Balaia Golf Village

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.

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.
