Driving Range a negative
We like the course. Shame there is just a tiny Driving Range where one even has to use its own balls shooting into the net. All other facilities very nice. Very friendly rangers (esp. the one guy that had been a cook befor, very professional and friendly). Fair Green Fee one has to state as well.

points positifs: jeu rapide moins de 4 heures, terrain d’une bonne longueur pour les femmes

Course was excellent, very good condition and ideal level of challenge for our 4 ball, only disappointment was to be told we could not have buggies we had pre reserved. There had been rain over night. The course had a path the buggies could have kept to all the way around. Especially annoyed when the course marshall/caddie master was driving a buggy all over the course.

Guests loved it.😊
Took 3 others who had never played it before who loved it ( 2 off single figure handicaps ) i hadn’t played it for 11 years , very good condition and very picturesque , well organised and a good pace of round , 4 hours exactly for a 4 ball in Portugal is pretty good.

Showing signs of too much golf
Challenging course with lots of water greens and fairways showing signs of too many golfers 30 wait after tee time and sent off on the 10th

Played this course two years ago, condition was slightly better when played previously. Such a fun course to play, tricky layout, had a great day.

Highly recommended
Highly recommend this course for any ability of golf you have, I play off a 17 handicap some holes are trickery than others but in general a nice and amazingly beautiful course, amazing setting. Algarve golf.net took care of everything for me and unbelievably quick. Be prepared to spend a bit more money on balls,glove,tees unless you have been clever and brought your own. 5 stars all day long

Nice course.... Bring plenty of balls!
The first course of our trip and a really enjoyable start. A well maintained, interesting and challenging course (especially the Par 5's when the wind gets up) with water on every hole. The staff were really friendly and welcoming too. Would definitely return to play Salgados in future

George from Portugal

Good course
Like every year we play a round there and again the course was in great condition.

Sadly enough, money rules(green fees) and there are people on the course that really don’t belong there… they might be more comfortable in a pub

Salgados Golf Course
Challenging course with loads of water (bring plenty of balls) but a real pleasure to play. Greens are lightning fast and well maintained. Staff were excellent and extremely friendly. Will definitely be back.
Kai from United Kingdom

Enjoyable course and very tricky with water hazards everywhere. However as the holes were all very close together, we were only sometimes aware where the green was by looking at the group infront of us. Overall I really enjoyed though and would recommend

- no driving range & pitching / putting area not well maintained

- Restaurant was not in a way setup to have a beer after the round (not even sun screens provided)

- course badly maintained

- thats a shame as the location would be great

Quality course.
Second time I have played the course. Very busy (May) and the club certainly crammed the golfers in. Had cart, pace of play was good. Lots of water, tight fairways, quality of fairways and greens good

Would play the course again, but maybe an afternoon tee time.

David from United Kingdom

Great course and facilities
Course in great condition and really fast greens. Lots of water on the course but only really in play from wayward shots so not as difficult as you might imagine.

Would Happily Return
We have just played Salgados in breezy conditions and absolutely loved it. Greens were as good as anywhere we’ve played and would happily go back and play again. Lots of water to avoid but on most holes there is also plenty of width.

Salgados Golf
Course in very good condition even after the heavy rain.

Couple of minor bad points, .while playing behind 2 members they were VERY slow, I had to wait at every green and tee box, when I asked to play through I was met with verbal abuse and hand gestures, thankfully they only played 9 holes,

2. When i reached the 10 tee box, again had to wait, as they let players start their round there, got stuck behind 3 four balls. But everything else was good.

Gary Macdonald
Hi Michael, is Salgados a walkable course or is a buggy required?

Wasserplatz Salgados
Der Platz ist in gutem Zustand, bis auf die Grüns. Diese sind sehr holprig, vermutlich durch die vielen nicht ausgebesserten Pitchmarken. Durch das viele Wasser sollte man mit einer Menge Bälle ausgestattet sein. Driving Range ist nicht vorhanden, die eigenen Bälle können in ein Netz geschlagen werden. Die Natur abseits der Fairways ist eine Augenweide mit vielen verschiedenen Vögeln.

Nice course, well maintained with a good variety of holes. Played 18-holes in 4hr which was welcome. Only disappointment with the rental clubs which were old and of very poor quality. Club administrators and marshals we excellent. Would not hesitate to return and play the course again.
Greg Moseley from United Kingdom

Overcrowded.
A good, fun, fairly challenging course with all the water, but way too busy! Lots of 5-6 balls allowed to play, large number of groups all turning up with a 12pm tee time and just joining a big queue for the 1st. Once going it was OK, but not well organised and the Marshalls didn’t appear to want to do anything about it.

Salgado was worth itì
Best course of the three.

Played in 4 hours. Teeing off around 9am

Course was in good condition. Should have played it 3 times.

Poor rental clubs cost me today to whippy
3 stars for the course especially the greens in excellent condition. Club hire poor a set if spalding clubs most people were getting nike or decent brand. Other issue booked a one ball had to play with 3 others as course was busy but great set of lads on their first golf holiday

Our day on the links
Tough but fun course, a low slope rating for some unknown reason. Weather was great, but wish we saw the beverage cart more often (but maybe that is us). We rented the clubs, but need to buy the balls and tees. Clubs are all the same length.

Great Course, poor loan clubs
On arrival we checked in and collected the buggy and loan clubs quickly. The loan clubs were very disappointing. They were a mix of brands mainly Nike clubs from circa 2000 , irons had graphite and steel shafts. The course was difficult with water along the fairways. It was very windy which added to the difficulty. The course was in fabulous condition. Loved the par 5 sixth. Would definitely play again but not hire the golf clubs from the course.

Slow plat Solgados
I have played here before and the course is just ok, however it was packed with what I Will described as non golfers so the round took in excess of 5hrs to play.

I would describe the course as a very average municipal venue.

I will not be rushing back

twilight in Nau courses
I have booked three tee times on Salgados, Morgado and Alamos , in twilight with your site.

it was not specified that it was no longer possible to play after 8 p.m

it is a bit of a shame, because we weren't able to do the entire course

Greg from United Kingdom

Water everywhere
Course was in average condition.

Lots of water to loose balls but a good test of golf.

Great views and fairly flat course to walk.

Difficult course even harder my a cross wind. Saturday was a busy day so time around the front nine was slow. Back nine we had the course to ourselves.

Great round of golf in very strong winds
Course is in great shape. It played quickly. The greens were very good shape and rolled smoothly. Unfortunately it was very windy today but still a good day. It's a flat course that is very forgiving. The front 9 has some very long holes.

Sylvia from Netherlands

Room for improvement on the organisational side
Way too busy... It's simply not okay to have a flight every five minutes, without any handicap requirements, and then just keep it going. Took as just under five hours... Also, the absence of a driving range... The course itself is very nice and challenging though so definitely worth a visit.

Druk en geld beluste baan
We zijn heel erg teleurgesteld.

Hebben 172 euro betaald en 18 holes staan wachten op een groep voor ons die door de baan heen les kreeg

Om te huilen

Water, water, water!!!!!!
Played in February after there had been a large amount of rain over night which made conditions soft. Some interesting holes that really required you to think your way around to avoid the water. The course was very flat.
Joseph from Portugal
on Thu, 9th Feb 2023
Course was challenging and overall in very good condition. Staff were very helpful and friendly. They even lent us a range finder so we could take our distance in yards. Really the only complaint was the rental clubs. They were older models and not even cleaned. My driver had something loose in the head and the shaft.

All and all it was a good experience.

A trial with nature
A challenging course with a lot of water hazards and the day i played a brisk breeze blowing in off the sea. Its layout and location make the beach side course unique and its landscaped tree lioned holes add extra spice to the holes. I have to say the staff were excellent and the tee times were arranged perfectly to avoid hold ups on the course. A very enjoyable day and we will be back.

Challenging, Course but waste of Drinking Hackers
Well presented and challenging.

Greens pretty good, given the ‘traffic’.

Some very poor golfers with less than satisfactory etiquette on the course. I would have been upset if I had been asked to share a round with them.

Very good set up at the club house straight in, golf cart and clubs and onto the Grange, nets and putting green then onto the course! Which is in fantastic condition 10 out of 10 for me!
Phil Jones from Portugal

Good, but not great!
Cons -

1. hire clubs are dross. Miss match set sling together.

2. Woman handing out buggies/clubs was miserable

3. Course a little scruffy in some areas

Pros:

1. It’s a really enjoyable course with some nice holes

2. It is a proper holiday golfers course. The marketing hook to get you to play is “oohh look at all this water”, when in reality, it’s never really in play apart from a short par 3 early on the back 9 which is all over water. The course is very generous off the tee, so you’ll have to be pretty wild to lose a load of balls

3. Because it’s so generous off the tee, you play a lot of shots/2nd shots off the fairway and even when you stray it’s not too penal. Couple this with big greens (although they are pretty undulating) - you can score well, which also makes you feel good coming off the course!

4. It was really, really busy with huge groups going out, but the pace of play was actually good and I got around in 4hrs having teed off at 8.40am

5. Pace of play is helped by the fact it’s hard to lose your ball so people aren’t searching. The only trouble is water, so if you’re in it, it’s drop and go.

Salgado golf
Greens are cord and very sandy. Clubhouse lacks a bit of atmosphere. Facilities were good however no choice in club hire all regular shaft stiffness. Were told someone was joining our 3 ball and instead he went out on his own before us and we were playing behind 1 person all through the round. Beer was good and cheap and the coolers were useful, could of done with a cart on the course at times far away from club house for both bathrooms and drinks.
Andrew from United Kingdom
on Mon, 19th Sep 2022
Great experience but rather 'samey' af
Not really a links course, as advertised but a great test with plenty of water.

Greens very slow due to aeration work....but it has to be done sometime!

Nearby wildlife resort a plus.

ANDREW from United Kingdom

Salgados
Decent layout to course and very flat but condition of tees and greens not great due to drought and amount of use it’s had this season. Tees and greens scabby with lots of pitch mark damage and lack of water. Luckily two partners were regulars and showed us the way. Lots of water hazards which due to the drought were mainly mud.
Martin from United Kingdom
on Sun, 18th Sep 2022
Fun course requiring careful club/shot selection
Fun course, with plenty of variety in holes. Unfortunately the greens had recently been treated, so putting surfaces were poor. Well organised course, but no driving range only a large net and practice chipping and putting areas. Would be a tough course on a very windy day, given there’s water on many holes.
John from United Kingdom
on Sat, 17th Sep 2022
Flat with Water
This course has not suffered in the same ways as others in the area and as such is busy, I mean very busy with late groups of playing teeing off from both the 1 st and 10 tee.

With so many players on the course daily as you would expect it is showing signs of wear.

The course is the flattish I have played in the area with a number of dog legs and water the protection of the green.

Good value for money but be warned it’s busy
