Gramacho on Tue, 26th Mar 2024 Gramacho Gramacho is a nice golf course, lots of different designed holes, plenty of good looking holes from high tees and most fairways are very generous. As with most Algarve courses, greens are overplayed by people who don’t repair pitch marks (not the courses fault) and the greens are undulating ….very fast and very tricky. |

Vale da Pinta 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. |

Silves Golf on Mon, 16th Oct 2023 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. |

Vale da Pinta 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. |

Gramacho on Mon, 2nd Oct 2023 Good course in reasonable condition but very slow. Played today on a twilight deal, front nine particularly slow as the members play a late pm competition on Mondays. Course in reasonable condition considering the time of year,. Quite a tough course to walk which is why we saw lots of golfers in buggies. |

Gramacho on Sat, 12th Aug 2023 Poor conditions and surly staff I’m not someone who typically takes the time to write reviews, however, following my round at Gramacho (one of the Pestana, courses) this week, I am compelled to do so. I am fortunate to live in the US and to have played many good courses over the years. I have heard much about the great golf in the Algarve and was excited to play at Gramacho. Unfortunately, this course fell woefully short of my expectation. Firstly, the greens were shaggy, bumpy, slow and just in really poor condition. Secondly, the service and hospitality was poor. The staff seemed rather unhappy and were unhelpful and cold. Also, this part of Portugal is often >90F at this time of year, and the day we played was no exception. There is not a single water station on the entire course!!!!! A guy stopped by twice to sell us small bottles of water. Not only was that not often enough, selling water in those temperatures when we had just paid 100 euros to play is simply not good enough. We had planned to have lunch and have a few beers after the round but decided to spend our money elsewhere instead. Lastly, the carts/buggy’s did not include GPS, which would no be a big deal if the many sprinkler heads had distances on them. Not a single sprinkler head had a distance on it. A simple, cheap and effective way to make the round more enjoyable and faster. I hope someone from Pestana reads this - there is much work to be done at Gramacho. |

Silves Golf on Sun, 23rd Jul 2023 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. |
