Alto Golf Course Review – May 2025 During our mid-May golf trip to the Algarve, a group of six of us from the UK had the pleasure of playing Alto Golf Course. While the course itself offers a distinct and challenging layout, it was the people that made our day truly memorable. Service and Hospitality: From the moment we arrived, the staff at Alto were outstanding. From the friendly and helpful woman in the pro shop to the caddy master, starter, and bar staff—everyone we encountered was welcoming and went out of their way to ensure we had a great experience. The hospitality here is truly top-notch. Clubhouse & Facilities: The clubhouse is inviting and relaxed, with an outdoor seating area that overlooks the approach and green of the 18th hole. It’s a lovely place to wind down after your round, enjoy a drink, and take in the final action on the course. Course Layout and Challenge: Alto is a tight, tree-lined course that demands accuracy and smart course management. It’s not overly long, but definitely rewards a strategic approach. The fairways are narrow and framed by mature trees, requiring precise tee shots. The greens are small, and positioning into them is critical—approaching from the wrong angle often leaves a very difficult up-and-down. Playability: This is very much a plotter’s course. It’s ideal for golfers who enjoy shaping shots, managing risk, and thinking their way around the layout. If you like target golf and a good mental test, Alto delivers. Minor Downside: The only negative during our round was some tree maintenance being carried out between two fairways. Unfortunately, it looked quite hazardous for the workers, as they were positioned well within tee shot range from two holes. Hopefully this is addressed for safety going forward, as it was a concern during play. Overall Impression: Despite the brief disruption, Alto Golf Course was a fantastic experience. It offers great value for money, a warm and friendly atmosphere, and a course layout that rewards smart play. We’ll definitely be returning on our next trip to the Algarve.

Many groups of very poor golfers causing very slow play preceded us. We should be advised at time of reservation when large organized groups(tournaments) are scheduled to play ahead and risks of shortage of buggies.

Should be better soon

Once debris from storm in between fairways is removed, course will be more pleasurable to play.
