The 5 Dom Pedro golf courses in the Algarve
-
Laid out on a low-lying maritime terrain, the Dom Pedro Laguna Golf course with its numerous water hazards and few trees is considerably different from other Vilamoura golf courses and many of its holes exude a links atmosphere.
American golf architect Joseph Lee designed this course in 1990 and many visitors recognize it as one of the best golf courses in Vilamoura. It has been the subject of constant improvements in recent years.
With a length of 6121 meters from the back tees, the 18-hole Par 72 course has several lakes that influence and spice up the game. These water obstacles are present on 11 holes of the course. In addition to being a hazard and an emergency water supply, these lakes attract a variety of seabirds, both resident and migratory, as well as amphibians, otters and turtles. A charming course that will undoubtedly appeal to golfers of all levels.

Benefiting from a unique position in the heart of Vilamoura, it is often mentioned that the creation of the Millennium Golf Course was decisive in the consecration of the prestige of this region as one of the most visited and appreciated in Europe for golf. . Opened in 2000 - it features nine brand new holes and another renovated half that was previously part of the original 27-hole Laguna Golf Course - it's a more accessible course than its neighboring courses, although a few holes like the 3 and the 7 meander between the pines.
To many, this course resembles the courses at the Old Course Golf Club. However, the Pinhal Golf Course has narrower drive landing areas, which requires greater precision. Several lakes, particularly interesting at 17 and 18, enrich the last holes of the Millennium Golf Course, where a simple course strategy is always the best approach.
For a luxury golf vacation in Portugal, the Millenium Golf Course is one of the best deals in Vilamoura.

The Pinhal Golf Course is located in Vilamoura, Portugal. Opened to the public in 1976 it owes its fame to the architect Frank Pennink who also created the Old Course Golf Club and to Robert Trent Jones Sr. who made significant improvements in 1985.
Crossing a hilly park, several fairways are bordered by pine trees. However, an even bigger challenge is undoubtedly caused by the umbrella pines and Atlantic pines which present themselves on the fairways and for the attack of the greens. The length has recently been increased on a number of holes, ensuring that the test originally envisioned by Pennink is met. With a significant length of 6 meters from the white tees and a par of 353, the Pinhal Golf Course is a demanding golf course. Golfers, however, will be happy to learn that the ponds and stream that come into play on five holes, for the most part, should not present a serious threat.
One of the most remarkable features of the Pinhal Golf Course is the breathtaking panorama offered from the clubhouse, which extends over the superb driving range and training facilities. Completely renovated, its veranda offers the perfect setting for relaxation after the course.

In the heart of Vilamoura is the course of the Great Lady of the Algarve, The Old Course Golf Club. The design by Frank Pennink, one of the first golf course architects in the region, is highly regarded in the golf world. Although it is only a 20-minute drive from Faro Airport, the course is surrounded by impressive pine trees and stretches over gently rolling terrain. For anyone lucky enough to play there, this is an unforgettable golf course.
The modernization program has made it possible to preserve the stimulating character of this magnificent course for future generations and to raise the quality of the Old Course Golf Club to new heights. An attractive new clubhouse and adjacent putting green have been the finishing touches to this renovation in recent years and add a great deal to the Resort's golfing experience.
As with each Vilamoura route, environmental protection measures are put in place to guarantee compliance with environmental protection practices.

At the time of its inception, the Victoria Golf Course was hailed as the most ambitious golf project Portugal has ever seen. Designed by a true golfing legend, Arnold Palmer, there is no doubt that it has lived up to this noble reputation.
One of the most complete golf resorts in Europe
Covering an area of 90 hectares, the site includes one of the most complete golf complexes in Europe, and has an exceptional driving range and a putting green of some 2 m500. All of this has made it the preferred location for many of the top international tournaments that have been held in Portugal in recent times. Indeed, it has hosted the Portugal Masters each time since 2, while the World Cup Championship was held there in 2007.
The Victoria Golf Course
The layout of this Par 72 championship course spreads its fairways over a length of 6,651 meters from the Back tees. Palmer respected the natural areas of the site, as well as the typical vegetation of carob, olive and almond trees. A significant part of the area of the Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course is occupied by lakes, which constitute dangers to be avoided but which also have a strategic purpose in providing reservoirs for irrigation.A number of teeing areas on each hole (often up to six are offered), accompanied by wide and undulating fairways, allow you to test your golf. Cleverly positioned water obstacles and bunkers are a constant threat and offer a real golfing challenge.
The Victoria Golf Course has quickly become one of the best golf courses in Portugal, with a layout that presents a real challenge for even the most experienced players.
LocationVictoria Golf Course is just a 20-minute drive from Faro Airport, along the A22 motorway.
