on Sat, 16th Nov 2024 Poor standard of course. Poor greens covered in pitch marks, unrepaired. Tee off ares in a terrible mess. Very very slow pace of play. It took 4.5 hours to go round. Not good. |

on Thu, 14th Nov 2024 Pleasant Experience at Pinhal My wife and I played at Pinhal as the first game of a recent trip to Vilamoura. We have played there many times over the past decade or so, during which time the quality of the course has been variable, but this year was the best I've ever seen it. The greens were in great condition and the fairways were lush and well maintained. It is a credit to the greenstaff to present the course the way it is with the water supply restrictions affecting all courses on the Algarve. I would recommend the course to anyone planning to play in Vilamoura in the future. |

on Sat, 21st Sep 2024 Mixed feelings. Lovely golf course with the potential of being a great golf course . Tees nd fairways in good condition but the greens with many pitch marks not repaired . Play was v slow over 4hrs nd 30 mins for our round with further annoyance of the oblivious players behind , continually either hitting through us or upto us , no course Marshall seen on our whole round . |

on Mon, 8th Jul 2024 Pinhal Summer 2024 I have been coming to the Algarve to play golf for over 40yrs and have played Pinhal many times. It never was one of my favourite venues but I must say that over the 2 or 3 occasions I have played here it appears to get better every time. Well done to all the greens staff for making the difference. |

on Tue, 18th Jun 2024 Not the most enjoyable game of golf I have played at Dom Pedro course. Five hours and ten minutes for a found is ridiculous and to be put out as a single golfer is beyond belief. Started at the 10th and ain’t till the 13th to await the three ball behind me and ask them if I could join them as the four ball in front looked like they where there for a laugh. Very disappointed |

on Mon, 15th Jan 2024 Phinal Although I really like the layout and Character of Pinhal I have to say it’s a bit beaten up. The tee boxes were a bit rough some of the greens had a few poor patches in them. We still enjoyed our day but as I say I have seen it in better condition than it is at present. |

Matthew
from United Kingdom
on Fri, 15th Sep 2023 Button sized greens and upkeep lacking Course layout reasonably interesting, but upkeep and appearance is lacking compared to other courses in the area (e.g. tee boxes long grass and like a GUR area). Particularly green sizes are slightly ridiculous and felt more like a par 3 course with button sizes greens |

Lorraine
from United Kingdom
on Thu, 1st Jun 2023 Superb golf course We would thoroughly recommend Pinhal. We arrived early and was going to hit some balls on the range to warm up. But instead as the course was quiet we were given the opportunity to tee off early which we did. Nice friendly welcome at reception. We played from 4pm when the course was quiet and there was no one pushing us along. Liked the tips provided on the website for each tee - good description and advice on how to play each tee. |

|
Max
from United Kingdom
on Wed, 5th Apr 2023 Well set out holes with some really nice par 3’s. Not terribly long off the yellows however the course is tree lined on every hole so keep it straight. Welcome at reception wasn’t terribly warm which didn’t put us off. The marshals were spot on and even started us on 10 to save us a bit of time. A buggy is a must as you’ll walk nearly as far as the course going from green to the next tee. The course was in excellent condition with well maintained greens. We played a 2 ball and our round took 4 hours however we did get held up just before the turn then played behind two 4’s on the 2nd 9. Normal dress code required for golf, please not tho ladies are required to wear a collared top also. Worth a visit. |

on Fri, 13th Jan 2023 Pinhal Jan 23 The course is generally in pretty good condition one or two greens are having a bit of treatment but nothing that really effects the playability. If I had one slight criticism it would be that the shop is understaffed during peak periods as we had to que for ten minutes to check in. |

Meurig
from United Kingdom
on Wed, 28th Sep 2022 Meurig Phillips Hcp 3 A good, fair test. Greens were in better condition than Vila Sol we played 2 days earlier. The approaches could with a cut as it was virtually impossible to hit a bump and run but I understand the weather has been very dry so need to protect the grass. Not too difficult off yellows providing you keep it on the fairway. I imagine you would need to give it a whack off the whites in order to score well. Good fun and would definitely play again. |

on Tue, 27th Sep 2022 Pinhal Sept 2022 Very tight fairways, especially front 9 ….. having trees in middle of fairways not exactly fair for visitors either. Decent course though ….. cart paths could do with some work, very bumpy. Good clubhouse and range |

on Mon, 7th Mar 2022 Excellent course & good value for money. An excellent course & considering its not as expensive as the Victoria & Old, it’s good value for money. Several short par 4’s, but with narrow greens, they can easily offer up a birdie or a bogey. It’s quite an elevated course, & that proved our front 9 to be challenging as the wind blew big time. Played early March and it was in a very good condition. |

on Fri, 24th Sep 2021 Pineal Golf Course I have played Pinhal on many occasions and it was a joy to play again. The course was in pretty good condition with good fast and receptive greens. The fairways were also fairly good with plenty of grass. My only complaint was the toilet at the halfway hut was a disgrace and unusable. Good job there are plenty of trees knocking about. As a footnote I have found golf in the Algarve is now very expensive |
