Vale Do Lobo Royal is not just about the feature hole 16th. It is a very diverse and enjoyable layout. We play this every time we come to Portugal as it is in my opinion one of the best and can be played without paying rip off 150 euro that some of the other courses are charging. Last time I played it the greens were showing a little signs of heavy traffic as this is normally booked out and I did find some slow play a little frustrating. Normally it would get 5 stars every time. My party normally hit some decent scores around this course, it is tricky and interesting without being too difficult to enjoy on holiday golf. Of the two courses here it is probably the most scenic and there really is not a bad hole on the course. Highly recommended

A great layout, club house was in the process of some development. Overall course condition was good without being amazing. Good value as far as Algarve is concerned and well worth a visit. Certainly wont disappoint but probably wont be the most memorable either. No issues with buggy availability or speed of play and I think this place will only get better.
