite that. That was my fifth visit
