Vilamoura Victoria
Par 72 6506 metresOpened in October 2004, Victoria Clube de Golfe is
the newest of the Vilamoura courses. One of the outstanding
characteristics of the course is the series of lakes and waterfalls
dotted around this virtually flat course. Tee off from the back tees
and you will be playing the longest course in Portugal. |

Vilamoura Millennium
Par 72 6143 metres
Opened in the summer 2000, the Millennium is comprised of the
modified and re-built 9 holes of the old North Laguna loop, plus an
entirely new 9 to form a course of contrasting 9’s, one open with
lots of water, and the other with narrow fairways through the pines.
Water hazards near the end of the course can often destroy a
promising score. |

Vilamoura Laguna
6133 metres par 72
Recent extensive refurbishment has improved the appearance of this
relatively flat, parkland course, where many water hazards and
bunkers play a major part. Accuracy is required here.

Vilamoura Old Course
6254 metres par 73
Immaculately designed and maintained with some interesting and
challenging par 3 holes and some tree-lined fairways and everyone
wants to play there. Very enjoyable. Do we need say more!

Vilamoura Pinhal
6206 metres
par 72
Designed across rolling countryside through umbrella pines and water
hazards, Pinhal offers an enjoyable game of golf with generous
fairways, but smaller well
protected greens demand accurate approach shots.

Vila Sol
6320 metres par 72
Opened in 1991, it quickly gained international fame by hosting the
Portuguese Open of the next two years. Located close to Vilamoura it
is a tight layout with excellent greens and fairways. It is a tough
test and is well worth a visit. |

Vale do Lobo Ocean Course
5424 metres par 71
One of two courses at this venue the Ocean requires accuracy from
the tee as the fairways thread their way through pines and
eucalyptus. Some of the holes run along the Atlantic shore. Put
together a good score on the front nine because the back nine will
make big demands on your game. This will be an enjoyable golfing
experience for golfers of all levels. Near Almancil. |
 |
Vale do Lobo Royal
6050 metres par 72
This is a superb course which should be included in every serious
golfers tour programme. Look forward especially to playing the
spectacular, par 3, 16th. Your tee shot will, hopefully, fly
parallel to the beach across a couple of cliffs to the green.

Quinta do Lago North
6488 metres par 72

estate with spectacular pine trees, some blind doglegs and water
hazards. It provides a solid test for every golfer. Not far from

6488 metres par 72
Host to the Portuguese Open on numerous occasions, the South course
is a delight to play, presenting a variety of challenging options,
rolling and undulating fairways and greens along with water hazards,

challenging the golfer’s powers of concentration on a championship
course that places a high priority on accuracy. Near Almancil. |
