Vale do Lobo Royal on Sat, 18th Jun 2022 A lot of short insignificant holes even off the back tees, but it has 4-5 great holes and one of the best par 3âs you will ever play. 16th is worth the green fee alone. 235 yards into a wind over the beach. Par 3âs donât get harder that that |

Vale do Lobo Royal on Thu, 16th Jun 2022 Great track Excellent track and in great condition. Will come again. One gripe; too many single players racing round and pressurising 3 and 4 balls. Not good. |

Vale do Lobo Royal on Fri, 10th Jun 2022 Royal is worth considering Arguably not as much a test of golf for the serious player, but we rated it highly as it was fun to play and all golfers would enjoy. (We were paired with 2 high handicappers, 1 M 1 F, and although they didnât score well they had fun and we werenât incessantly looking for balls.) |

Vale do Lobo Royal on Mon, 23rd May 2022 Course is not that interesting and lacks distance by modern standards. Needs a lot of upgrade especially bunkers which are well overdue for modernisation Standard of players playing the course must be poor as pitch marks and bunker raking is virtually non existent |

Vale do Lobo Royal on Mon, 9th May 2022 Really enjoyable Played this with my 21 year son and he said it was best course he has played, not a bad hole on the course. My third time playing and I probably appreciated it more this time. Some cracking holes. One of my favourite holes I have ever played is the 9th playing down to lake on right then large water feature on your left as you play up to the green. Iconic holes to the beach never fail to impress. Course was in pretty good condition and the green were very receptive. Great way to spend 3.15 hours. |

Vale do Lobo Ocean on Tue, 5th Apr 2022 The Ocean Course atVale do Lobo another must play. This is the second time I have played the Ocean Course. Every bit as good as the first time and of help is knowing my way round. I got out early and on my own so got round with no hold ups other than letting the greenkeepers finish on z couple of holes. They have sit on mini tractors to smooth the bunkers. An interesting watch. Everything is in terrific condition. The subtlety of the slopes on the greens still caught me out. The holes on the back 9, in particular 11, 14 and 15, the latter being the signature hole, are the most memorable although the 9th is right up there with the somewhat quirky. I rate this course another must play and only marginally behind the Royal course and the Old Course. A buggy or trolley definitely needed although I struggle to see how 50 euros is a fair price for a buggy. That though is my only gripe. Give both Vale do Lobo courses a go because you will definitely want to play them again. |

Vale do Lobo Royal on Sat, 2nd Apr 2022 Vale do Lobo Royal Course is a must play. This is a stunning golf course. Tees, fairways and greens all in first class condition despite some evidence of small areas of ongoing maintenance and upgrades. These did not detract from a thoroughly enjoyable round in the company of a retired couple from Norwich who, incidentally, played the most consistently straight hitting off the tee you can imagine and they backed this up with some excellent grenside bunker play. What I would strongly advise is to get a buggy. The course is a long walk, as I found out, and harder still to carry. There are consistently changes in elevation throughout the course and at times a bit of a trek from green to tee particularly on the back 9. 16 to 17 is some distance and a little confusing so look out for the stone columns either side of a walkway / buggy track. Other than that the frustration was not with the course but other players. It was slow going and way too many bunkers had been left unraked and pitch marks not repaired. Nevertheless I would not hesitate to go back as I think it is better than the Ocean course, the other Vale do Lobo course, which is another belter, and as good as the Old Course which I think is the best course I have played here. All in all a must play in my opinion if you are staying in Villamoura. By the way the surrounding properties are equally fabulous. |

Vale do Lobo Royal on Sun, 27th Mar 2022 Losing something Marginally disappointed in conditions when we played there in March 22. Opinions vary of course but I just feel that VDL Ocean was better, however it is some time since we played there. We all felt that the famous par 3 - 16th - is over-rated (but we have had the good fortune to play on many courses). Tees a bit untidy, although greens ran well (but not as slick as say Alamos). I wonder if VDL is losing out to nearby neighbours at Quinta âŠ.. ? Much better options in the Algarve I feel. |

Vale do Lobo Ocean on Thu, 24th Mar 2022 Enjoyable course but had higher expectations A good course saved by the greens and the views. The course was a bit rough in all honesty and the conditions werenât as Iâd expect for a course thatâs 100 euros. The service in the resort also was disappointing, range not open until 8am and cafe/clubhouse not open until 8am. No good for us if weâre teeing off at 7.50am. Not the 5 star resort we expected it to be. |

Norden

Vale do Lobo Royal on Wed, 5th Jan 2022 Ken The condition of the course and greens are great. However, this is not a course for a serious golfer. It's almost as if you had some spare land so you decided to squeeze a golf course in there. It's way too short for serious golfers and probably suits golfers who are excited when they can drive 150 metres. We had to wait on every hole for the players in front to be almost on the greens before we could tee off. Very frustrating to take over 5 hours to play. The marshall needs to be involved in moving people along. |

Vale do Lobo Royal on Fri, 26th Nov 2021 Early bird fly round 3hrs 15 mins A pleasant course in great condition -definitely the better of the 2 at Val do Lobo. All was going well all day apart from the 2 par 3s which unfortunately were card wreckers for both me and my playing partner-slight wrong choice of club on one and a ball still travelling to USA on the other. Let down a little by the 18th which does not even end up near the clubhouse. |

Vale do Lobo Ocean on Fri, 26th Nov 2021 Satisfactory only I was somewhat disappointed by the Ocean ,only on 6 holes did i think it was worth the money and we paid 70 euro as an early bird. Nice 1st and last and the few where you can see the sea are okay. My problem ? I have played Westcliffs north of Lisbon so everywhere else cannot match that gem. |
