on Mon, 23rd Sep 2024 A good course . Looked a bit tired in places- but then it hadn’t rained all summer. Think it’s a course you need to play again to get the best out of it. |

on Wed, 18th Sep 2024 Yet another decent Portuguese course Fantastic course with challenging holes, that utilises most of the bag. With well kept greens Great views along the way A good enough range and putting area to get warmed up before the round are available. Reasonably priced. Food available looked great Shall always be remembered as I managed to hit my first hole in one on the 6th 😁 |

Dave

from United Kingdom
on Mon, 22nd Apr 2024 Almost good, need some love and a price reduction Having played Espiche two days before and this being more expensive, we were a little disappointed in Boavista. It has some lovely holes but others not so and seemed in average condition. The practice area was particularly poor with the putting green a shambles. It seemed like many of the greens had suffered the same issue and not much thought was given to moving the pins away from the poorer areas. In addition, the bunkers were just dreadful, not much sand, very hard and full of stones. On the plus side, the holes over the ravine are quite spectacular, particularly the par 3 to a raised green with a large step in it. We had lots of time to consider his hole as over a 10-minute wait on the tee - why oh why are this and the other long par-3 (14th) not call-up holes? All in all, a decent track with some good holes but let down by the condition, waiting times in the tees and overpriced compared to other courses in the region. |
David
from United Kingdom
on Sat, 20th Apr 2024 Good course Fairways in good order. Greens look to be suffering from an infection but playable. Some of the bunkers need topping up with fresh sand. Tee boxes aren’t in great shape. Well run course and sensibly timed order of play so you’re not being chased ! |
John

on Mon, 15th Apr 2024 Fair golf course and in good condition. But a slow round of golf in buggies. 4hr45mins |

on Mon, 8th Apr 2024 BoaVista was a great Warm welcome and the course was in very good condition. Very slow play and would have preferred to play as a 2 ball as were partnered with very high handicappers but they tried their best to keep up with time. |
Andrea
from Portugal
on Wed, 21st Feb 2024 Driving Range closed Very big disadvantage: the driving range has been closed for months due to broken side nets! This means that you can only practice short game or putting with Luis Espadinha, the PRO - which is a real shame! It's also not possible to practice tee shots before the round - really bad! The golf course is fantastic - challenging terrain with numerous wonderful views of Lagos and the bay. |

on Sat, 29th Oct 2022 Disappointing Holes run up and down hill through a growing estate of holiday homes. Some views of Lagos and the coast. A number of the holes are impressive to look at, especially those crossing a ravine. Fairways were in ok condition. Most teeing areas were in poor condition. Many of the greens were distressed and with bare patches and very uneven. Round took well over 4.5 hours. |

on Tue, 25th Oct 2022 Boa Vista - Dreadful quality Very poor quality greens, bunkers were unplayable and should have been GUR. Many areas also unplayable and not marked GUR. Driving range facility appalling. Staff didn't really seem to care about our experience |
Alistair

on Sun, 24th Jul 2022 Great course in perfect condition Great course, would recommend booking buggy’s prior to save money, the buggy’s are fitted with GPS tracker which gives yardage from every point on the course automatically. Great holes such as a par 3 across a huge ravine! 10/10 would recommend if coming from UK/abroad |
WILLIAM
from United Kingdom
on Mon, 4th Jul 2022 pleasurable course. Lovely course well maintained, Development work around some parts of the course but this takes nothing away from the pleasure of the course, unlike other courses we played this course is marshalled and the only one we played in our week in Portugal and it helped as we had a bad experience on an other course earlier on in the week, kept things moving and made sure everyone playing respected other people on the course, If we had played this on our first day we would have returned to play it again but this was our last round before we returned home, Played it on the summer saver and this made it affordable as not the cheapest course to play, We can't wait to return to play it again and may look at staying on the course next trip. |
Nigel
from United States
on Wed, 29th Jun 2022 3 old gits and a young one back in the Algarve Looking at past reviews, many would disagree but we think that this is the best course in the Western Algarve. Its opening and closing holes meander between the resort's villas, whilst the middle holes are in more open countryside where old farm buildings add to the scenery. Well maintained and a fair test for all handicaps. |
Karl
from United Kingdom
on Tue, 28th Jun 2022 Way too slow, 5 hours to go round. Restricted buggy areas so more walking than expected. |
Matt

on Mon, 13th Jun 2022 Bush league Good: Course was in great shape! Had a blast playing and wish we could have for longer. Bad: Reserved a 2 round package for 2 adults, but came up as 2 ppl, one round, and 1 buggy. Was assured at the clubhouse that it would be a better deal if we wanted to play another 18, but it wasn't. After inquiring to play another 18, they wanted to charge us for another club rental and another shoe rental also. We were told nothing of shoe rental on their website and the clubs I received were graphite shaft junior clubs from another course. Fair enough its hard to find left handed clubs in portugal but still would expect more or at least a reservation option on the website. Terrible management style. We bought golf shirts, balls, beers, and food but they would not accommodate club and shoe rental for same day golf. Only reason I give it 2 stars is because some of the locals felt bad for our situation and gave us a shuttle back to town. Losing a couple passionate golfers for no reason at all.... |
Michael
on Fri, 20th May 2022 Efficient buggy pickup. Tee time management excellent. Clubhouse as good as always |
William
from United Kingdom
on Fri, 13th May 2022 Excellent course and clubhouse Played twice. A fair course with many excellent holes. A good challenge for most players. 2 nd day we played it took 5 hours, something not right there . Should be about 4 hours at most. Too many poor players and not enough Marshalls would be my guess. We played at 12.30 and damage was done earlier in the day on a few holes there were 2 groups and on one hole 3 groups on the tee. Good range of goods in shop and the staff in clubhouse very helpful and friendly . We had played here earlier in week and enjoyed it |

on Fri, 22nd Apr 2022 Challenging but interesting Front 9 are pretty steep and I was missing a cart. Pretty rough country look kind of feeling. Back 9 are nice - with beautiful landscaping and still interesting. E-buggies are good - and for EUR 20 recommendable. Service at reception appeared not really friendly - but anyhow. |
JACK
from Portugal
on Wed, 13th Apr 2022 Nice course. Boavista is a fun course, maybe with too many elevation changes and uneven lies for novice golfers. It is in very good condition for the Algarve with greens running fast and true. Given the season, our 4 1/2 hour round was acceptable - no Marshalls out on the course. GPS in carts, decent although somewhat rigorous walk. Soon, it will be surrounded by well kept houses, which is not ideal. |
Lars
Hermanson

on Wed, 6th Apr 2022 Poor condition at Tee, fairway and greens. Compare to other courses its not good. Driveways are extremely Bumby.. And to many holes are blind. |
Darius

on Wed, 6th Apr 2022 Fabulous layout and underrated course I found this golf course among the very best I played. Maybe its only me, but I like the layout winding between villas. I was thrilled by rugged terrain and especially hole No.6. Water hazards in pristine condition, with fountains and so appealing to the eye. It is definitely underrated golf course |
Frans
from Netherlands
on Mon, 4th Apr 2022 Boavista spacious and boa! The playa and alvor were played. Playa gives a links course feeling. Most holes near by the ocean. Fairways very short and dry. Greens ok. Alvor more inland and hilly. Fairways more grass and good greens. Nice lay out in the hills. Kind starters and nice overlooking clubhouse. |

Martin
from United Kingdom
on Thu, 18th Nov 2021 Great clubhouse food staff and facilities. In my opinion the course doesn't match the resort set up that's surrounded by beautiful properties. The course is hilly and has a number of blind shots and would probably be better enjoyed if played a second time when you knew your way round the course. Greens weren't in great condition though in fairness I think they had recently had work done on them and am sure they would normally be good. Some fine holes great panoramic views but some blind shots as well. |

Martin

on Fri, 24th Sep 2021 Excellent facilities and decent course. Very good facilities and clubhouse. The course is harder than it looks with water and hidden ravines, the semi rough is high and the fairways heavily watered, so no roll. However overall a good course and nice lunch on the terrace. |
Andrew
from Portugal
on Thu, 16th Sep 2021 Strange staff Course and people in pro shop very good . But greens very bad due to a local problem. Which happens. But I gave the low rating because the staff in the bar restaurant were so strange. Rude but sarcastic and nice all at same time . |
