on Wed, 17th Jul 2024 Today we played this course. It is a quite difficult course. You really have to think before you take your shot. But more important, the staff was very friendly and helpful. We thought we booked 2 sets of clubs, but no. In a minimum of time the girl from the reception tackled this problem and she came up with 2 outstanding sets for my wife ad myself. Great compliments!! |

on Fri, 31st May 2024 Worst golf experience in Portugal From the moment we arrived, the course was a disaster. The staff at the area you drop your bags were sarcastic; the pro shop was not helpful in any way There is no way to practice before you play unless you reload your bag back into your vehicle and go to a location some distance away—we never did find out where the driving range was located. There is no way to get drinking water on the course and no one informs of this detail small as it might be. In 38 degree heat it becomes very important. And of course, no starter for course information. Then you finally get to play. It is a cow pasture with greens. Poorly signed , dry and barely groomed. Don’t waste your valuable vacation time with a round here. |

on Mon, 8th Apr 2024 Played April 7th 2024 Exceptionally maintained and sufficiently challenging, sloping course. Need a warm up? Beware that the driving range is quite a distance to walk (ten minutes one way, up and downhill), so come well before your tee time! Together with the slopes... Consider hiring a cart! |

on Thu, 14th Mar 2024 Lovely course, very slow pace of play Lovely golf course but extremely slow pace of play. From the second hole onward, there were two groups waiting on every tee to tee off resulting in a two hour, thirty five minute front nine. |

on Mon, 9th Oct 2023 Vale de Pinta October 2023 Having played Vale da Pinta over many years we were disappointed when we played on Saturday 7th October. Our tee time was 2.15pm and we were not able to tee off until nearly 3pm due to delays with too many people on the course. There were many holes where at least three groups of players queuing, so needless to say we could not complete the 18 holes before it got dark and should have been charged a sunset rate and not full rate. Also the greens were in a shocking condition. Don't think we will be going back until these issues are resolved. |

on Thu, 22nd Sep 2022 In excellent condition shows no signs of the drought in Portugal, only bad point was 5 hrs 15 minutes to play following a corporate day that was playing off the back tees which considering there level was definitely causing the slow play. |

John

on Sat, 17th Sep 2022 Well Maintained The management have succeeded where others have failed to maintain green fairways and good greens. The course was well maintained and flowed reasonably well with round just slightly over the 4 hr mark. Good variation on holes made for good experience |

WILLIAM
from United Kingdom
on Mon, 4th Jul 2022 shame about the greens. Really nice course and mostly well maintained but the greens really let it down with dead patches and bleaching and white powder in large patches, Played with a couple of members and they said it was because they over water ? also a lot of stones in bunkers so need to keep out of them, Even with this said will return to paly again. |

on Tue, 26th Apr 2022 Excellent Golf Course Great course, excellent fairways, greens and layout. Can't really say anything bad about it apart from the windy weather we had on the day which made the course pretty hard due to the high elevations and cross winds. Would love to play again. Highly recommended with nice bar and pro shop. |

Kalle

on Mon, 7th Mar 2022 The course was in an excellent condition! They just put a four ball group play before the three groups of two which made the round really slow and long. |

Ulrich
from Portugal
on Mon, 10th Jan 2022 Don’t be fooled… Course is lacking maintenance . However okay to play but don’t be fooled by the reasonable green fee - the rental of a golf cart at €45 per round (recommend though) makes playing this course more expensive then several other and much better courses in the Algarve. |

Ian

on Thu, 4th Nov 2021 Played Vale da Pinta for the first time 3rd Nov 20 Have to say I was more than pleasantly surprised playing this course for the first time. It has several lovely holes - especially the par 3s and is a fair challenge to decent golfers. I play off 8 and thoroughly enjoyed it. A few days rain recently has left the course in excellent playing condition. I have already booked to play again. The twilight rate offers superb value for money. Sometimes difficult to find where the next tee is but that is a small complaint in overall terms. |

on Tue, 29th Sep 2020 The greens let the course down The course is generally well presented but the greens are very poor which undermines the complete round. Definitely not value for money at the high-season rates |
|
David
from United Kingdom
on Fri, 25th Sep 2020 A lovely layout. This is a lovely course and all the holes feel very different and very picturesque. The greens were in better condition than the sister course (Gramacho). Of the three in the area (vale da pinta, gramacho, Silves) this is the best. |

on Mon, 24th Feb 2020 Slow play a problem Course in excellent condition. Slow play a problem due to lack of marshalling. At times there were 3 groups waiting to tee off. We only managed 16 holes before we lost the light when we should have easily managed the full 18. |

on Mon, 23rd Sep 2019 Twilight value but painfully slow later on... Great first 9. OK back 9. So ridiculously slow later on with 5 groups, yes 5!!! on later holes (from 14th for me). Walked in at 16th. Was twilight ticket so good value at 36euro but no available food at end of round does still confound. |

on Thu, 19th Sep 2019 Vale da Pinta review Poor greens Poor fairways We came from Australia, Dubai and SE Asia. All the raving about Algarve golf and this was the first course we played and to be honest it is extremely average. It’s a good public golf course in Australia at best. |
|
Brendan
from United Kingdom
on Wed, 18th Sep 2019 Very good course with a lot of features. Plenty of dog legs that require thought off the tee. The course was not too long for high handicap golfers, with the greens being in very good condition. A good test of golf. |
|
David
from Portugal
on Mon, 15th Jul 2019 Decent course but needs some on course marshalling Played Vale de Pinta with my daughter - who is a beginner - late pm because at time of booking course looked empty and that suited us. Unfortunately, but through no fault of anyone, the course was busy. Couple of 4 balls in front of us were extremely slow and led to us coming off after 10 holes as we were waiting 5 mins for every shot. The course really needs a Marshall to keep on top of slow play. I couldn’t fault the welcome and the course was in good condition with a nice layout. |

Grzegorz

on Fri, 28th Jun 2019 Hadn’t played this course for quite a few years so was nice to play it again. However, I must admit the course did seem to need a bit of work done to it and it was quite dry in a number of places. |

Richards
from United Kingdom
on Wed, 19th Jun 2019 For this time of year this course was in great condition with fast and very true greens. The only criticism we have is that the bunkers that were very strategically placed did not have very much sand. In fact in some of them it was like hitting concrete just under the surface Overall however a very enjoyable game of golf |

on Fri, 17th May 2019 Efficient and helpful Golf arrangements Great course but note very hilly, you can walk but suggest buggies. However they are limited in number and yiu cannot book in advance so Ben prepared to possibly have to wait for buggies or not have them at all Besides that the course is great , challenging but good for average golfer. Very welcoming staff Would play here again with no problem |
