Well worth a visit
First time playing the course. Challenging but fair. Probably a little easier once knowing the course and will definitely be playing it again. Great views and some great holes, well done Steve!!

Top Course
What a surprise, first time we played, fantastic views over the course and it didn’t disappoint, tough track with lots of water and some great fairways and well kept greens which were tricky on some occasions, lovely helpful staff and it’s a walkable course for those that want the excercise

Nice one in the east!
Very challenging Golf Course. Narrow Fairways and once you miss this you find yourself in a penalty area or you do not find the ball. Nice staff around and good range and practice facilities. Very good conditions of the fairways and the greens.

Must visit quim
First time we have played east of Faro in our 15 past years of visiting the Algarve. Surpassed our expectations. Phenomenal views from clubhouse over into Spain and Castro Marin. Had a buggy which was needed for back 9, front nine could be walked. Lots of water hazodors on course - need to know where to go on holes1,7 and 10. Great challenge and superbly enjoyable. Caddy master at course and staff were super friendly and welcoming. Definitely go back as awesome value for money compared to other central algarve courses

Wat een uitdaging
Het ontwerp van een baan is naast status en onderhoud het allerbelangrijkst en dat ontwerp is op Quinta do Vale echt fantastisch, wat een genot deze baan te spelen, die for veel strategisch gelokaliseerd water een ware uitdaging is

Ze zullen me hier vaker zien

Great Place - off the beaten track.
Beautiful location right on the border with Spain. Staff could have not been more helpful or accommodating. Lovely well maintained course with lots of water (take plenty of balls!). Had the place almost to ourselves on a Saturday afternoon. Beware, phones will connect to the nearest cell tower in Spain which will change the time on phones.

Value for money
We quite liked the course - whose two halves had very different characters - lots of water on the first and ups and downs on the second. The course condition was in good condition and the pace of play was good. The staff were very friendly too. It's probably a 3 and a half, but for what we paid it was quite good.

No gras on fairway
The fairway was to dry and hard. Ball lies on hard turf most the time. Greens are in good conditions. Tees also not so nice.

My wife and I will not return this month. The price should be 120.- for two with buggy and not the 165.-.

Schöner Platz, gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
Schöner, schwerer Platz an der spanischen Grenze mit einem guten Preis - Leistungsverhältnis. Leider wurden die Grüns vor Kurzem aerifiziert, dies schmälert aber keinesfalls den tollen Golftag. Buggy ist sehr zu empfehlen. Sehr schöne Ausblicke sind garantiert. Viele Bauruinen neben dem Platz. Sie stören den Gesamteindruck aber nicht.

The golf course was very beautiful, but quite difficult to play in. There was a lot of water and one should definitely stay on the fairway. We couldn't find our golf balls as they all rolled in the clovers and grass.
David from United Kingdom
on Sat, 15th Oct 2022
Great course, water is the main challenge so hitting quite straight is important. Most holes reasonably flat and some on the back nine quite steep so a good mix. Great views across river estuary. Will definitely return.
Robert from Portugal

Good Design and good condition
Jeremy from United Kingdom

Tough course but in very good condition 1st cut of rough with clover needs some attention and bit more sand in bunkers. Staff were fantastic.

Great to see it busy and thriving

Duncan from Portugal

Good course, good value, nice clubhouse
great Course, really well designed in lovely condition. Bunkers not great with heavy course sand....but maybe needed to be that way due to wind. Empty houses around a few holes spoil the aesthetics but don’t let it put you off. Course is great and clubhouse excellent- try the Ballesteros burger or club sandwich!

Quinta do Vale
Fabulous lay out, Seve was not just a wonderful golfer but a great designer as well. Really liked the different 9 holes first pretty flat with lots of water and the second hilly with elevated tees and greens. Only slight drawback were the greens which looked a bit tired but putted fine.

Receptionist was very friendly and helpful and lovely lady behind the bar sorted us out with drinks.

Eastern Algarve gem!
Incredibly quiet course. Great (fast and true) greens, good fairways and tees. Lots of water! Interesting undulating course represents great value. Easy access from A22 motorway. Lovely elevated clubhouse with views over Guadiana river. Great catering staff

Good day spend on the course

Cracking Seve course.
A great Seve designed course, water hazards sneak up on you but a joy to play. Clubhouse has gteat views over the course and very friendly staff. The only downside is seeing half finished mansions around the course.

Très bon rapport qualité / prix
Très beau parcours

Fort long , de l’eau , de l’eau et encore de l’eau

Pas pour les débutant

Tricky course with abundant water hazards
This is a tricky course as there is abundant water hazards on the first nine holes. Precision is very important to gain a good score. The fairways are wide on the whole and the course is hilly. A buggy makes it much more manageable for the over seventies.
Judith from Portugal

Excellent, Greens very fast

Quinta do Vale
De eerste negen zijn vlak, maar verraderlijk. De greens lopen bijna allemaal bol waardoor je bal van de green afrolt en in het water beland.
Andy from Canada

One of our Algarve favourites
Interesting layout, challenging, especially in the the 30 km winds we played. Very hilly so a buggy is recommended, although lots do walk.
Moira from Portugal
on Wed, 1st Dec 2021
Lovely layout and good value
Warm welcome from the staff both in the shop and the bar. The course is a little scruffy in places, I played it some eight or so years ago and the ponds were lovely and clear, now they are full of reeds and weed which is a real shame. The course layout though is lovely, a good challenge for all levels. And the price made it great value for money for the area. A beautiful sunny day always helps though!

Take lots of Balls
generally in good condition ,

greens good [not very fast]

fairways and tees good.

pleasant staff

not very busy

Think its a bit expensive [but most courses in algarve are overpriced

Martin from United Kingdom

Excellent course in really good condition and probably the best value for money on the algarve.
Eva Maria from Portugal

A stunning course for no money - give it a try!
A beautifully designed golf course in perfect conditions. 18 holes that demand a bit of thinking before every shot but it is worth it. At the first nine you should not be afraid of water that appears allover (not unfair), but this gives unique looks for every hole. The back nine run hilly up and down (without water) so you should consider a cart, at least in summer. The layout of the course is breathtaking, a real hidden beauty. At first I was a bit nervouse what you get for such a low greenfee but I can say: you get a perfect round of golf you won't forget. I don't give 5 stars because of the poor condition of the driving range (don't go there) and because of some unfinished and derelicted houses on the opposite site of the valley that come into view.
Antti from Malta

Poor course condition and lousy facilities
The course is challenging. The front 9 has lot of water hazards. The course was ok to play but the condition of the course was very bad. Couple of the boxes didn't have any grass, they were basically just sand.

The facilities looked very outdated and the cafe/restaurant didn't really have anything to offer.

I don't recommend this course, there are much better options available than this

Les from Germany

Fantastic layout and speedy true greens
Played here many times over the last 15 years and this is the best condition I have ever seen it in. Greens and fairways were immaculate . Greens very speedy .

Excellent job keeping it so pristine during lockdown.

Well and truly worth visiting .

Gem of a course
Fantastic course, very friendly staff make you feel really welcome. Course and greens in great condition. Lofty Clubhouse & balcony overlooking the course is a great place to relax after a round. Superb value for money. Highly recommended.

Fantastic Course, Beautiful scenery.

Bring lots of balls, for donating to the water gods!

Philip from Portugal

Good condition despite looking dry. Need to think your way around the penalty areas on the front nine. The back nine tests the legs if walking!

A very tough course with lots of water. The course was in fine order & the greens were slick.

We found the clubhouse staff friendly & helpful

Interesting Course in not bad condition- greens were very good! Fantastic location and scenery. Very quite - the only down side is all the unfinished house building that has laid dormant for what looks like decades!!! Very friendly and helpful staff - definitely worth playing!!

Great course
Lovely course in excellent condition. Lots of water, especially on front 9. We lost about 20 balls between the two of us! Greens in excellent condition. Clubhouse staff very friendly and accommodating.

Enjoyable but hard course
Great but tough course. Lots of water to avoid but the course is in very good shape. The greens were quite fast and ran true. The scenery is spectacular. Good course for all levels of golfers.

Convenient location. Reasonable price.
Nice course. Unfortunately we were behind a corporate tournament. We were not notified of this until we were on the first tee. It was very slow - over 5 hours. We had booked several weeks ahead and it would have been a courtesy to have let us know and offer us an alternative time.

Not the best prepared, not the most beautiful views but what an interesting design .... If you want to work on your game strategy it's the golf course that you must play. Enjoy !!!

A really strong challanging golf course with a terrific layout. Really worth playing. Bring your 'A' game & a few extra golf balls. The greens are large with lots of slopes. I look forward to my next visit.

Seve certainly created a challenging course
Fabulous course but very busy and also extremely windy when we played. Fortunately the group in front let us play through and we then only had a horizontal wind and numerous water hazards to overcome. Can’t wait to play it again - on a calm day!
Manfred from Portugal

Ersatzbälle nicht vergessen
Diesen Platz zu spielen war eine Herausforderung. An unserem Spieltag blies der Wind sehr heftig. Das rechte Maß zu finden für die Verkürzung des Ballflugs bei Gegenwind und die Länge bei Rückenwind ist mir leider nicht gelungen. Sechs Bälle habe ich versenkt. Dafür kann der Platz natürlich nichts. Der Platz ist abwechslungsreich und spannend zu spielen.. Die Grüns sind in einem perfekten Zustand gewesen .

A Great golf course
played the course three times last week ( Friday, Saturday and Wednesday) each day we had fabulous weather the course was dry and in fantastic condition. The greens were in very good order- a superb course that would challenge ANY golfer. 7 holes on the front nine have water and when the wind is blowing it always comes into play. Only two holes on thje back have water but they are hilly. All in all a great experience. The staff are fabulous and very accomodating.

Loved this course, all agreed that it would be worth playing again. Very well designed with many challenging pin placements. Fairways were quite wet the day we played but to be fair had rained the night before. Likely best value for the price paid.

Good course close to Spain border
The. course was a little brown and not maintained in some spots. I would give it a 3.5. But if you’re close to the Spain border you should play it.
Carl from Portugal

Interesting and challenging
Interesting and challenging course with plenty of penalty areas (water hazards). Beautiful views from a number of holes towards the border river and the bridge to Spain.

A more than interesting journey
Very nice course that I play regularly after discovering it last year.

Not easy to judge the club to take because the wind is often at stake.

The greens, including the impeccable greens and fairways, are maintained.

Beware of roughs that are not easy.

If you tend not to be straight with your face-offs, plan to use balls, especially on the holes in the way.

Great Value, superb course & views
Thouroughly enjoyed this challenging course - it was my day for losing balls but it did not detract from this being a beautiful course. Could not beleive we were only one of 3 2 balls on the whole course. Its great value for money and in a lovely setting - win win

Pretty course
The course overlooks the Guardiana and Spain. Lots of water on first five holes but not too punishing. A very nice clubhouse and friendly staff. Course was practically empty when we played it.

Very playable course as caters for most handicaps. Condition was ok. Good value as cheaper than most the other Algarve courses and buggy was included. Would play again.
Breeda from Portugal

Unrewarding
At one point in its history, this must have been an impressive course to play. Even now the water and bunkers guarantee a challenge for even the best of players. When we played the condition of the course was not as expected....fairways generally dried grass and some green bald in patches. Service at pro shop excellent though.

Nice course
We played a very Nice game on a beautifull course. Rather difficult holes with a lot of water and obstacles. I thank it becomes more easy when you know the course.

We had a buggy but this was not necessary .

We just enjoyed it. And the wheather completer the joy.

Very enjoyable course but need to be fairly accurate of the pictures,it has many elevated tees with stunning views around the course and also over the border to Spain.If you are staying in Vilamoura like us it's definitely worth the 40 minute drive and for what we paid ( € 115 for 2 golfers and a buggy puts some of the courses in and around Vilamoura to shame) word of warning lots of water. We personally would rate this 9/10 our handicaps are 5.1 and 12.2. Hope this helps if anyone is thinking where to play. Peter from Portsmouth.UK.

Great golf
Nice golf course. Pretty windy and a lot of water hazards the first 9 holes.

Difficult to play your handicap under these conditions. A classic Ballesteros circuit. To play absolutely.

The only thing that is missing is the possibility to rent electric trolleys.

Josephine from Portugal

First time playing Quinta do Vale
Wonderful golf course!! Not too challenging although there are quite a few water hazards. Well groomed and picturesque!! Not crowded so no following behind slow golfers and tailgated by impatient golfers. We played leisurely and finished within 31/2 hours. We'll be back!!
Patricia from United Kingdom
on Sun, 10th Jun 2018
Great course
Really enjoyed playing this course. Because it was so busy we were asked to start on the back nine, this was great it was like having the course to ourselves. The holes are challenging and nicely featured, we lost quite a few balls.
Nigel from Portugal

Great value
Brilliant value for money. Picturesque course and a really decent challenge. Lots of water but course in very good condition. If this course was 30 miles west it would cost a lot more.

If you fancy a challenge!!
First time playing in Portugal and at quinto do vale. Already played salgados and there was lots of water there but at quinto do vale you must be accurate. Water everywhere. Greens the size of postage stamps. A real challenge which will suit the lower handicaps. Was lucky to be allowed to play off championship tees which was so much longer. Would definitely go back! Only downside it was quite a drive to get to from Albufeira.
