The Old Course is Frank Pennink's original design for Vilamoura, laid out in 1969 as one of the first courses built in the resort. Martin Hawtree remodelled it in 1996, keeping Pennink's routing intact while bringing the course up to modern standards. Set in the heart of Vilamoura, twenty minutes from Faro airport, it's known across the Algarve as the Grande Dame of the region's golf courses, and hosted the Portuguese Open in 1979.
It's pure parkland golf, routed through mature umbrella pines that do most of the defending. Fairways roll gently, with a few steeper slopes, and doglegs come mainly on the back nine. Water only enters the equation once, on the 4th, the course's signature hole: a par-3 that asks for a precise tee shot up and over a large pine, to a green guarded by water on the far side. The buggy here is optional rather than essential.
The clubhouse has been rebuilt in recent years, with a British-style restaurant and snack bar, and the driving range now runs on TrackMan technology, with an on-site academy staffed by resident professionals. Locker rooms and a pro shop round things out. Book a round at one of Vilamoura's original courses, and one of the Algarve's most storied. (...)
Pinhal golf course sits in Vilamoura, on Rua da Torre D'Água, the second course built in the resort after Frank Pennink laid it out in 1976. Robert Trent Jones reworked the layout in 1985, adding doglegs and length without touching its parkland character. Fifty years on, it's still regarded as one of the Algarve's classic tests.
Umbrella and Atlantic pines line almost every fairway, closing in tight enough that a stray drive rarely finds a clean recovery. Doglegs run through much of the round, and water comes into play on the 4th, 5th, 8th and 14th. The 13th, a long par five, carries the course's signature hole status, and the back nine adds the layout's sharpest undulation.
Off the course, Pinhal keeps things simple: a driving range, resident academy, putting green, and a clubhouse restaurant that looks out over the practice area. It's a traditional course built on consistency, and regulars return to it year after year, some after decades away. Book your round with Tee Times, and see what's kept Pinhal among Vilamoura's favourites. (...)
Laguna is Joseph Lee's design for Vilamoura, opened in 1990 on reclaimed marshland as part of the original 27-hole Vilamoura III complex. When the Millennium course was carved out of that same site in 2000, Laguna settled into the 18 holes it plays today, laid out over low-lying coastal ground in the heart of the resort.
It's the odd one out among Vilamoura's courses: few trees, open ground, and a links feel across several holes. Par 72, 6,121 metres from the white tees, with lakes shaping play on eleven of them; those same lakes double as a habitat for otters, terrapins and migrating birds, and sit close to the Vilamoura Environment Nature Park. Add 79 bunkers and a wind that rarely lets up on this exposed site, and accuracy matters more than length. The 9th is the signature hole.
The clubhouse is shared with the neighbouring Millennium course, and the resort adds a driving range, academy, restaurant and snack bar, locker room and pro shop. Book a round at the Vilamoura course built to play differently from the rest. (...)
Millennium sits at the heart of Vilamoura's golf cluster, a short run from the marina and within easy reach of the resort's hotels. Opened in 2000, the course pairs a refurbished nine from the old Laguna layout with a newly built nine cut through umbrella pine woodland — a blend that gives the round two distinct characters rather than one.
The front nine, holes three to seven especially, plays tight and wooded, asking for accuracy off the tee where the pines close in. From there the course opens out, flatter and more exposed to the Algarve breeze, before water comes into play again on the closing holes. The par-3 6th is the hole most golfers remember: a lake guarding the left of the green, a deep bunker on the right, and not much margin for a loose shot. It's a course built for variety and for company — sociable enough for a mixed-ability fourball, sharp enough to punish carelessness on the closing stretch.
Facilities are shared with the neighbouring Laguna course, including a driving range, putting green, and a resident academy for anyone looking to sharpen up beforehand. The clubhouse restaurant and bar make an easy stop before or after the round, and a complimentary shuttle runs from a selection of Vilamoura hotels. For golfers splitting a week across the region's courses, Millennium is a relaxed, well-paced day out. (...)
