Vale do Lobo Ocean by Einar from Portugal
The fourth star for the Ocean holes!
Very modest start but second nine are really good with nice views!
Shop and restaurant what is expected. Staff friendly and service minded even if service in restaurant was slow.

Victoria by bernard from United Kingdom
Good but far too busy
A course in good condition with excellent greens but they simply let too many play . We were a 4ball teeing off at 1.30 - the 2 ball in front hit their 1st shots and 2 nd ones approx 50 yards each ! I understand the need to make money after covid closures but !!! To be fair they kept ahead of us - just, by the time we got to the 9th it was stacked up and on the long par 5 there were 5 groups playing the hole . The poor 2 ball behind us walked off around the 13th . We played 17&18 in complete darkness and I parred the 18th so now I play with permanent dark glasses !! Thank god we payed 79 euro and not the 130 daytime green fee .

Old Course by Jack from United Kingdom
Quality greens and hole design.
Excellent greens, very true roll. I liked a lot of the shorter par 4's, you have to play sensible tee shots to leave a good chance in. Inviting first hole downhill, some great looking par 3's. You can see why this has held pro tournaments as from the tees looking out onto the fairways, the design is there to see. Bunkers immaculate, tees well used but good, lots of traffic over peak months. Fairways great. Would recommend! Walked with a trolley, some up and down bits so buggy may be more suitable if you don't like some walking up slope. Distance between tees not an issue, majority are close by.
Greens and hole design stand out here.

Vale do Lobo Royal by bernard from United Kingdom
Early bird fly round 3hrs 15 mins
A pleasant course in great condition -definitely the better of the 2 at Val do Lobo. All was going well all day apart from the 2 par 3s which unfortunately were card wreckers for both me and my playing partner-slight wrong choice of club on one and a ball still travelling to USA on the other.
Let down a little by the 18th which does not even end up near the clubhouse.
