on Mon, 15th Jul 2019 Tricky But Fun Have played many rounds in Portugal but it was our first visit to Santo Antonio and we were not disappointed. Great course, tricky tee shots and tight in places however, stunning views (if the golf isn't going great) and would recommend. 20 handicapper may find it a bit of a challenge, however it's not massively long so playable by all. Very enjoyable course and would defiantly play again. The 19th has cracking views too!! |

on Wed, 3rd Jul 2019 Hidden gem Very Nice. Especially the back nine. Front nine is ok but has quite some blind shots which requires some knowledge on hole layouts. Perfect for a holiday. Would return doe sure. |

on Sun, 19th May 2019 This course was the furthest west we played; in fact it’s probably the furthest west in the Algarve. Well-kept and a nice layout, undulating and didn’t lose too many balls. |

on Mon, 6th May 2019 Nice course very picturesqe Well kept course. Good value for money in comparison to a lot of courses. Lots of uphill downhill lies if you stray off the fairway which isnt difficult to do!! Enjoyable day. Not recommended for high handicappers. |

on Sun, 24th Mar 2019 Better information requiered Spectaculary course, very hilly in good shape. Not recommendable for elder player because on at least 8 holes buggy on fairways forbitten. Can be difficult for player with 'double' handicap. Should be known before booking. |

on Sun, 24th Feb 2019 magnificent from the welcome in the pro shop to the surroundings and condition of the course, everything was first class. Unfortunately the course was too difficult for my ability but it was so good I returned to try again. If you are in the area I would seriously ask you to consider this golf course, it's quite hilly so a buggy may be required althugh during my two rounds I did se plenty of golfers carrying and with push/electric trollies. |

on Fri, 30th Nov 2018 Nice course There are plenty of ups and downs. The course is not long but the transitions are. The greens are in good shape. The course was full. I played first front nine and when I came to ten, there was a long queue. Somehow I got past many of the really slow groups. I recommend a buggy. Price was good. |

on Fri, 16th Nov 2018 brilliant course with some fantastic holes. Not really suitable for a beginner unless they're straight hitters but most holes are different so you have to really think about where you're going to aim for, challenging but a fantastic course. Some people really don't like the course but all of us who played it agree that its one of the best and most scenic courses we've ever played and we can't wait to do so again |

on Fri, 19th Oct 2018 Mooie baan , clubhuis wel aan een update toe .ik kreeg pas 30 minuten voor de ronde mijn buggy .deze heb je echt wel nodig. De medewerker aan de receptie mag wel wat vriendelijkheid uitstralen .het had geregend en we moesten op de cart paden blijven ook al lag de bal bijna aan de andere kant . Zeer vermoeiend spelen . soms leek ik wel een bergbeklimmer. Maar dat lag meer aan mijn spel. Maar al met al een leuke baan. |

Rupert
from United States
on Thu, 18th Oct 2018 Don't bother stick to Villamoura Greens were very slow, the pro shop made a mistake with our booking and provided us with a buggy. I'd assumed given the wetness and hilly nature of course, it was the course's policy as every group had buggies. Marshal was sent out to the inform us of their error with two holes to play. Debated the issue with the professional who was rude and lacked an understanding of the situation. Eventually paid for buggy and left feeling rather disappointed. Food was decent. |

on Wed, 3rd Oct 2018 Played twice great course Great course quite testing sloping fairways and some blind shots can make it slow. We played twice during our week and the first day was slow on the course and the buggy broke down causing 30 min delay However second outing played virtually alone on course . Would definitely recommend as views are stunning. |

Geoff
from United Kingdom
on Thu, 6th Sep 2018 Not for the faint hearted. It must be more than 10 years since I last played the course and it hasn't changed for the better- it just has too many quirky holes because of the terrain. In good condition bar some wet spots, ( too much irrigation? ) it requires a buggy to be enjoyable but be careful there are some hair raising moments! |

Ludmila

on Thu, 2nd Aug 2018 Excellent value ! Our husbands played this course years ago and they love it there. Very good golf at an interesting course at the best price on the Algarve. Very nice layout, undulating, narrow - tight drives, blind holes and no 2 holes the same but very playable. The course was in great condition. |
|
Josephine
from Portugal
on Mon, 25th Jun 2018 First time playing Santa Antonio Fantastic and challenging course!! Very undulating, narrow, blind holes, uphill and not for golfers looking for a leisure game. I personally love it even though I played poorly and my partner absolutely hated the course. 13th hole is stunning with fairways like a narrow valley and the pine trees backdrop framing the green looks picture perfect!! |

Clements

on Mon, 25th Jun 2018 This was the first of three courses played on our recent visit and it was the cheapest to play. But I have to say it was the favorite of 4 of our group of 6. Very interesting layout, tight drives, very undulating and no 2 holes the same. We played the course the day after their Club Championship and the course was in great condition. We would happily play here all week on future visits. A real hidden gem of a course. |

on Fri, 11th May 2018 Recommended- lovely course, excellent price Excellent value overall. A warm welcome from staff. Tees and greens in good condition considering the wear and tear they get from holidaymakers. As others have said, scary buggy ride holes 1-6 adds to the fun, and when the wind blows it’s interesting! Undulating course but very playable, even for my wife who is a relative beginner (36 h’cap). The barman was lovely - so welcoming, and the food was excellent. A great days golf at a picturesque course at the best price on the Algarve. |

Therrien
from Portugal
on Fri, 2nd Mar 2018 Interesting Layout, Fairly tough, So-so conditionn Very interesting course, with a variety of holes. Cart a must even though I play a hilly course at home and always walk it. The cart paths for the first 5 holes are downright dangerous, so be very careful ( especially second tee, 5th and 6th). Greens in very good condition, but the fairways not great. As others have said, the course is a little tricky the first time around. Pretty good value for the price, but if you are expecting a well manicured resort course, this isn't it. It plays pretty tough, and you need to hit good shots. |

on Mon, 19th Feb 2018 Golf in the Western Algarve A great way to start a sunny Sunday in the Algarve. Nice course but challenging if you haven’t played it before as lots of little obstacles all the way around. A buggy is a must unless you fancy a full aerobic work out. Friendly staff so all in all worth a return visit. |

on Sun, 4th Feb 2018 Not for me Viewing the course looks amazing, however playing it is another matter, for me there was to many blind shots which slows down play and for that reason would not play again. |

Mirko

on Fri, 19th Jan 2018 Up and down beautiful hills Beautiful and well mainteined course, with some difficult and very long holes and lots of up-and-down in the front 9 holes. Quite challenging but all in all very playable and enjoyable. We had a problem with our car (due to our dumbness, we took the gear off inadvertently) and the staff quickly got the car (at the 8th hole) and brought us on the 10th hole. Recommendable. |

Jonathan

on Mon, 16th Oct 2017 Superb course but VERY hilly Superb course in fantastic condition. Hiring of buggy is a little confusing.....I would recommend a trolley......very hilly but there are fairways you can't take the buggy down making it very awkward when you're down a valley....pick the wrong club then have to walk back up a steep incline to pick another club.....next time it'll be a power trolley. |

Eamon

on Wed, 19th Jul 2017 Santo Antonio FDF 4/10 Very picturesque course but not an enjoyable course for the first timer or faint hearted. A lot of blind holes where it. Was very difficult to decide what club to play and where. There were a few great holes but all in all our party of four decided it wasn't a course they would revisit. We also played in under four hours but we we're still ushered along by a Marshall and comments were made to us in the club house by a two ball who were behind us. We won't be back! |

on Wed, 24th May 2017 To fast starting and not respecting the tee times Very nice golf but only the do not respect the time between the teetime Also special at hole 3 we have problems that the flight on hole 1 play the ball on hole 3 and not respect the rules and we must wait 4 times on poeple that came on our hole After that they complane that they must wait to long because they must wait on our flight and we must play faster of the Marshall after 5 holes we did not see them anymore and also we can play normal For some of our players is was not nice |

Environnement vallonné et assez technique, jeux souvent en devert mais jouable. Green très roulant mais bien arrosé donc bon pitching à la réception. Bon qualité des fairways et avant greens. |

Barry

on Wed, 29th Jun 2016 Exciting, hilly course We played five courses in the west Algarve recently and this was our favourite. I played it three years ago without a buggy and that is not a good idea. This course is very hilly with lots of raised tees. It's the usual Algarve excellent condition. Golf snobs dismiss it as 'mickey mouse' because of the extreme slopes but as mid handicappers we think it's very exciting with superb views and scenery. It's well worth the extra drive west. |
|
Peter
from Portugal
on Thu, 23rd Jun 2016 Easily and wrongly overlooked on the Algarve. This course takes a little adjustment. Initial dread of long sloping fairways is overcome once you know your system around and the standard f green keeping is admirable . A challenging course needing good course management will see average golfers s ore well. Try being too adventurous and you'll pay a price. All in all, this was a good test of golf and worth a visit greens in excellent condition and a warm welcome from starter and all staff made in an enjoyable experience. |

Peter
from Portugal
on Tue, 21st Jun 2016 Initial trepidation turns into a good day of golf Get over the initial shock of the undulating fairways. This is a good test of golf, long in places and needs a good approach to some tricky holes. We have played it three times and enjoy it more each time. Nice club house and a pleasant experience. |

Dave
from Portugal
on Fri, 4th Mar 2016 Hilly We thought this was 'undulating' it's just plain hilly ! The course is nice enough there can be quite some distance between holes so we took a buggy rather than pull carts which we normally would. The staff are lovely and the food and service a the club are excellent |

Andy

on Wed, 2nd Mar 2016 Played on the 1st March, found everyone friendly and helpful. Course was in a good condition and the greens where fast and true. The course is hilly and we thought would be a little difficult for the high handicapper. We would recommend a buggy. Club house after was very good with a great view and good food. |
