on Sun, 22nd Oct 2023 Breezy ocean course Nice course but holes 2,3,4,5,6, seem out of sync with the rest of the course. Great back 9 with stunning holes next to ocean and played in difficult windy conditions. Missed the rain but the staff were there with towels to give to those poor souls who got caught in the heavy downpour which was great service. |

on Mon, 25th Sep 2023 Val do lobo ocean course - twilight Course in reasonable condition and just love the views! Greens were good . However , need to monitor handicaps - 3 ladies were 2 groups in front and looked like they’d never held a club. Thankfully they gave up after 10 holes! Twilight at 1530 was good value . |

on Sat, 23rd Sep 2023 WOW, Cracking Course Remember Your Camera. Wow what a fantastic set up they have at Valo do Lobo clubhouse, very efficient and helpful staff in reception and buggy station, great practice facilites. The course itself is a gem, remember to take a camera with you as you will play some fantastically laid out holes here with spectacular views. The course is in fantastic condition, many green maintenance staff in attendance fairways, bunkers, greens all faultless. The only issue as with many other holiday courses are the amount of unrepaired pitch marks on the greens, us golfers need to take a good hard look at ourselves with this and repair your pitchmarks...ok rant over. Buggys are all in a new condition, ice box and water supplied, the whole complex is great and the prices to play these courses are very competitive as you are playing a quality course. Can I also say that Algarve Golf are a fantastic company to book with, James Crawford was super helpful for the whole time we were there and could not do enough for us to ensure our stay and experience was 5 star. |

on Mon, 18th Sep 2023 Excellent course , but staff too strict on some rule. Actually we had golf sandals which are not permitted but never before showing up have we been advice of that rule. Actually golf sandals are accepted all over Arizona in courses as respectable as the Vale do Lobo. It was unfortunate that we had to buy golf shoes on site. Please advise in advance in the future and show a little bit of common sense of ever a foreign customer come up with something unusual. |

The Fairways are plush, the rough is thick and sand traps are soft. The course is challenging and very scenic as it has beautiful views of the ocean. I highly recommend this course.

on Tue, 18th Apr 2023 Well maintained With only a few small exceptions, the fairways were in wonderful condition .... not something most other courses in the area can boast of. The ladies tee boxes were also in good shape - so nice to be able to stand flat and not look down on hole after brown hole. Starting early, we finished play in just over 3 hours. It was a pleasure. |

on Tue, 28th Feb 2023 beautiful scenary but you need to take a buggy 4 golfers in february: beautiful golf course, with beautiful sea landscape especially on the back nine; but the course is long and with many slopes, so we advise to take buggies: we were walking and it was tiring, and with some stress because others players had buggy, so we had always the feeling to be slow, even if we finish the 18 holes in 4h30. |

on Fri, 11th Nov 2022 Very scenic at times We unfortunately were given a start time in the middle of a member's tournament which meant lots of waiting. At 4.5 hours it was okay. The course is in decent shape, except for lots of pitch marks. It's somewhere between a 3 and 4 - the relatively slow pace of play always makes it less fun. |

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. |

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 weren’t as I’d expect for a course that’s 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 we’re teeing off at 7.50am. Not the 5 star resort we expected it to be. |
