on Tue, 1st Jul 2025 Gramschap. Good maintained only the greens are very slow, too much sand. It is a pity that there is now outlay in the golfcourse. So for a new golfer is it difficult to see where your drives have to go. |

on Sun, 25th May 2025 Lauri from Finland Nice round with good company (wife) in good weather. The course was in good condition, however some bunkers were not in as good condition as they could have been (hard sand). The course was mostly empty in front of us so quite fast round 3,5hrs even with carry-on bags without buggy. Overall good value for money and I highly recommend to visit Gramacho! |

on Tue, 29th Apr 2025 Rude and disrespectful staff I played Gramacho today. We had a terrific day playing with lovely people from France. Unfortunately, after the 18 hole, the guy managing buggies, stop us on our way to drop our clubs, an with a rude and eccessivery automative tone, told us BUGGY STAY HERE. I tried to explain that our car is far away and my neck was too soar to carry my clubs to the car. He rudely cut me off and raise even further his voice and said again BUGGY STAY HERE. I try again to explain my situation and before I could event start, with the same disrespectful tone, he repeated BUGGY STAY HERE. Without thinking I just said run after me and continued my route to drop my clubs. He was so committed to his power trip that he tried to stop the buggy with his arm. Lucky enough, he did not hurt himself. That was in my opinion a very dangerous move on his part. Half way, I decided to stop, considering that my impulsive decision wasn't appropriated. When he reached me, he continued with the same disrespectful tone and aggressively remove the key from the buggy. I should not have argued with him; my 5 feet wife had more wisdom and carried the two club bags alone to the car. She was very angry and told me that I should not have stoped and that my reaction to run away was way more appropriate due to his excessive lack of respect. I disagreed as a consider disrespect not to be that right answer to disrespect. If I would not have reacted promptly, this wonderful day would not have been ruined. That being said, I would not recommend Gramacho. In spite of the quality of the course, there are plenty of great golf courses in Algarve that treats their guests to make them feel like guests. PS: In 20 years of golf in Canada, Mexico and other countries, I have always done my best to follow the rules, ethics and guidances and hope to enjoy another 20 years doing the same. Thanks, Martin Kearney |

on Mon, 31st Mar 2025 Nice Course Never played Gramacho before but what a pleasant surprise. The course was in good condition and we were paired with 2 guys from Essex who we had a good laugh with. Twilight round - managed to get round 16. Unfortunately too dark to play 17 & 18 which look great holes. Quite a quirky course and very undulating with a few blind shots. No 2 holes the same so an interesting round. Greens are slopey and quite tricky! |

Clive

on Sun, 30th Mar 2025 Good course spoiled by slow play. Course was in good condition, although the pace of play was very slow. Course marshals did not not appear to be doing anything about exceptionally slow play. would not recommend a midday/later starting time. |

on Tue, 18th Jun 2024 One of the nicest courses I and my wife have played. From the professionalism of the bar staff to the excellent attention from the golfing staff, we fully enjoyed the experience and will definitely recommend the course to friends. It is easy to find some fault but for the cost of a round of golf, in a buggie on such an, obviously, well cared for course, they don’t come much better than Gramacho. Thankyou for the experience. Thankyou. |

from United Kingdom
on Tue, 26th Mar 2024 Gramacho Gramacho is a nice golf course, lots of different designed holes, plenty of good looking holes from high tees and most fairways are very generous. As with most Algarve courses, greens are overplayed by people who don’t repair pitch marks (not the courses fault) and the greens are undulating ….very fast and very tricky. |
|
David
from United Kingdom
on Fri, 22nd Mar 2024 Gramacho Staff friendly. The course is hilly & tricky with a lot of “blind” shots off the silver tees. It could do with a map of the hole on each tee with some yardages so you know where to go & what club to hit. |

Course in reasonable condition considering the time of year,. Quite a tough course to walk which is why we saw lots of golfers in buggies. |

There were some very interesting holes but overall it’s not especially challenging. My playing partner and I both scored well. It’s the 5th or 6th time I’ve played Gramacho and I’ll definitely be back again. |

on Sat, 12th Aug 2023 Poor conditions and surly staff I’m not someone who typically takes the time to write reviews, however, following my round at Gramacho (one of the Pestana, courses) this week, I am compelled to do so. I am fortunate to live in the US and to have played many good courses over the years. I have heard much about the great golf in the Algarve and was excited to play at Gramacho. Unfortunately, this course fell woefully short of my expectation. Firstly, the greens were shaggy, bumpy, slow and just in really poor condition. Secondly, the service and hospitality was poor. The staff seemed rather unhappy and were unhelpful and cold. Also, this part of Portugal is often >90F at this time of year, and the day we played was no exception. There is not a single water station on the entire course!!!!! A guy stopped by twice to sell us small bottles of water. Not only was that not often enough, selling water in those temperatures when we had just paid 100 euros to play is simply not good enough. We had planned to have lunch and have a few beers after the round but decided to spend our money elsewhere instead. Lastly, the carts/buggy’s did not include GPS, which would no be a big deal if the many sprinkler heads had distances on them. Not a single sprinkler head had a distance on it. A simple, cheap and effective way to make the round more enjoyable and faster. I hope someone from Pestana reads this - there is much work to be done at Gramacho. |

on Wed, 10th May 2023 Reception staff failed charm school! This review is actually for the 9th of May 2023. Have played Gramancho many times the course is great value for money (especially twighlight) , never in my experience overly busy and well maintained. What lets it down (more than once) is the surely, rude attitude to the customers of some of the reception staff . If you do play twighlight expect to be spoken too like a second class citizen when booking in and asking for club hire and buggies . Played at many courses in the Algarve and this is the place when I come across this poor attitude and rubbish customer service |

Mas quando começamos a jogar a chuva estava com demasiada força e realmente não estava possível jogar lá! Mas gostava de agradecer Pestana porque não foi um problema para receber mais um jogo livre com um buggy . Serviço muito bom. |

on Tue, 4th Oct 2022 Great course but slow play ☹️☹️ Very good course and in good condition. Strategic course with blind shots and dog legs and stiff test for its low slope rating. Popular course but only problem and only criticism is that too much waiting time on tees and in fairways and round took 10 minutes short of 5 hours. Excellent staff and restaurant and relax afterwards on terrace watching 18th |

Ellen
from Portugal
on Wed, 28th Sep 2022 Cramacho golf Got to play on this beautiful course today 28-9-22. But: - it took 5.5 hours! Where was the marshal? -Greens are not even. But also the many pitch marks make putting unnecessarily difficult! How much effort does it take if every golfer repairs at least 1 pitch-mark consistently per hole? It does give extra playing pleasure. - the long transfers, height differences call for a buggy. However, if there are flights without a buggy, this causes congestion resulting in a round that takes 5.5 hours (too long). The quality of this course for today unfortunately a 6 ((1-10). |
