Pine Cliffs on Mon, 13th Jan 2020 Pine Cliffs - for a stimulating round of golf Lovely course that allowed my son and I to get back into our golf. Variety of holes allowed us to test our long and short game; accuracy and variety of shots. |

Balaia on Thu, 12th Dec 2019 The course is amazing! A real test of mid iron, short iron, wedges, chipping, putting. Play here enough and your skill can only improve. The greens matched the quality of the more famous courses in the Algarve where you pay 70 euros or more (maybe better). Manicured fairways and bunkers that would not be out of place on any local championship course. This place is looked after and who ever is in charge, knows what there doing. A real pleasure to play. My only negative is there is no 9 hole pricing option and 18 holes at around 30 euros may put some people off for a par 3 course, when 18 holes twilight is available at full length courses for a similar price. I do feel however the quality of the course you are getting pretty much matches the asking price. Here is a summary of the holes, distances from the back tees but second tee option available. The 1st hole eases you in, around 70 yards down hill. Good chance of a 3 if you find the putting surface. 2nd hole was playing 170 yards with the miss being left, trees on the right. I didnt think there would be any holes this long! Mid or long iron or even a wood. A 3 here and you've done amazingily well. The 3rd hole is around 70 yards up hill, hows your wedge distance control? Cross the road onto a seperate bit of land for the next 2 holes. The 4th was playing 180 yards into wind! This is no pitch and putt. OB left and bunker greenside right. Hardest hole on course along side the 2nd. The 5th takes you back running along side the 4th, around 110 yards. OB left, the miss is right. Play to the left of the green and the ball feeds down into the centre of the green. Back over the road and a good chance of par on the 6th. A wedge down hill but there is trouble long. 7 was playing 155 and you can only just see the top of the flag, great looking hole. The miss is left, lots of room. Anything right of the green will kick further right and feed into a hazard and likely be lost. The 8th is slightly up hill playing 140 yards. There is a large tree/shrub feature short right of the green, likely lost ball or unplayable. The miss is long and left. The closing hole is around 100 yards down hill to a mackenzie green, pin position was at the back of green on top tier. OB long. |

Pine Cliffs on Thu, 24th Oct 2019 Pine cliffs-Portugal Not a ‘real ‘ golf course. No par 5’s and only a 9 hole course. Although the par 3 , 6th is a flagship hole!! A nice leisurely walk for a golf beginner and a fantastic starting holiday abroad course for a lady beginner. Also poor rental clubs- Wilson or Cleveland only....thx |

Salgados on Wed, 23rd Oct 2019 Spoilt by the weather Course condition was fine and staff helpful and efficient. Round was at a reasonable pace. Food service a little slow. You have to be able to hit it straight . Had to stop at half way in view of the unforecasted storms but that’s not the golf course’s fault! |

Pine Cliffs on Mon, 21st Oct 2019 Even though this is a nine hole course I would highly recommend it. In great condition and well marshaled. Great course to start your trip on. No buggies but free trolleys |

Salgados on Mon, 21st Oct 2019 Mr Cutler Second time round this course this year, in May the fairways were much better. But after a summer of buggies charging around on an easily walkable course, the wear and tear is now showing. Still a fun course to play and never lost a ball, so I beat the water this time. |

Salgados on Fri, 4th Oct 2019 Hopeful but disappointing Course ok and picturesque but golf was spoiled by playing in a 3-ball behind a large(50 ) society that reduced the round to over 5.5 hours. Post-round, 1 person serving refreshments couldn’t cope with the number of drinkers so after ordering a meal, I was told they had to stop serving food to focus on the bar. Left thirsty and hungry. |

Pine Cliffs on Sun, 29th Sep 2019 You have to play it once in a lifetime... Nice course, rather simple, no par 5, most holes 300-320 meters. The famous hole 6 (over the cliff) is only 135 from the yellow teebox, but the view is spectacular. Quite expensive, and driving range balls are not included (€ 6 for 40 balls). Nice restaurant, friendly staff. |

Pine Cliffs on Sat, 21st Sep 2019 Relaxing and pleasant track but grossly overpriced Course conditioning average, greens pitted with pitchmarks and occasionally poor quality. A relaxing, well laid out track and not over challenging, although two or three testing holes. Green fee extortionate for what you actually get, and whilst a fantastic view from 6th, not enough to get you to return at these rates. |

Salgados on Sat, 21st Sep 2019 Very good but could be first class Good design, well planned, water hazards in play but a fair course for good golf. Greens pitted with so many pitchmarks, reflecting on visitors lack of etiquette rather than course maintenance. Bunkers were poor quality generally and course conditioning could be improved given still growing weather. A very nice course however, worth a visit. |

Salgados on Fri, 20th Sep 2019 Ok if you like water Far too much water hazard, felt like every shot could go in the drink. More water than fairway with half decent shots being punished. Course was in good condition but far too busy, having to wait 10 mins on each tee, which was also probably due too the amount of balls going in the water. I'd say you have to play off single figures to stand any chance of enjoying course. Much better courses in the Algarve. |

Salgados on Sun, 15th Sep 2019 Salgados golf course review Great American style course with lots of challenging holes with water on quite a few holes. Flat course but you need to be able to keep the Ball in play to score. Fast greens but lovely to putt on. A course you have to think your way around. Good short game area and putting greens. No driving range but there is a great practice net where you can warm up your swing. Good bar and restaurant. |

Pine Cliffs on Mon, 9th Sep 2019 Sunday afternoon at Pine cliffs Not really challenging, but relaxing to play on a hot sunny Sunday afternoon. Fairways were good, greens had a lot off pitchmarks and the bunkers looked like they had never been raked before. Staff was friendly, but they worked as to be expected on a Sunday in Portugal. |

Salgados on Wed, 4th Sep 2019 Review Salgados, 3/9/19, 8 players Course itself was a great design but over watered. Staff leave a lot to be desired. Drink / food buggy drove passed us at speed 4 separate times before we could flag him down. Bar service is terrible, which was the same when we last played 2 years ago. No table service, tables not cleared and bar not staffed. Staff sat on phones and when trying to place an order for 8 drinks say that might take a while. |

Pine Cliffs on Wed, 4th Sep 2019 Okay course, but not very challenging. Scenery is nice, the course is not really challenging. Unfortunately, when we arrived it was not possible to warm up by using the driving range , as it was closed for weekly maintenance. If we had known this, we would not have booked this specific tee time. |

Salgados on Tue, 27th Aug 2019 Nice relaxing round Decent course. Lots of water, but pretty much zero rough and very few bunkers. A nice breeze off the coast, so not too hot. I played by myself at 1pm and walked with a trolley (6 euros) - managed to get round in 2 hours 45 mins. The course was really quiet at that time. |
