Course Information
Perfectly complementing the Faldo Course, whilst taking advantage of the rich valley soil in contrast to the arid hillside, Christy O'Connor Jnr's course at Amendoeira offers no less of a challenge. Large areas of water demand accurate play and creative shot making, and these lakes and streams are to be maintained as a wildlife sanctuary.
18 holes | Par 72 | 6708m yards |

Another superb course, tough for a beginner but hey, you have to give it your best shots. A lot of water, streams, lakes etc and lost count of balls sunk. Think the fish are pushing them around but thoroughly enjoyed.

Extensive facilities available with three courses - O'Connor, Faldo and Par 3 floodlight course. Bot O'Connor and Faldo are challenging courses especially with high winds and golf buggies highly recommended as extensive walks between greens and next tee.
Apartments excellent - large and well finished. Club house nice and reasonable food.
Taxi or car required for any off property restaurants required.

Reviewed Mar 3 2016
this is a reasonably interesting course considering it could easily be another forgettable resort course, but there are several holes that are memorable. Overall in good condition despite the heavy use. Some holes can play very long into the wind. Despite being longer on the score card as the sister faldo course, it doesn't play as long as faldo. Superb practice facilities. Green fees are expensive, but if you get it as part of a stay

Very nice course - forgiving in places and challenging in others, a good second course, but the Faldo is the better course (but much tougher)

Reviewed Jun 22 2015
Played the O'Connor course last week and many of the holes were pretty 'samey'. You have to be able to drive the ball well - fairways are forgiving - and some holes are long. With accuracy the water is not in play. Fairways good, bunkers not and the greens were terrible due to them having been sanded. I was told on reception the greens had been maintained the week before but think they must have been done a couple of days before; it was like putting on a beach and ruined the round. If I had known this in advance I would have played elsewhere. Good test of golf (played to my handicap of 11) but I preferred the challenge of the tree-lined courses eg. the great Old course in Vilamoura.

Enjoyed this course, pretty open generous fairways but with plenty of water on many of the holes to make you think. Course was in good condition, fairways manicured lovely, greens good but slow and tee boxes a little battered but what you expect from the amount of traffic the course has. My only gripe was the practice green, as this was far quicker than the actual greens we played,it was as if they had cut that earlier in the day and forgot to cut the other 18!
The clubhouse is definitely worth staying for a beer after as it has magnificent views over both courses.
I would like to come back to play the Faldo but would be looking for a deal, we paid 87 euros for a twilight round and even thought that was pretty pricey compared to others around the algarve

Simply stunning. Course is filled with water as a pose to the Faldo which is more sand. But as with courses in the Oceanico group Perfect tee boxes. Lush fairways and pure true greens.

Reviewed Sep 28 2014
Very nice course with excellent facilities. Although expensive, the luxurious facilities feel wonderfully unfussy (an extremely pleasant change compared to some Algarve courses where you are viewed with disdain or as a piece of meat).
The course is quite long and fairly hard with large amounts of water. The rough was very short, so any wayward shots tended to find a hazard. The condition of the bunkers was a little questionable, but the fairways and greens were in superb condition. Indeed, the fairways were better than some greens I've played in Portugal.
Our group was fairly evenly split between a preference for the Faldo or O'Connor course. Both are excellent and recommended.
