on Sat, 4th Nov 2023 Beautiful course but the delay was just ridiculously slow unfortunately we could not get 18 holes in because of this which was very disappointing because it was not cheap so did not get the value but would love to play it .again. |

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 |

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 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 |

on Thu, 14th Jan 2021 Great Course I love this course as well. Plenty to keep you on your toes! Staff friendly and welcoming. Probably only negative comment I would have about Dom Pedro Golf is their fluctuating pricing. Despite not being busy changing the price of a buggy from €25 to €50 within a week is just greedy! Hence and I walked and carried which I enjoyed more. |

on Sun, 25th Oct 2020 A gem An absolute gem of a layout , old style mature parkland , greens good , fairways Hairy and rough in spots . Overall tho I would highly recommend Pinhal , great shapes to holes and it helped that we played in under 3 hours ! This period playing golf with very few folks around is delightful !! |

Trevor
Richardson
from United Kingdom
on Thu, 10th Sep 2020 Pinhal one of Vilamoura's iconic courses First thing to say is excellent friendly staff here! From golf reception to buggy master, all helpful and obliging. This is a course we've played many times but the design never fails to impress. Tight fairways require accurate tee shots but reward with pars or birdies. We always stay in Vilamoura so this course is on our doorstep, almost walking distance so very convenient. The greens were good if not exceptional, fairly quick but a little patchy in places. Much improvement work has obviously been done and is bringing this course back to its best. One of the origionally 3, you simply must play it if you get the opportunity and will not regret. We will be back. |

on Tue, 8th Sep 2020 Greens in need of repairs. Patchy in places. Turned up in Nike collar less golf shirt like a certain Mr Tiger Woods. Told had to play with in a shirt with a collar. Need to smarten the course up if strictly adhering to old fashioned dress codes!!! Far better courses to play than this one for sure |

Kirkman
from United Kingdom
on Wed, 29th Jul 2020 We play this every year as it is my son’s favourite. This year was very different. The course was very shabby in appearance and very busy due to the fact that only Pinhal and The Old Course were open of all the Dom Pedro Courses. The reception desk took an age to take everyone’s booking and consequently there was no time to use Pinhal excellent driving range prior to play. Free golf for juniors is a great offer yet again as a summer special but overall a big disappointment this year. |

Jean-Patrick

on Wed, 22nd Jul 2020 Nice course and friendly people! Very nice course, friendly people. The bunkers were not in shape. But the overall quality is good. The price is OK and the starter is a real professional. If you come to Algarve you should play this course! |

Edward
from Russian Federation
on Sun, 12th Jul 2020 Dom Pedro Force Golfers To Rent Their Equipment We used the Dom Pedro Pinhal golf course) today paid my green fees and arrived at the 1st tee with my clubs on my push trolley. The starter told me I could not use my own personal push trolley and I was forced to rent a ride on buggy. This is Dom Pedro group trying to make extra money out of golfers during Covid 19. This is wrong and using my own equipment is much safer and in line with Covid 19 recommendation rather than force golfers to use rental equipment. This is the only hotel/golf chain in the Algarve that forces golfers to rent equipment where they previously pre-Covid 19 didn't. There are more ethical golf clubs out there. I will never play on a Dom Pedro course again after their treatment of golfers post Covid 19. I feel sorry for the staff who have to enforce the company policy as it is clear they are very uncomfortable with how their company is treating and ripping off golfers. |

Susan

on Sun, 1st Mar 2020 Not coming back again The starter was rude. Somehow our ticket disappeared. He could’ve called to the front but made us feel awful instead as if we were trying to sneak onto the course. Also, bottled water was provided at two other Dom a Pedro courses but nothing h here. We had to go inside fir water which sloshed everywhere in the cart because lids were not provided. We will return to the other courses but not to this one. |

maurice

on Fri, 3rd Jan 2020 A nice start for a week of golf in Portugal Interesting to start with a par-5 hole. Many holes with nice umbrella pines, however no clear signature hole to remember. Fairways and greens okay, comparable with Milennium. Two items which I did not like so much: A lot of times you had to cross a car road used to enter the surrounding houses Buggy could be cleaner. |

Colin

on Mon, 14th Oct 2019 A lot of money for average condition I undestand these courses get a lot of golfers but greens were poorly maintained, grass around hazards disproportionately high. Over €110 per round €45 for a buggy you do expect good quality and this is not. |
|
Carl
from United Kingdom
on Wed, 9th Oct 2019 Played Pinhal twice with Laguna in between. I honestly cannot split the 2, both great courses, well run, good pace of play without being too slow and no miserable Marshalls running round trying to get you to speed up if you are not playing at warp factor 10 and picking your ball up if a double bogey is likely. If you backed me into a corner I would say Pinhal is better but this is largely because it was a short walk over the road from The Hilton where we stayed (also thoroughly recommended). The 2 are totally different to play on but that made our experience all the more enjoyable. Hcp 21ish, Social Golfer in a group of 5 with similar abilities. |

on Sun, 15th Sep 2019 Wonderful Pinhal. Wow what a fantastic course. Need to be able to hit the ball straight off the tee or you will find yourself in the trees and trying to hit a low/high shot to get around them. Not like British trees that you can hit through these stop the ball dead. Most holes are tree lined with some with trees in the middle. Great short holes too. Great fast greens. Good buggies that you need as some of the walks between holes are quite long and go back and forward over a road. Fantastic practice facilities with a grass driving range two putting greens and short game area. Fantastic restaurant and bar with open patio area. |
