on Sun, 8th Dec 2024 Worth it! Wonderful course but I find it disappointing that a course like this does not have a driving range. Of course I understand the reasoning behind it, but still...it would be nice to hit a couple of balls and practice a little before entering this amazing course ;) Also the catering through the course can be (should be) better. We only saw the lady at hole 17. I expect there to be at least two buggy bars(?) And the routing / signage could use some adjustments. But, all in all, we had a great day, because playing this course was great. Challenging holes, beautiful views, lots of fun! Starting with a par 5 I was quite impressed and that's how it stayed. We ended at the clubhouse with nice people and tasty fish 'n chips :) Ha |

on Wed, 23rd Oct 2024 One of the most enjoyable courses I have ever play I had heard good things about Ombria from a member of my club but I was blown away by the course; we've been playing golf in the Algarve and Costa del Sol for over 10 years and this is probably the best course we've played. Our groups was a mix of handicaps (2 up to 27) but we all played from the back '58' tees and everyone coped with the forced carries. The front nine is an exhilarating rollercoaster ride of golf, starting with back to back par 5s where you have to cross water hazards twice (the 2nd is particularly exacting), followed by a 50 foot drop to the 3rd fairway. Two par 3 holes follow (one with another 50 foot drop from the tee) then another par 5, a par 3 and then two tough par 4 holes at 8 and 9. Hole 9 is a beast. The back nine has a lot less water but the elevation changes and carful tree placement continue the excitement but it is more forgiving and more scoreable than the front nine. Condition was near perfect from tee, through fairway and onto the greens. It is not a cheap round of golf and there are no practice facilities other than a putting green but it is simply a must play golf course in the area. One criticism off the course is the cost of the food in the clubhouse. It is not cheap and we were disappointed to find the bar closed when we finished playing at 6.50pm. But that should not detract from an amazing golf course. |

on Mon, 16th Sep 2024 A bit of a dissapointment No drivingrange, putting area near hole 10 (far from tee 1), buggybar has very few drinks (mainly beer) bar service at clubhouse was not good, we waited 10min outside without someone asking if we want to order. The price is too high, greens were not in good shape (especially for this ammount of money), too much sand in the bunkers, the layout is not very clear, loads of people were lost or on the wrong faiway |

on Tue, 3rd Sep 2024 Quirky but challenging fun Quirky course with more than normal number of par 5s and 3s. In good condition, lots of elevated tees. Was recommended we play off “53” tees unless handicaps 7 or less. This made the course on the short side, I would go for “58” tees otherwise lots if wedges to the greens. |

on Tue, 20th Aug 2024 Great course outside of Vilamoura The course was in very good condition and was very nice to play on. Well frequented, but not crowded. The staff was very friendly. The price-performance ratio was excellent! The locker room and showers were outstanding. The terrace in the restaurant is also highly recommended for lunch and drinks after the round! I would definitely come back.' |

on Tue, 13th Aug 2024 Brilliant new course. Stunning new Algarve course. The front nine is really novel and tests all your skills. Greens really tricky to read. All in great condition. I’ve played all the Algarve courses and Ombria is up there with Monte Rei and QDL South. |

on Sat, 6th Jul 2024 Should definitely be played Sehr freundliches Personal vom Gate bis zur Übergabe des Buggys. Toll… Sie waren sehr fürsorglich, indem sie mir sagten, ich solle besser eine Kopfbedeckung bei dem heißen Wetter tragen. Der Platz ist klasse in die sehr hügelige Landschaft platziert, es macht viel Spaß von hoch oben auf die tief liegenden Grüns zu schlagen. Ich habe Anfang July 2024 für 85 € inclusive Buggy spielen dürfen und komme 100% wieder. Weiter so !!!👍🏽 |

on Mon, 24th Jun 2024 Ombria 10/10 First time at Ombria, what a course and layout!!! The staff were very professional in the bar afterwards, especially the young black girl and the bar manager. The only downside was the starter who was arrogant, unwelcoming and had no people skill’s whatsoever. Definitely going back if the price is right 👍 |

on Sun, 9th Jun 2024 Great scenery, really nicely manicured course. They ran out of carts so we were rushed out of ours after our round. In addition, the beverage cart didn’t come around until we’re were nearly done with the front 9. Seems like there are still some teething problems but nice course overall. |

on Mon, 3rd Jun 2024 Fantastic Ombria Fantastic day of golf. Although the course is only open just over a year, it is amazing. The elevated tees are spectacular and the scenery second to none. The service provided by everyone was exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed our day. |

on Thu, 30th May 2024 A new gem - well worth a visit. Ombria is a new gem and a really good test of golf. The front nine is very challenging for a first time visitor with lots of opportunity to get into trouble but the good golfer will enjoy the challenge. The back nine is more forgiving and easier on the nerves but still a good test. The course is in a great setting. Very well maintained with firm but true greens. Definitely worth a visit for regulars to Golf in the Algarve. |

on Thu, 25th Apr 2024 Stunning. Must play once You have to play here once even if just for the clubhouse and views. You won’t find a course with more spectacular views. Greens were running at 11 on the stimp. Crazy front nine then back nine more forgiving. Plays much harder than its slope. I’m 3.4 and had to play off 1 on the yellows and got nowhere near my handicap but loved every minute |

on Fri, 22nd Dec 2023 Great course, fun to play. Fantastic course and golf experience. Tees, fairways and greens all excellent, all firm and true. Some very interesting and challenging holes requiring accuracy of line and distance, together with fantastic views and scenery. Not for the true beginner but really interesting, fun and challenging for all others, many tee options. |

on Thu, 23rd Nov 2023 Fantastic experience A new course that we found in excellent condition.

on Sun, 5th Nov 2023 First time at ombria What a great challenge. Really entertaining and unique course. Greens in superb condition and some very challenging holes that might spook some, especially when windy. Obviously brand new, so fairways and greens lacking depth of grass roots but in time this will change and the course will improve. Likewise the clubhouse is not complete yet but this did not distract from the enjoyment. As the course becomes busier it could get very slow as suspect lots will be looking for golf balls and a few holes cross over meaning waiting for players to finish a hole before teeing off, i.e the first. 6 par 3’s and 5 par 5’s means it has the fewest par 4’s i’ve played, hence the uniqueness. Walking is not possible, buggys i presume are mandatory. I look forward to playing again though especially when more mature. |

on Wed, 11th Oct 2023 Slow play A lovely course - the first nine holes with many elevated tees, are really special. Let down, however, by poor management. Two rounds both took 5 hours to play. No marshals (that we could see) to speed things up - maybe just too many on the course. Not enough buggies - we had to wait for ours even though those behind us had theirs. Quite a contrast from the efficiency of the Quinta courses we played later in the week. It's a new course so hopefully these sort of things will be ironed out in due course, when I would look forward to returning. |

on Sun, 8th Oct 2023 New course with potential to become highly rated. Course, which is set in the hills just North of Loulé, only opened to the public earlier this year. Buggies included are essential as there is a lot of elevation changes from greens to tees. Views spectacular. Course condition excellent with some very large greens proving a real test. Very tight front 9 - if you miss the narrow fairways your ball will fall off the sides into scrub land or dry river beds or trees. Back 9 more forgiving. The clubhouse is not yet open making the overall experience somewhat disappointing….no terraces open for sitting on and no bar facilities. There is a caravan in the area by the first tee serving a very limited range of drinks and snacks. Nowhere to sit. In time and when the development is complete this course certainly has the potential to be up there with the best the Algarve has to offer, but still a long way to go. |

on Sat, 23rd Sep 2023 Don't expect a Raincheck Scenically superb somewhat contrived course design with 6 par 3's. unsuitable for higher handicappers. Agree with others: play it once but don't expect to make a regular haunt. Service polite but refused a raincheck on an exceptionally bad day with driving rain saying that the course was still 'open'. |

Iain
on Sun, 20th Aug 2023 Over Rated Completely over rated golf course and under whelming compared to the reviews I read prior to play. Greens are in good condition but fairways will take more time to bed in which is understandable for such a new course. Course has gimmicky holes which become tiresome. Front nine has plenty of undulation and course is in good condition but there are many better Algarve courses to play. Pace of play was unacceptable at 4.5 hours for a 3 ball. Unfortunately they set time par at 4 hours 45 mins which is frankly ridiculous on a course where buggy’s must be used. Staff are excellent and new buggy’s are well equipped. |

on Sat, 19th Aug 2023 Sandy Front nine very compact with poor signage . Back Nine better but not great. I can see problems with slow play when the course Is busy plus getting players from car park to club House. Over all does not match Up to other courses in the Algarve. The staff where first class. |

Stefan
from Germany
on Mon, 14th Aug 2023 Spectacular, but Ombria is spectacular, but more scenic than a series and good golf course. The front nine plays thru a very narrow valley and up step hills, the back nine on the other side of a hill. Play it once and decide if it fits you. Condition was good for a new course, service excellent. |

on Fri, 21st Jul 2023 Ombria Definitely the best course on the Algarve if you are looking for a stunning well kept playable course Some Tee shots are daunting but very playable The course uses the terrain like no other The front 9 are outstanding while the back 9 are still fantastic though not quite as spectacular I wonder if it will ever host the Portuguese open though as it may not quite be challenging enough even off the back Tee’s However that is of no interest to us average golfers who will love to play this stunning course |

Dave

on Fri, 30th Jun 2023 Superb Course but Clubhouse not quite finished This is an outstanding course with some stunning views from the Tee boxes. Greens are true, bunkers challenging but in very good condition with plenty of sand. A couple of the Tee Boxes were a bit scrappy but don't let that put you off. There are a couple of tight fairways but if you stay straight you'll be fine. We saw lots of activity from the greenkeepers and this course is being well looked after. Be aware that you need to book clubs in advance if you need them. Do not assume they will have them available although they did for us on the day. I fully expect the cost of playing this course to rise significantly next year once the clubhouse is fully open so recommend playing it soon if you want a bargain. |

on Tue, 23rd May 2023 Spectacular New Course Stunning course, but not quite ready (e.g. bar not open, hire clubs not arrived, still fitting out the club house). That aside which I am sure will be sorted soon the course is spectacular with many of the tee boxes cut high into the side of the mountains playing in to well manicured fairways and fast, true greens. |

on Mon, 22nd May 2023 Service very good. Course very difficult and not for the average golfer. Very long carries to many fairways. Lots of trouble. Very poor signs for the next tee and virtually no information at tees with no map or index or distances. Went wrong way at least 5 times as no indication of next tee. Score card is a joke, it being a scrap of paper with a map that was so small as to make it useless.. No food available. |

on Thu, 18th May 2023 1 for all golfers living and visiting the Algarve We played ombria today for the first time, the welcome from the staff was first class and they couldn't of been more friendly, The golf course was an absolute pleasure to play, So many great looking holes and stunning views. The greens was fast and very true, (tricky to read). Fairways and rough in first class condition, This is one of the best golf courses in the Algarve yes its up there with Monte Rei and Laranjal, ( in my opinion) Just make sure you pick the right tees for your level of golf. I didn't play well today but that didn't take away the pleasure of playing Ombria golf course . We will definitely return. Thank you Ombria |
