Interesting course always in tip-top condition. Not too hilly so could be walked comfortably and the playing time was around 4hrs 30, started a little slowly but sped up around the turn. Greens very good. The 18th has to be one of the best finishing holes in the area, risk and reward at its best!

A tough test off the back tees, but comfortable from the tees of the day. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition when we played. Plenty of water to gobble up your balls, particularly on the back nine. The only negative was the time to play, it was 5hrs10 for us which is clearly unacceptable and felt extremely slow. The second time this year for us. The marshalls must do a better job with slow groups holding the course up. Do not book a tee-time within 5hrs of sunset!

This place is all about the service. When we played the course was in fairly average condition with scrappy fairways and greens having been fertilised. It is a great golf course though, but not the best in Portugal. Such a shame the surrounding foliage has been damaged by wildfires in recent years. The service though is un-paralleled in Europe. From the bag drop, free buggies, plenty of visits from the buggy bar, to the superb pro-shop, friendly staff and excellent bar, you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend paying €5 extra for the post round tapas, which is basically a 3 course meal!

The oldest and probably still the best in the Algarve. The course was in magnificent condition when we played it, the greens were superb and fairways lovely to play from. Its such a great test of golf, I highly recommend playing off the back tees for low handicap golfers. The clubhouse is a little tired but staff were friendly and all in all it was the most enjoyable day of our 5 day trip.
