Lovely course up on the hill
Really fun course, beautiful clubhouse, worth a visit it if happy to travel a little further from Vilamoura (about 50mins). Greens ran very true and good pace too.(Round played: Aug 2021 - Score: 97 Handicap: 21.4)

Not as brutal as some might tell you
Some of my club colleagues had visited Espiche before my visit and told me it was virtually unplayable if you missed the fairway. Admittedly, if your radar is off, you will lose a few balls but you need to be pretty wild to be reloading. I thought it was great. Some tough holes and some holes where you're best to leave the driver in the bag, but that's part of the fun isn't it? Real test of strategy and accuracy and just keeping the ball in play. And the greens were superb. Apparently, they are also growing areas of rough to make the course even more playable over the next few months and that will save a few more balls from hurtling into the areas where they will never be seen again. It's a course which certainly focuses the mind standing on the tees though.Reviewer Rating

A lovely looking but tough track
Great golf course, albeit a very tough one. Course is in a great condition, with the greens beautiful and lively.Lovely looking clubhouse and very friendly staff there. Just wish that the breakfast menu could be a bit more extensive, and similar to the breakfasts that they used to produce.

By far and away the best golf course I’ve played, challenging but definitely potential for low scores. Back 9 far harder than front

I am a high handicapper at 20 but you leave the course wanting to play again.
They are making improvements to the course after listening to the members and guests.
Building banks to stop the ball running off.
Very playable even for me (scored 34 points)
A challenge but surely thats want you need to improve your game.
Club house and food excellent,
play this course as very reasonable.!!

Great addition to courses at the western end of the Algarve. Very picturesque course up in the hills above the village of Espiche, about 6 kms west of Lagos. Only about three years old but the owners have spent a huge amount of money getting it right. Fabulous new clubhouse with extremely friendly and efficient staff throughout - food pretty good and great value too.
As has already been said, off the fairway and there are lots of bushes to grab your ball, but keep it on the fairway, and a really good test of golf. Quality fairways and tees, and large, undulating greens which really test a good putting stroke also in very good condition when we played mid June.
It's quite hilly, and some long distances between greens and tees, buggy recommended unless feeling pretty fit! Will definitely play again.
