Gerard

on Sun, 1st May 2022 Buggy shortage Played A and C. Courses were in good condition with a good roll on the greens. C course trees are too encroaching on the course and make some holes too difficult. I think they should consider cutting some back. A is a better layout and a great test. The price of 45 euro for twilight is very reasonable. However, the shortage of buggies is disgraceful. One of our party could not play due to only 1 buggy available at 3pm tee time. This must happen every single day and has not been addressed since i last played here some 10 years ago. A golfer teeing off at 3pm should recieve the same service as one that tee's off at any time. We did get a reduced rate for our trolleys but would have preferred buggies. Please address this. Staff were pleasant. |

on Fri, 29th Apr 2022 Stunning course, but painfully slow play. The course condition was stunning and service by all staff was excellent, facilities were great and the club hire was great standard new Taylormade full sets. However, the course was absolutely rammed with 4balls, most of whom seemed to be complete amateur golfers, meaning play was painfully slow. At no point did anyone seem to be asked for handicap certicates, which is desperately needed. |

on Tue, 5th Apr 2022 Vila Sol is well worth a visit. I have always liked Vila Sol. I think it is probably the best value in the area particularly for twilight golf. Hopefully this will not change. The 27 holes offer 3 options for a full 18 holes and most of the course is very playable for anyone who has a fair playing ability or better. Probably a bit tougher for novices but they should also enjoy it. My latest experience was that the round was played at a reasonable pace. The greens were excellent, fairways very good but some of the tees were cut up. They are not the biggest tees and that might be half the problem. In my view the stand out hole is the 6th. Overall I would be happy to recommend playing at Vila Sol and I will be going back the next time we visit Villamoura. |

on Thu, 16th Sep 2021 Vila Sol Golf Played at 3pm on Wednesday and was very pleased with the way the course was presented. Speed of play was ok considering some people were walking and others were in buggies. Our buggy was brand new and was the best I have ever had in the Algarve. Only disappointment was the bar had closed when we finished. |

on Sun, 12th Sep 2021 Vila Sol golf Course. Club and staff extremely helpful and very welcoming. Course has been in better condition, lots of divots not replaced on fairway, and many greens had pitch Marks that we’re not repaired. But always worth playing. |

Eva Maria
from Portugal
on Mon, 23rd Aug 2021 Lovely course in good conditions The course is in really good conditions so you can enjoy 18 exciting fairways. The biggest difficulties might be the trees that run along the fairways so you wish to keep your shots straight. The layout is not as breathtaking as on the Top 10-Courses in Portugal, but no fairway looks the same and it is perfect for a decent round of golf that does not cost a fortune. Unfortunately the fairways are mostly framed by smaller and bigger houses so don't expect a look at the landscapes. |

on Fri, 18th Jun 2021 Not a happy customer Played 9 holes. Nothing special. Narrow pretty and tree lined. I was told by tee times that carts would be available but none were available. So did not finish the next 9..not happy. Long walks from green to next tee and thick grass from tee to fairway.. Quite tiring on the legs and was not an enjoyable day.. Will not go back |

on Thu, 10th Sep 2020 Love Vila Sol, convenient to Vilamoura and lovely! Very tight but manicured course, with greens in great condition and running true although not fast. Love the design, we played our front 9 from tee 19, with our back nine from tee 1, thoroughly enjoyed the game and with a buggy we got round in exactly 3 hours with no hold ups, which was much appreciated, as playing twilight golf we needed to return the buggy by 8pm and actually returned in by 7pm! Great clubhouse and friendly staff completed our experience. 5 stars |

Draper
from United Kingdom
on Sun, 2nd Feb 2020 too slow - again! Once again we (a two ball in a buggy) were held up for every shot, behind a four ball walking. Took 2 hours 40 to do 9 holes, which meant we were then going to be unable to complete our round before dark (teed off at 2.20). The course rules state on the back to let faster groups through, but this elderly group had no intention of letting us through, even though we were actually on the 1st tee ready to go before all four of them had even teed off, so they had opportunity from the start to do so. Spoilt the round again ...this is now the third time we have played there and the second time we have not been able to complete 18 holes. Very disappointing and the pace of play needs to be addressed and marshalled better. |

on Mon, 8th Oct 2018 First time at Vila Sol Played 3 days in a row. Tees were not changed and all were quite worn especially the par 3s. Pin positions on greens were not changed either. If would have been nice to have had a bit of variety. Also no buggy bar on course for all 3 days. It was 28 degrees and the buggy bar would have been very welcome. The bar / hut at 10 was only open 2 out of the 3 days.... Greens were just ok and pace was good.. We were fortunate to have buggies but quite a few of the paths are very bumpy and could do with being resurfaced.... We stayed in the deluxe garden rooms, they were excellent very clean and the breakfast in hotel was first class.. Special mention to Jorge and Ricardo on reception they both couldn't do enough for us.. Would certainly go back to resort unfortunately not to play golf |

Paul

on Sat, 29th Sep 2018 Very Disappointed, played there several times before this week but not recently. Course was ok. However, there were no buggies available. We were told we would have to wait for buggies to come in which is understandable. But people who had booked in before us but were teeing after us, had buggies. The staff were very unsympathetic and didn't seem bothered. The organisation was poor. No staff on the course to keep play moving. We were behind a four ball who had buggies (we were a four ball) that had fell several holes behind. They wouldn't let us play through, so we walked off after nine holes. Also wihlst having a drink a six ball came down the 18th. All in all it was a very disappointing experience. The staff were very poor. Regards Mr Paul Preston |

on Tue, 18th Sep 2018 Started off on hole 19 and to be honest holes 19-27 were a bit rough..fairways were burnt and bare but when we moved onto holes 1-9 there was a marked improvement in the condition of the fairways and greens..would go back if it holes 1-18 |

on Thu, 28th Jun 2018 First time playing at Vila Sol. It wasn't a particularly challenging course as long as you keep to the fairways. Cow grass rough and loads of trees so stay clear if you can. We started on hole 19 as 1 -9 was closed for maintenance. Chockers when we went back to hole 10 for our cross over. Some fairways weren't in the best condition. Overall, did not enjoy as much as other Pestana courses due to slow play in front and tailgating golfers behind. |

on Thu, 19th Oct 2017 Terrible organisation Course was ok but so bably organised. If we had known there would be no buggies available then we would not have booked to play here. 4 guys in our group over 65 yrs of age. 5 1/2 hours to play and then charge you 23 Euro for a electric push cart!!! Utter disgrace and certainly one place we won't be returning. |
|
Nick
from United Kingdom
on Sun, 15th Oct 2017 Nick P Good course but completely disorganised no proper organised starter took 5.5 hrs to play 18 holes. Then got to the 16th and a 3 ball had cut in (is this what you expect for 80 euros a round? Maybe that’s ok for a run down municipal but not what you’d expect for a top course on the Algarve?) in summary course ok golf management leaves a lot to be desired. |

Andrew
from United Kingdom
on Sun, 1st Oct 2017 Love it, but course can have a sting in the tail A lovely place to play golf, fairways can be a bit soft in places, and the course is very tight in places with very small margins for error. A little unfair sometimes, and a bad shot is always punished. Would never turn up the opportunity to play here. Allow plenty of time for a drink after as it probably has the best club house in the area. |
