on Thu, 22nd May 2025 Álamos Golf Course Review – May 2025 Our group of six from the UK played Álamos Golf Course in mid-May, and it offered a very different, but equally enjoyable, experience compared to its sister course, Morgado. Facilities: As with Morgado, the shared facilities are excellent. A full grass driving range, well-maintained short game areas, and a healthy, modern clubhouse that serves great food all contribute to a top-class setup. Whether warming up or winding down, it’s a great base for your round. Course Conditions and Layout: The course was in superb condition during our visit. Compared to Morgado, Álamos is definitely more forgiving off the tee and better suited to higher-handicap golfers. Most par 4s hover around the 300-yard mark, and the par 3s sit around 150 yards from the yellow tees, which makes it more accessible for a range of playing abilities. Challenge and Playability: Don’t let the shorter yardages fool you though—Álamos demands precision. The greens are small and surrounded by run-offs in all directions, meaning that anything less than a sharp short game will be quickly exposed. The greens themselves are tricky, with subtle breaks and undulating surfaces that make putting a true test. Overall Impression: Álamos is a beautifully presented course that complements the longer, more demanding Morgado layout. It’s perfect for golfers looking for a slightly more relaxed round—until you get to the greens! With excellent facilities, great course maintenance, and a layout that rewards accuracy and touch, it’s a must-play if you’re golfing in the Algarve. |

Arie

on Sun, 27th Apr 2025 A real challenge in good condition Very challenging course, lots of variation in holes, in excellent condition, greens very tight with lots of undulation and fast and therefore very difficult. As the only relative minus point I have to mention that on some holes you can't get on the course with the buggy for long stretches and then you have to walk up and down from the path which influences focus. |

Eric

on Fri, 4th Apr 2025 Very enjoyable Course Enjoyed the course and layout . Played it in March and was in good condition overall. Greens were something else, so tricky. They really need to upgrade there buggy paths as you weren't allowed on the fairways |

on Tue, 1st Apr 2025 Somewhat overrated and overpriced. Course is great, cart parts are horrendous, access to area is difficult, facilities are mediocre. Generally seems to be degenerative. |

Michael
from United Kingdom
on Tue, 1st Apr 2025 Terrible buggy paths and almost unplayable greens The course designer decided to make the greens like crazy golf, it feels like playing Augusta, our group thought it was an unfair challenge, when you leave an uphill putt 6 inches short the ball shouldn’t roll back towards you, the greens are simply too tough, also the buggy paths are a disgrace constant pot holes, I left with a sore back due to the paths, the greens need to be slower with those slopes and the paths need fixing |

Simon
from Portugal
on Fri, 25th Oct 2024 Great course, good condition, slow play We really enjoyed our round at Alamos. The staff were great and the course condition was far better than expected given the water shortage in the Algarve. I'm really looking forward to playing the course again (much better fairway grass than other courses in the area). My only issue was the pace of play - some positive marshalling was needed as somewhere up the queue of groups, someone was playing slow and needed to be moved on as we were stacked. |

bryan
from United Kingdom
on Thu, 12th Oct 2023 Greens good but fairways have no grass Probably would be a nice course if there was grass on the fairway. First hole a perfect drive straight down middle for it to keep rolling all way down into the rocks . Not how you want to start. Playing partner hit straight down middle of fairway on 3 other holes and because it was so sparse it was like a pin ball machine a nd the ball nowhere to be seen. Also very long walk between holes. |

on Mon, 2nd Oct 2023 Autumn outing to the Algarve We loved this course and returned having played it last year. The tees and greens were lovely but the fairways were burned to a crisp. The lake by the 1st was empty and dry as a bone, as were all the streams and ponds even the reservoir, I think it's by the 9th was completely empty. I pray the the coming months bring rain to the Algarve. |

on Mon, 18th Sep 2023 Alamos Great course, greens were the best we've played on! Staff were helpful and made it easy for us. Excellent practice area and lovely course to play. Would suggest buggies are a must, quite hilly and few holes was a distance between green to next tee box. Very pleased with our visit. |

Giles

on Wed, 12th Jul 2023 Alamos Review. If I could give it less I would. The staff are really nice there but that's about it. The course is by far the worst I've ever in my life played. The fairways were like concrete and not a patch of grass on them. The golf clubs we hired are the same clubs from 6 years ago. Absolutely brutal. |

on Thu, 8th Jun 2023 Empfehlenswert. Etwas herausfordernd, aber gut zu spielen. Es war eine sehr entspannte Runde, denn es sehr wenig Betrieb. Viele bevorzugen den Morgado Course, der Alamos steht ihm aber in nichts nach. Cart empfehlenswert. |

Josh
from United Kingdom
on Sat, 25th Feb 2023 Shocking One of the worst golf experiences I have ever had! Firstly it is way over priced for what you get, the clubs they give you for rental are 30 years old and it’s not a complete set. Secondly, the play is so slow and nobody lets you through, would have easily been a 5 hour round and thirdly the staff there are so rude! I would never come here again and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. |

Mikko

on Tue, 27th Dec 2022 December golf Course in great condition, friendly service and a lovely environment. The distances between holes are the longest I have ever seen, I would not play here without a buggy. It was fun to play and getting a good deal (two players buggy 1 set for just under 200 euros) means I am not disappointed, even though ithe course is not that special. |

Michiel
from Portugal
on Sat, 17th Dec 2022 Very challenging course, with beautiful scenery Very challenging course, with beautiful scenery. Because the holes are very forgiveness as long as you stay on the fairway. Outside the fairways you can’t find your ball anymore, because of high grass and low growing butter flowers. |

on Tue, 8th Nov 2022 Belle journée Nous avons été bien reçu par le personnel à notre arrivée. Le terrain est en assez bonne condition malgré le manque d’eau, les allées sont bien et donne beaucoup de roulement . Les verts sont très bien, beaucoup d’ondulation et c’est assez difficile d’en faire une bonne lecture. La vitesse de verts est bonne mais pas très rapide. En général nous avons bien apprécié notre journée. |

Willacy
from United Kingdom
on Tue, 25th Oct 2022 Better courses out there Quite a forgiving course for a casual golfer but my god its a trek. No buggies available when we played and felt like miles between holes. Play a bit rushed and generally the course was a bit too busy. We got teamed up with another 2-ball which I suppose is common but we paid a fortune for the experience with green fees, club & trolley hire so we should have been given the choice. No where near as organized as other courses and felt like they were just getting as many round as they could. Sorry wouldn't play there again. |

John
from United Kingdom
on Sat, 17th Sep 2022 Still playable after very long summer You have to take into consideration the drought that this area has experience this year in particular. Yes the majority of the fairways were burnt and without grass but you could not fault the greens or tee boxes which the course openly says they have to prioritise as both dams are dry The course has the felling of being quite compared to others due to the design it’s a pity we did not get the chance to play in its glory as some of the holes would have been stunning. |

Nigel

on Wed, 29th Jun 2022 3 old gits and a young one back in the Algarve We love this course, actually far more that its sister course, Morgado. Alamos has some interesting holes, the views of the Monchique mountains are lovely, it's a challenge for medium and high handicaps, and it's usually very quiet (because most visitors to the region opt for Morgado. They don't know what they're missing! |

Alan
from United States
on Mon, 27th Jun 2022 3 Putting my way to the clubhouse. The course was fairly difficult but the greens were extremely difficult. They undulated, sloped, and ran on some from a front to back pitch. Very hard to land the ball on the green and keep it there. |

on Sat, 4th Jun 2022 Confidence booster course! Was better than expected! There were reviews of slow play but I few through the course. The conditions were good except for most greens were slower than we would like! Shorter course big confidence booster is not a long hitter but most hit it straight on its narrow fairways |

on Tue, 10th May 2022 May 2022 Course in good condition but play was exceptionally slow and the groups in front were not monitored. 5 hours to get round.!!

on Wed, 30th Mar 2022 ? Leider in einem schlechtem Zustand. Das Personal war zudem nicht sehr freundlich. Keine Begrüßung,keine Verabschiedung. Das Übungsgrün war überhaupt nicht zu gebrauchen da das Fairway nicht bewachsen war. Der Kurs ist interessant aber hat auch weite Wege. Bitte nur mit Buggy wenn man nicht gut zu Fuss ist. In meinen Augen gibt es wesetlich bessere Clubs an der Algarve(Hcp:9.0). |

on Fri, 19th Nov 2021 Worst course so far A 5 hour 15 minute round with no rangers in sight. Awful! To add to that misery all the on course washrooms were locked, so not a very friendly course for ladies. Will not be back. |

on Mon, 25th Oct 2021 Alamos Course Very friendly and helpful staff. Course was a little rough around the edges. Not much help in terms of distances when on fairways. Very acceptable greens in good condition. The pathways for the buggy’s were a little dangerous in some areas due to unfinished surfacing. All in all a very enjoyable days golf. |

Lena
Bohman

on Wed, 13th Oct 2021 Too slow! I agree-a marsall is necessary! Very,very slow today! We had to wait at least 10 min on each tee! After 14 holes we gave up, so far we had played for 4 hours and 20 minutes. The condition is not good: very bumpy roads, fairways and greens could be better. |

Lesley
from United Kingdom
on Mon, 27th Sep 2021 Alamos not at its best The course was in poor condition and I found the buggy paths a problem. I have a knee injury which means I need a buggy and with the “entrance “ to the fairway the best part of 200m from the . This meant I had to walk some considerable distance on each hole. I admit I didn’t ask if I could have a blue flag ( I have had this previously at Boavista) which would have allowed me more access to the fairway. I have played Alamos before and the set up was different and the course was in much better condition- not sure I would go back |

Stephanie

on Wed, 2nd Jun 2021 Challenging for a beginner like me Quite a tricky course for me being an inconsistent golfer but I would go again as it was very enjoyable and the scenery is stunning. Very well maintained fairways and greens. |
