Pine Cliffs
An excellent 9 hole course.Service at the complex very professional. The ideal course to play if you don't want to play a full 18 holes

Nice course shame about some selfish players
Lovely little 9 hole course. Greens are fast and course is well maintained. Only issue is some players were not raking bunkers etc so course etiquette was poor. Was a shame as not the ground staff’s fault. The devils parlour is a great hole.

Wear shoes with spikes
Very nice golf course with magnificent scenery on hole 6 and 7. It was very disturbing that we were not allowed to start without spikes. We had to rent a pair of shoes for 15 euro. We were Informed about this rule when we were about to tee off. Behind us, I saw several people without spikes. Nobody rakes bunkers by the way.

Unique and well kept course, but overbooked
Its a very beautiful unique and well kept course, but the management overbooks the course too much. You are paired with other players and there is queuing.

Wonderful and exciting course
Too many golf players and therfore too long waiting time at the tees.

Interesting little 9 hole.
Interesting but (very) short course.

A true par 3 course: a test of your short game.
Balaia is a true par 3 course. Beautifully laid out over and along the sides of a stream and pond. Anything other than an accurate drive and you’re going to struggle to make par. Pines, bamboo, reeds water hazards and bunkers punish a wayward shot.

The pace on the corse was good and we completed 18 holes (twice around the nine holes, in just over 2 hours. Great way to check out your shirt game.

Would Happily Return
We have just played Salgados in breezy conditions and absolutely loved it. Greens were as good as anywhere we’ve played and would happily go back and play again. Lots of water to avoid but on most holes there is also plenty of width.

Not much to be happy about
I knew it was a par 3 course but layout is very cramped and almost dangerous at times with adjoining fairways and backtracking to t boxes in some instances. Greens are small and fast. T boxes in poor condition. rental clubs were OK but longest club was a 6 iron which was not enough for me to reach a few holes. Pro shop not very helpful. Range balls are disgrace. Low end course at best. Restaurant and bar closed for renovations.

Bonus round of golf
Par 3, 9 hole course with option to play 18. Friendly, relaxed and helpful staff. Nice setting and clubhouse/bar/restaurant/ facilities.

Course itself was in reasonable condition set in undulating ground and heavily tree lined. Some challenging holes with distances ranging from 75yds to 160yds approx. Small greens with a good surface for putting. Fairly easy walk with a pull trolley.

Good fun little course. Good for a warm up before playing bigger courses.

Just a long pitch and putt course, but was in good condition, but very slow, got a good deal ( or I thought I did) until I tried the clubs, PW and SW grips were in a really poor state ( see photos) but at least the weather was good.

Salgados Golf
Course in very good condition even after the heavy rain.

Couple of minor bad points, .while playing behind 2 members they were VERY slow, I had to wait at every green and tee box, when I asked to play through I was met with verbal abuse and hand gestures, thankfully they only played 9 holes,

2. When i reached the 10 tee box, again had to wait, as they let players start their round there, got stuck behind 3 four balls. But everything else was good.

Hi Michael, is Salgados a walkable course or is a buggy required?

Wasserplatz Salgados
Der Platz ist in gutem Zustand, bis auf die Grüns. Diese sind sehr holprig, vermutlich durch die vielen nicht ausgebesserten Pitchmarken. Durch das viele Wasser sollte man mit einer Menge Bälle ausgestattet sein. Driving Range ist nicht vorhanden, die eigenen Bälle können in ein Netz geschlagen werden. Die Natur abseits der Fairways ist eine Augenweide mit vielen verschiedenen Vögeln.

Nice course, well maintained with a good variety of holes. Played 18-holes in 4hr which was welcome. Only disappointment with the rental clubs which were old and of very poor quality. Club administrators and marshals we excellent. Would not hesitate to return and play the course again.

To many players on the course who are not able to
The course was in an good condition, the staff around have been very friendly and helpfull. But: The course was totaly overcrowdet because they let to many players on the course who don't have a handicap or a permission to play golf on a regular golf course. That means: It is occasionally dangerous on the course because of many misshits. The distances on the course between tee and green are a little bit short.

Overcrowded.
A good, fun, fairly challenging course with all the water, but way too busy! Lots of 5-6 balls allowed to play, large number of groups all turning up with a 12pm tee time and just joining a big queue for the 1st. Once going it was OK, but not well organised and the Marshalls didn’t appear to want to do anything about it.

Poor rental clubs cost me today to whippy
3 stars for the course especially the greens in excellent condition. Club hire poor a set if spalding clubs most people were getting nike or decent brand. Other issue booked a one ball had to play with 3 others as course was busy but great set of lads on their first golf holiday

Our day on the links
Tough but fun course, a low slope rating for some unknown reason. Weather was great, but wish we saw the beverage cart more often (but maybe that is us). We rented the clubs, but need to buy the balls and tees. Clubs are all the same length.

It's a 1 hole course
It's an executive course, nice for a quick 9 hole round. But if golf schools are out it can be boring. Very shot, the spectacular tee box on hole 5 is gone. Hole 6 is the signature holt over a canyon, but from the back tees you barley see the target.

Amazing experience playing 9 holes here on the Algarve. This was a 5 star hotel / gold club course was in superb condition. As expected prices were on the high side at the bar / shop but for 9 holes only €45 pre booked.

Great short course for mixed abilities.
Great little par 3 course for our stag party. Nice mix with some challenging and easier holes for the mixture of golfers we had in the group. Greens ran really well and food after the round in the clubhouse was good!

Great Course, poor loan clubs
On arrival we checked in and collected the buggy and loan clubs quickly. The loan clubs were very disappointing. They were a mix of brands mainly Nike clubs from circa 2000 , irons had graphite and steel shafts. The course was difficult with water along the fairways. It was very windy which added to the difficulty. The course was in fabulous condition. Loved the par 5 sixth. Would definitely play again but not hire the golf clubs from the course.

The course was immaculately kept and the staff at the clubhouse were very helpful and friendly. The course itself is tricky in places, you have to be on your A game from the start. Very impressed, and would definitely recommend!

Slow plat Solgados
I have played here before and the course is just ok, however it was packed with what I Will described as non golfers so the round took in excess of 5hrs to play.

I would describe the course as a very average municipal venue.

I will not be rushing back

Pleasant staff and short but testing Par 3 Course. We hired the clubs but be aware the longest club in the bag is a 6-iron which will be too short for many players on the longer homes. Good bar and food.

Pine Cliffs on Mon, 19th Jun 2023
Really lovely greens and course layout was great but bunker condition and pace of play were disappointing.

Also some players were struggling to hit the ball therefore it looked to me like some had never played golf before.

All in all a good day although really busy mid morning.

twilight in Nau courses
I have booked three tee times on Salgados, Morgado and Alamos , in twilight with your site.

it was not specified that it was no longer possible to play after 8 p.m

it is a bit of a shame, because we weren't able to do the entire course

Water everywhere
Course was in average condition.

Lots of water to loose balls but a good test of golf.

Great views and fairly flat course to walk.

Lovely little course which is well maintained. Very friendly for non-handicapped players who want to practice their irons and short game.

Difficult course even harder my a cross wind. Saturday was a busy day so time around the front nine was slow. Back nine we had the course to ourselves.

A real challenge
Good course , lots of challenges and when the wind is blowing off the sea it’s very difficult . Good greens and general condition is very good given the lack of rain
