on Wed, 6th Feb 2019 Great course in all respects This is a world class course. Every hole is worth playing. Some are simply fantastic. Lovely from green to tee. Friendly staff. Great fairways. We were delighted to have the privilege to play it today |

on Thu, 3rd Jan 2019 Lovely old course Haven’t played on this course before, we played 18 holes on the Royal, it was a lovely course and the all the fairways and greens were in excellent condition. My only problem was the tee off time, there was lots of confusion about who was going off and they tried to pair us with another couple, apart from that everything was perfect...especially the 16th...amazing! |

on Tue, 1st Jan 2019 Great course, spectacular 16th hole! We had a great day at Vale do Lobo! I played the course many years ago, when new holes were not yet created. The addition of the new holes fits perfectly, and the result is a magnificent course, with a good mix of challenge provided by water and trees. The 16th is of course very spectacular, with a nice shot to hit above the cliffs. The course is quite demanding physically when walking, hiring a buggy may leave more stamina to play the last holes properly :-) |

on Thu, 20th Dec 2018 Royal Review Unfortunately the Ocean course (my original planned course) was closed for maintenance however the Royal was a beauty. Great service from all the staff and as for the 16th, am absolute stunner of a hole. One I would definitely recommend |

on Wed, 3rd Oct 2018 Disappointing Val de Lobo Big disappointment, lovely club house but Royal course very disjointed with little in fill holes stuck here and there, quite a lot of housing along it- Ocean course is better than Royal. There are many nicer and better value courses |

on Sun, 8th Jul 2018 First time playing Vale do Lobo Fantastic fairways and condition. There were many flights playing twilight so it was slow. Signature Par 3 was spectacular but the sun glare was strong at that time. Overall enjoyable and possibly come back during off peak season. |

on Sat, 30th Jun 2018 Great round at Vale do Lobo Royal Excellent strategic course. Maybe a bit too tight for those who like to get the driver out. Fairways and greens in fantastic condition. Amazing views from the 16th. |

William
from Portugal
on Tue, 26th Jun 2018 The Vale do Lobo Royal experience. Not quite up to the standards of Amendoiera, surprised that there is only a driving range for max 9 iron, some tee boxes moved up to the ladies tees, which made a great hole at once boring, and not the same 'visitor experience' . Almost no mens XL branded polos in the shop, which was also a minus point. Course 8/10, whole experience 7/10. |

Kathleen
from Switzerland
on Sun, 25th Mar 2018 A favorite The course is in excellent condition, with the nicest fairways (mostly) in the area. We really enjoy this course except perhaps for hole 17. Playing the early bird slots are best, as there is generally no waiting and we can finish the course in 3 hours. |

on Thu, 15th Mar 2018 Vale do Lobo Royal Interesting course and good greens. Wind was crazy, gusting to 40 mph. Blew my golf ball off it’s tee several times on the 200 yd par 3 16th hole. Took several minutes to be able to tee off on that hole. Haven’t seen that happen since Carnoustie 35 years ago. |

on Thu, 1st Mar 2018 Excellent Excellent course and facilities, some of the tees need levelling and the practice area isn’t the best. Apart from that excellent, and very good value for money on the twilight deal which we were on. |

on Mon, 12th Feb 2018 Vale do Logo Royal, what a great great test of gol Great layout that's much more than undulating, on some of the holes there is a bit of a climb. The 16th is a classic that's a real stretch into the wind with the bunker in front waiting to catch anything under hit. The greens were as I expected very tricky to get the pace and if you miss the cup you could end up with a lengthy put back. |

on Wed, 20th Dec 2017 Gerne wieder Der Kurs ist wunderbar in die Landschaft eingepasst, es kommt keine Langeweile auf. Es gibt Spielbahnen mit blinden Schlägen, die durchaus für Überraschungen sorgen können. Die Löcher am Meer, insbesondere das Loch 16 Par 3 mit den Klippen, haben für einen richtigen Kick gesorgt. Der Pflegezustand der Anlage war ausgezeichnet. Die Grüns waren sehr schnell und sensationell gepflegt. Das Personal im Clubhaus, beim Caddiemaster und in der Gastronomie war überaus freundlich und sorgten für einen aufmerksamen und professionellen Service. Interessant: Es war die erste Golfrezeption in Portugal, die das Handicap abfragten. Meinen DGV-Ausweis wollten sie allerdings nicht haben. An diesem Tag waren einige Gruppen unterwegs, die aber nicht wirklich die Spielgeschwindigkeit beeinträchtigten. Ich werde diesen Kurs gerne im nächsten Jahr wieder spielen. |

on Thu, 14th Sep 2017 Good but not quite as good as Ocean Good but not as good as Ocean. This is a very good resort course but I personally prefer the Ocean Course. The course is in good condition and well looked after. Greens on both courses are good and a consistent speed which allows confidence in putting. |

on Fri, 25th Aug 2017 Though but Fair Good course, tough but fair. Played as a three ball and walked round in just under 4 hours. Greens show signs of the maintenance that was done but nothing too major just coring and sand on some more than others. Thoroughly enjoyed it. |

on Mon, 3rd Jul 2017 Good older design course, hole 16th is spectacular Good older course requiring all the shots in your bag. Very hilly with stunning views of the ocean and cliffs on hole 16th. A bit on the expensive side for the quality of the course. Most holes have homes on each side of the fairway. Good pro shop. |

on Sat, 24th Jun 2017 Slow!!! Course was in good condition however the pace of play was horrendous. We considered walking in after nine holes, others did!!! Even with the marshals out it didn't seem to make any difference. Pity as it spoilt a nice course |

Peter

on Thu, 15th Dec 2016 One of the best in the Algarve. This course is a good challenge with its tight fairways and well protected greens. The ocean holes are beautiful and to walk the course is also an accomplishment as there are some very long walks between holes with many hills. Altogether a great day's golfing. |

on Sun, 8th May 2016 Just got back today from staying in albufeira. Weather awful but golf courses in great condition especially the greens, Vale do Lobo is one of the most picturesque and when you get to the 15th & 16th holes the view is simply stunning.Would definitely recommend playing this course. |

on Fri, 15th Apr 2016 Good course Course just re-opened after 2 weeks closed for maintenance, for which they offered free carts as it wasn't in top condition. Greens actually rolled ok and sand on fairways didn't prove to be an issue. Tight course and would definitely play again when it's in the best condition. The famous 16th par 3 didn't disappoint. |
