Lovely course with wide fairways
Lovely course with fabulous wide fairways. Quite a few slopes up and down the course but manageable with my electric trolley. Greens were well kept too. Would definitely book this course again.

Lovely course good condition a decent challenge just wish people would repair their pitch marks same old problem with most courses

Too busy
Nice course, far too busy with bad golfers. Need to extend time between tee offs if handicaps not required.

Early morning at Silves
This is will be one of our go-to courses on future visits to the Algarve.We had an 07:48 tee off time so the check in process and getting the buggies was very efficient. Our WHS handicaps ranged from 10 to 25 and it was challenging for all: The course was forgiving in places but you also had to think about club selection - we had a very windy day! It was our first visit and the signposting between holes was good. The only downside were occasional unrepaired pitch marks on greens - but that is a general golfing problem.

Definitely worth a visit
Good test and course is fairly good condition. Very nice club house and friendly staff.
Greg from United Kingdom

No buggies available
Our tee time was delayed by 45mins as there was a shortage of buggies. This meant those with latter times than us and not needing buggies were let on before us resulting in a very slow round. Would recommend teeing off in the morning rather than lunchtime onwards to guaranteed buggies.

One of the better Pestana courses, it was in reasonable condition and staff were nice. Always like playing Silves 😀

Enjoyable afternoon 2 ball
Good mix of holes and the summer special deal is decent value. Very windy when we played which only added to the fun. Course in good condition apart from too many pitch marks. Greens are not ridiculously quick but enough slopes to make you look silly if you’re not on it with the putter.

As a 2 ball choose your tee time carefully as pace of play can be very slow. Fortunately the 4 ball in front allowed us to play through which isn’t always the case.

Practice putting green and warm up net are an afterthought. Staff very friendly, all in all very enjoyable.

Really enjoyable course
Really enjoyable course with some very tough greens. Plenty of open space but a fair bit of challenge too.

Stunning Views
Took the Summer Special Offer for two players and buggy. Course in good condition and all holes are well designed with some stunning views from the elevated tees

Silves ( MOT1919 if you know you know) )
Two high handicapped players. Challenging. Wide fairways. Hazards are well thought and not numerous . Hired clubs and buggy. Service a tad formal but everyone helpful. Play it you'll love it

SILVES PORTUGAL
Challenging but very fair. Wide fairways , purposefully placed infrequent hazards, a small number of undulations don't impact on shots.....you're not chasing your ball up hill and down dale. Thoroughly enjoyable. Play it you'll love it.

Very good course
Great course. Good quality. Not that difficult, but two challaging par 3's. Easy to walk. The starter gets 10 out of 10
Gary from Germany

Miss the Driving Range
A course in a beautiful environment and excellent shape. Perfect fairways and greens amongst old olive trees. We‘ll play again though it has very short holes, that makes it less challenging. However: no chance for a warm up, as there is no

driving area and a ridiculously small putting green. That‘s the only disadvantage.

Great Course in great nick.
One of our favourite courses this year. Some great holes and all in marvellous condition, especially the greens. Credit to the green keeping staff. Well done. This year was the first time we have oplayed here since the course and club house were changed. Great result

Played a twilight round on 14 Nov. Managed 14 holes for €45 on a course in good condition considering the drought conditions earlier in the year. Greens were excellent. Welcome from Caddymaster was very good but lady in shop was obviously having an off day!
Lena from Sweden
on Sat, 11th Nov 2023
Course is nice. Nice surroundings and you can easily walk. Unfortunatly play was extremely slow. We had to wait like 10-15 min on every hole.

4 of us greatly enjoyed playing Silves, which is in excellent condition. Good lunch beforehand and delightful staff looking after us. We will definitely play there again.

Play Somewhere Else.
I would strongly recommend anyone considering playing here to not do so. After being told to come back closer to our tee time in order to hire buggies, we were then informed there were none available. Out on the course we walked in after 9 holes as it had taken 3 hours! No course marshal, and no interest from anybody in the professional shop when we explained the situation. Awful experience.
Tim Herbert from Jersey
on Fri, 13th Oct 2023
worth a return
Lush ( which made a change ) and the recent course changes, cub house and other improvements make it worth a visit ( eclipsing Palmares and Morgado for example which had gone downhill

TrĂšs bon parcours de golf
TrĂšs bien entretenu. Staff professionnel est trĂšs gentil. A refaire sĂ»rement. C’est l’un des meilleurs parcours de golf de l’Algarve.

Anita from Portugal

Silves Golf in July
Great course, ok condition, quite long transitions. Unfortunately a factory near by smoked heavily and the direction of the wind brought thick smoke with burning smell into the course (holes 5 - 11). Perhaps we were just unlucky that morning.
John from Ireland
on Thu, 29th Jun 2023
Great course apart from the smoke
Great course but we were smothered with smoke for 6 holes on the front 9 from the adjoining factory so quite unhealthy and very unpleasant. Lucky I had a mask with me but the smoke still got through. Our clothes still smelled of smoke when we got back to our lodgings.
Karl from United Kingdom
on Thu, 29th Jun 2023
Silves was a joy to play, it was everyone favourite course of the 4 we played. We will definitely be going back there next June.
Philipp from Portugal
on Tue, 27th Jun 2023
Not worth the costs
Unfortunately we cannot rate this course too high. Nevertheless, we start with the positive parts:

- great greens, extremely difficult, but in very good condition

- nice course in general

Negative parts:

- unfortunately all the staff (including starter, ladies at the entrance, bartenders) was not friendly, not helpful and even impatiently)

- at the first 9 holes there was constantly a tough smell and smoke coming from a factory

- fairways were not in a perfect condition

- there is NO driving range, one putting green is in a bad condition

—> in general the course is OK but it is definitely not worse the price in comparison to other (close around!) courses. We would not come here again.

Always a favourite of mine.

I played several times at the Silves cours bat i never found one secretary so unfreindly and surly than i found on Sunday 26 March.

Luckily the course was in good condition.

Nice day in Silves
Greens were in very nice condition. Interesting layout and very good value with the twilight rates.
Robert from Portugal
on Fri, 10th Mar 2023
Best value to date.
A really nice course; makes up for lack of length with being a little tight. Holes allllay out in front of you with a minimum of blind shots. Conditions were good. Our best Algarve golf experience to date!!

tee time to late
Course good. However, our tee time (at 14.46) was too late given that there were 2 fourballs ahead of us who were very slow.

We attempted to play the last 3 holes in total darkness but with little success.

Greg from United Kingdom
on Fri, 28th Oct 2022
greta course as ever
Course was in a great condition and as ever thoroughly enjoyed the challenge.

We managed to play 18 holes with our twilight time however there were long waits on the back nine.

Alistair from United Kingdom

East course but awful slow play
A fairly short course so suitable for higher handicappers but dreadfully slow pace of play and industrial factory nearby spewing out toxic smoke fumes across the course very unsightly and off putting.

We gave up after 13 holes having taken nearly 4 hours to that point due to slow play in front.

Nice club house.

MARK from United Kingdom

Booking chaos - great golf though.
There was a mix up with the booking, the email confirmation showed the correct date but the PDF voucher was incorrect. Fortunately there was an alternative T time available so we still got to play. Course generally in very good condition with only a couple of greens needing closer attention. Some challenging holes with big elevation changes, wide fairways so driver can be used without fear. I hope to play it again one day.

Silves Golf Course
This was the first time I have played this course and it was very good. I have played most of the golf courses in the Algarve and this would be in my top 10.

Off the course I would suggest that the prices in the clubhouse are too high. I was at the old course the following day and ordered a large coke Zero. it was 3.5euros. A medium (small in my view) coke Zero at Silves was 5 euros.

Course great but 19 th hole closed early
Course is lovely. Tee time was 2.42 and course was quiet so no pressure from behind. Beautiful club house BUT very disappointed as when finished our round at 6.20 pm and went in for a drink and sit on the deck to enjoy the view we were told they had closed the bar early (not meant to close till 7 pm) as the staff had to go and work at the Gramacho course.
Erik from United States

Great course 

Course is great. I like the views. I’m afraid the course will be ruined by all real estate developments that are planned. The staff is fantastic. The greens consistent. Compared with a few years ago the course got easier due to cleaning up a lot of the rough.

I like Silves. After my relocation to The Algarve later this year, I join either Silves or Espiche as my home course.

Robert from Portugal

Family Golf round
Lovely round at Silves. Club house staff friendly, the best we have experienced in the area and very welcoming. Challenging course with some excellent holes. The 12th in particular a specially well designed hole and picturesque. We look forward to playing there again on our next visit to the Algarve.

We arrived 30 mins before our tee off time the course was fully booked and they had no details of our booking. We showed them all of the booking vouchers and confirmation of payment. After some time a manager turned up and spoke to someone on the phone and they arranged for us to play. In the end It was all a rather rushed experience the course was clearly overwhelmed with too many people and was a long day of queues
Tim from United Kingdom

A lovely Course
Great course in a lovely setting. A course that suite us a relative beginners but also a challenge for low handicappers. Staff were really friendly and helpful and there is a really nice bar and restaurant facility. The course was also great for spotting local bird life. Our only slight frustration was that the bar did close about 19.00 so was not open for people who were starting on twilight tee times.

Rough
Compared with other Pestana courses Silves is different, with very difficult rough and a lot of “ high versus low”. A Nice test for a change.

Nice
Enjoyed everything about this - the staff at the shop were super friendly and helpful, good modern clubs (though graphite shafts on the irons may not be to everyone's taste). The clubhouse was neat and compact with nice view over the 18th hole. The course was in great condition with some tricky long par threes. A number of elevated tees give a great vista of the course, the views from the 13th and 14th tees were spectacular. Quite a distance between some greens and next tees which made having a buggy a real benefit.

Smokey Silves
Nice course but totally spoilt by the smoke from the adjacent factory which was laying across at least 5 holes. Wouldn’t visit again unless the factory was not operational!
Rudolf from Netherlands

Smoke alarm
Heel mooie golfbaan, die met het nieuwe clubhuis wel aan aangename atmosfeer heeft ingeleverd.

Ernstiger is de overlast van verstikkende rook van een nabijgelegen fabriek op vier of vijf holes. GeĂŻrriteerde luchtwegen, hoofdpijn en prikkende ogen als gevolg bij de hele flight. Onbegrijpelijk dat dit probleem niet wordt aangepakt, want het bederft een verder fantastische baan.

Frustrating
The round was frustrating. It took 5 hours! Disappointing that Silves does not have a driving range, not even a pitching area ,just a small putting green! The course has several nice holes, but the par three holes are too difficult for average golfers. Three of them are uphill, between 170-195 meters. Not enjoyable!
