Amendoeira Faldo - latest comments and reviews

Mr Herbert Keil 2025-03-29
Great Course, but in bad condition

Doris 2025-03-18
A very special course, very challenging and interesting holes. Great views especially on the second nine holes. Very busy. The heavy rain has taken its toll on the course as on all others as well.

Gavin Simmons 2025-03-11
Challenging golf course with some great views on the back 9 Cub house very good but food and drinks are expensive

Gerald Nuessel 2025-03-07
Sollte man gespielt haben, sehr herausfordernde back 9, leider zu viele Spieler am Platz und kein Ranger

Ewout Wijkhuizen 2025-02-08
Great course

Franz Miltner 2025-02-06
Nice course, not very well taken care, friendly staff.Buggy necessary. Very much overpaid.

Paul Arnold 2024-11-13
Too tough for the average golfer but still a very pleasant experience as we were paired with a couple of lovely British chaps . We prefer Christy O,Connor which we are playing again tomorrow

Franz Schautzer 2024-11-11
Not our favorit!! You have to use a buggy what we do not like, many holes are blind holes and the conditions are not at high level as the price!!

Michael Charles 2024-11-11
Friendly and helpful staff. Interesting course. Highly undulating and buggy only course.Tees not mown. Greens were true and fast. However pace of play was appalling. Once again far too many players on the golf course. Had to wait on every tee and no rhythm so unable to enjoy. Its obviously a management problem. Unable to finish the round due to slow play and lack of light. 1.10pm tee time should have been sufficient for 4.75 hours. The whole experience was ruined by the pace of play.

Glenn Parker 2024-10-28
Some areas of the course were lacking grass.

Colin Davis 2024-10-19
Very slow 5 hour 20 minutes round

Lauermann Andreas 2024-10-07
Faldo is always worth to play. But the conditions after a dry summer are not so good. They are working on it.

Chris Lenzin 2024-09-30
Challenging golf. O‘Connor is the more „finished“ golf course of the 2. Faldo is entertaining and in „okay condition“.

Dean Leslie Chappell 2024-09-19
Golf course overbooked. Need more gaps between tee-times to avoid 5+ hour rounds. Course conditions were generally OK but looking very tired cosmetically. Slow service in clubhouse.

Guillaume Hentzgen 2024-09-18
Course was way better in the past, now a lot of works are not done, some bunkers looks like they have been never been maintained etc

Cameron Low 2024-08-23
The buggies were really annoying, cut out anywhere near the greens and are ridiculously slow. The tee boxes on half the greens are like teeing out of a bunker, overall quite dissapointed.

Stuart Montgomery 2024-07-10
Course design will always be good but definite signs of neglect - grass around bunkers not trimmed, grass growing in bunkers, surrounds of greens very dry with little or no grass growth. Know both courses went through hard times with covid and water issues and still needs time and money spent to make the course worthy of their course designers names.

Richard Exton 2024-07-02
Slightly disappointed that we were paired up in a four ball with two members - we weren’t aware this was going to happen

Anne Sharp 2024-06-04
A very long round - nearly 51/2 hours. Golfers in front could not play golf. Whilst a ranger was iut far too slow.

Matt Stubbs 2024-05-20
Challenging course which we enjoyed , course condition was good although greens a bit sandy

Brian Trenbirth 2024-05-13
Enjoyed the round on this very challenging course but I have to comment that it is far too difficult for the average golfer. Excellent condition.

marion romanes 2024-04-15
We don’t expect to pay this amount of money for a round of golf to take so long . It took over 5 and a half hours to complete the course as we had to wait at every hole . To many people given tee times

Sabine Fettu Deschaud 2024-04-05
great but it was raining too much so we only played 9 holes

Jiri Huml 2024-04-02
tee times in 9min interval lead to fairly crowded course by beer drinking young Englishman mixed with local and visiting retired, so expect 5-6 hours per round. Marshall as well as starter are present, but not able to take any action to improve the pace of play. Course maintenance is poor, teeing areas too small for this number of players, so many of them are already in April without any grass. Course itself has challenging championship design, in particular under windy conditions. Overall this resort seems to be couple of years behind it’s best, including the oversized clubhouse.

David Stubbings 2024-03-29
Very busy course in need of a lot of talc slow round

Roderick Lagendijk 2024-02-12
Our teetime was delayed by a hour because of a competition ahead of us

Stephen Goodall 2024-01-22
Condition not the best, pass of play was ok.

Deb Reynolds 2023-12-11
It took 5.5 hrs in a buggy to play the round. Whilst we enjoyed ourselves there we were waiting on every tee. It would appear that Faldo are allowing golfers on to the course without enough experience to deal with the difficulties of the test of golf. Maybe they should only allow golfers who can show a certificate of handicap with a maximum handicap limit.

Stephen Richard Copley 2023-11-11
Tough course for us to play , and looked similar for other groups ahead of us. Long holes ,tough greens and a round time of 5 and 1/2 hours which was too long. We preferred the O'Connor course which we played later in the week

Brendan McKeefry 2023-11-08
Greens were in poor condition but had been forewarned and a complimentary buggy provided

Edd Buckland 2023-11-05
Pretty average. 5hrs45 for a round of golf is inexcusable. Very shabby tee boxes, not mown, like a beach. Bunkers not raked. No surprise, given none of the rakes had teeth. A real shame, as the course should be lovely, but the experience is not.

Brigitte Müller 2023-10-22
it takes to much time, to much waiting time. Service at the reception of the golf club not friendly at all. And nowadays you have to bring your gofbag down to the buggies youself and it is quiet a walk to go there. Very bad service. Food in the restaurant and service is not good anymore. One can feel the new management of the whole thing and it is not positive.

Jonathan Dale 2023-10-22
Hectic start and needed to wait for buggies, so delayed start but surprisingly nice course

Adrian Brooks 2023-10-16
No buggies at tee off time do had to wait 25 minutes and as a result the light faded and was dark so did not manage all 18 holes which was frustrating and disappointing

Liam Kearney 2023-10-12
Amendoeira Faldo golf course was in very good shape. Unfortunately we found to be very difficult for players of our age and golfing prowess. Green to tee was quite a distance in some cases but a nice course

peter brewster 2023-10-05
Good day hard course but greens had too much sand on them

Peter Crafter 2023-10-03
Course is in great condition. 5h30m round was way too long. Poor marshalling did not help.

Craig Betts 2023-09-22
A little untidy in areas such as footpaths and roads. Fairways and Greens excellent

Wayne Stewart 2023-09-18
The bunkers were in very poor condition and the course was too full, waiting at every tee box. Over 5 and half hours to get round.

Andrew Slavin 2023-09-12
Wonderful golf course, in great condition. Great facilities and helpful staff. Sadly let down by their inability to pick up our group as they offered/arranged which meant having to change our tee time by 2 hours, which wasn't really suitable, but had no choice really.

Paul Mustoe 2023-08-09
Nice course and good condition. Not in the same league as the “big courses” in the Alrgarve. First hole uninspiring so don’t be put off.

Lars Fins 2023-07-09
+ overall a very nice and a good course, but… - really bad bunkers! No sand, wet and some grass, why?? Easy to fill up with sand.. - the ball cleaners completely without water. Badly!

Philip Morris 2023-06-27
Course was great. The bar service in the clubhouse was slow and they forgot part of the order.

Gareth Toms 2023-06-21
Great course in good condition but some of the bunkers were shabby

Mark Servaes 2023-05-26
Staff were ok but not very friendly

Alan Coe 2023-05-14
Very enjoyable

Alan Coe 2023-05-14
Very enjoyable

Justin Clayton 2023-04-25
Fabulous set up. Course fab, Clubhouse super, Pro-shop fantastic ....but SLOW!!!! 8 min tee times aren't working, sort the 6 hour round out and i'll be back!!!

Gerald Burke 2023-04-22
The initial contact at the desk was not very friendly however the starter was fantastic. Same at Penha. Course was breathtaking but a bit dry and the traps were marginal. No GPS in the buggies and there’s some guessing on shots

Neil Rodgerson 2023-04-08
Course brilliant. Greens outstanding. Bunkers are unplayable. Please sort asap. Embarrassing.

Gert Mentens 2023-04-04
The group reservation was not clear to the club. Some timings were changed on the day itself. The course was great, but we had a lot of issues with the geofencing. It was sometimes not allow to drive on the path which gave some difficulties to go to the next holes.

Hugh Murphy 2023-04-03
Beautiful course but the day was ruined by how slow the round took We left after 9 holes due to it taken 3 hours to play the front 9 . I understand the course was busy but there was 2 groups ahead of us that held the whole golf course back we spoke to a staff member after 5 holes When the tail back to tee off was 4 groups on one tee box but noting was done about the pace of play . Again the resort and course was beautiful but run very poorly .

Mr Herbert Keil 2023-03-25
The Tee Boxes are Not in a Good Share Course is very dry and Not nice shaped

Paul Bailey 2023-03-15
Great course. Shockingly poor client service.

Paul Wyatt 2023-03-14
Mixed feelings really, some very interesting holes and would probably have enjoyed it more had I played it before, too many blind shots. Also spoiled by a 5 hour round and no sign of marshalls moving along a group ahead who were holding everybody up. Tees were poor, greens were good, bunkers ok. Typical resort course, a buggy essential as long distances between greens and tees plus elevation changes

Jan Remie 2023-03-12
Nice course but marks for distances on the fairways are missing! Also toilets are missing unless you can wait until hole 15

Peter Stoffersen 2023-03-07
Golf course conditions: -bunker edges not visible -bunker foil visible -yellow tee boxes in bad shape overall maintenance conditions below average

Kieran Madden 2023-02-08
booking very smooth course in fair condition

Josee Bertrand-Robitaille 2023-02-04
Honnêtement, le design du terrain est très beau. Terrain difficile. Là où nous avons été très déçu c'est que le terrain était en entretien général. Ce qui veut dire gazon des allées brûlé, verts piqués et personne n'a rien mentionné lors de notre réservation. Étant donné les conditions, le tout devrait être mentionné afin que les gens puissent décider d'y aller ou pas. -**- Honestly, the design of the pitch is very nice. Difficult terrain. Where we were very disappointed was that the course was in general maintenance. This meant burnt fairway grass, pitted greens and no one mentioned anything when we booked. Given the conditions, this should be mentioned so that people can decide whether or not to go.

Peter Kranendonk 2023-01-30
Crowded and not so well maintained. Delay at the start and it took more than five hours to finish a round of golf

Halper Johannes 2023-01-29
Tee Time one hour Delay Very Slow Game, The Quinta do Lago Courses much better

Eamonn Cormican 2023-01-27
silly course

Kinkel Dagmar 2023-01-22
not so good shape

Paul Gray 2023-01-20
Slow back nine holes as they had booked a disabled golf competition to go off the 10th tee between 09.00 and 10.09! Our three ball teed off at 07.56 and reached the tenth at 09.30 , so after a 10 minute wait we followed three groups of disabled golfers which took 2.5 hours. The starter at the tenth hole had never seen it happen before and fitted us in.

Stephen Bassi 2023-01-11
Good course but it is not being maintained well, some tees were very scruffy and the course needs a lot of work to bring it back to its former condition. Also there is no longer a bag drop service which is a shame.

Ronald Hartley 2023-01-07
Good day. Course in very poor condition. Unlikely to play it again.

Dennis McDonagh 2023-01-05
The course was fantastic, great shape and what views, wow! Only complaint would be there were no washrooms for my wife.

Laurence Cass 2022-12-04
Very good conditions and picturesque. A challenging test of golf. Pin positions were very difficult.

Brigitte Junker 2022-11-20
Very slow game due to full course

Mark Dancox 2022-11-12
Excellent facilities, friendly staff and good food , the course was in good condition however the bunkers needed attention

Mark Deverell 2022-11-03
Another good course, with fairways and greens in great conditions, not a personal fan of the high section of the course and the semi rough on that section seems overly boggy. Very slow round and the marshal who showed up on the 18th simply shrugged and said we should expect a 5 hr plus round? Why?

John Barron 2022-10-24
Very good course , great greens.

David Coleman 2022-10-22
Course Top Class. The difficulty was the 13:39 Tee Time. Amendoeira seem to have a big problem with scheduling of buggies and later than expected return of them from the morning rounds. Effectively this meant that we didn’t start our round until after 14:10 (we were luckier than others who experienced longer delays on the other Course) and the last couple of holes were then played in near darkness. Jorge - I hope that you’re aware of the scheduling problems from Celine (she was fantastic in re-arranging things at short notice) with my original booking but after this experience, I would never again select a tee time after 13:00 on either of the Amendoeira courses.

Lauermann Andreas 2022-10-18
Challenging course but a must

Jo Dirkx 2022-10-15
Great service, beautiful views, fast greens.

Mr Jonathan Finn 2022-10-13
Fantastic course, let down slightly by pace of play and poor tee boxes. Customer service not on the same level as Monte Rei, as admitted by our starter.

Stephanie 2022-10-07
Where to start...? Completly overbooked, they give out Tee Times with Buggys but don't have by far not enough. We had a 30 min delay for our tee time till they got a Buggy back with enough power left to hold a round... Bunkers are not maintained, same goes for car path and facilities. Even with a Jewel of a course it is not worth the money!!!

Sven Galjaardt 2022-09-29
Very good booking and one of the best courses in Algarve.

Mark Howlett 2022-09-26
Course and particularly bunkers were in very poor condition.

Bruce Carrigan 2022-09-23
Staff not very friendly right from check in until we left. The course would be very difficult for mid to high handicap golfers. Would not repeat.

Colm Daly 2022-09-16
Faldo course was in very bad condition Tee boxes were very badly maintained and the bunkers were so bad they should have been deemed unplayable

limor sidi 2022-09-16
Great course!!

Brendan Forde 2022-09-04
Great course , Good service . No complaints .

Neil Brady 2022-08-29
Excellent

James Roland Thomas Allen 2022-07-29
Excellent course, was in great condition.

Charles Keenan 2022-07-05
Great course ... well presented and very interesting mix of holes ... a good test of golf !!!

Gareth Toms 2022-07-01
Good course but the round took 5.5 hours

Nick Fry 2022-06-14
Tees poor & general maintenance except greens which were ok

Christophe Dupuy 2022-06-12
whaouhhh, très beau... mais difficile et très très long (voiturette indispensable)

Jon Cofield 2022-06-10
Great days golf course in fantastic condition

Michael Shane 2022-06-09
Very good

Peter Tweed 2022-06-09
A tough course with some very long holes, not really the course for higher handicappers

J.P. Visser 2022-06-08
Two sort of sandbunkers.

Kevin Freeman 2022-06-04
Smooth booking, great value

Robert Watt 2022-06-02
Excellent course. Fairways and greens in great condition. In my view one of the best courses I have played with Chez Carlos.

Dario Sereni 2022-06-02
Too difficult course . And too long

Christophe Balland 2022-06-01
Excellent Driving range was closed (every Wednesday from noon) that was the only negative from my perspective

Sean Mckeague 2022-05-16
great course

Declan Pollard 2022-05-08
Disappointingly has gone downhill significantly since our last visit pre covid. Very busy leading to waits for buggies and a 15 minute late tee off. We were a 2 ball following a 3 ball but the wait times on the tees got worse as the round progressed and by 14 already over 4 hours in we drove back to the clubhouse. The tee boxes were very poor and the course is scruffy around the edges. Greens decent in fairness. Back at the clubhouse further signs of deterioration and lack of investment. It’s expensive to play here and this was in by far the worst condition. It’s a pity as although very tough its got some great holes but needs to get back on track to make a visit worthwhile

nguyen phuong loan 2022-05-05
nice course

Junhong Xiao 2022-05-04
A very challenging course, especially first 9 holes.

Mark Mackenzie 2022-04-26
Course very difficult mostly due to the windy conditions. Transfer back a bit late

Paul Gray 2022-04-19
A great golf course but not for beginners.

Mr Nigel Blake 2022-03-31
Great course

Klaus Fuchs 2022-03-04
Der Faldo Course bleibt eine Herausforderung, auch wenn man ihn schon kennt. Immer wieder toll - man sollte sich nicht zu schade sein, evtl. auf den blauen Abschlag zu wechseln, um sie Spielfreude zu erhöhen.

Philippe Pineau 2021-12-23
Amendoeira Faldo is a very nice course. But, all the greens were cored and sanded, and we did not get the information before playing! I agree, it need to be done, but having two 18 holes courses, one can be worked on while the other is played in normal conditions. And, I like to decide whether I want to play on substandard green quality at the same price.

Uwe Gallhoff 2021-12-01
Driving Range in bad condition. The Faldo course is okay but needs a lot of maintainance. You can see that the hole resort and golf courses are now I think more than 15 years old.

David Askew 2021-12-01
The service at the clubhouse was great and condition of fairways green and bunkers excellent . The layout in my opinion is crazy . But with the winter offer and getting 4 for price of 3 made it worthwhile

Hervé Maillard 2021-11-16
ok

Mark Schmitz 2021-11-12
Nice one

Eric Deprey 2021-11-10
Every,and realy every shot we had to wait and wait and wait… The course was overloaded !!

Carl Johan Plymouth 2021-11-04
Pool, almost all yellow tees where move to back ladies and thus the entire course lost value. Yellow is yellow not blue. Disorganised reception.

David Thomas 2021-10-10
Fantastic course.

Lauermann Andreas 2021-10-09
Course totally overloaded. And this in the morning. Long waiting times to tee off at all the holes. No Marshall available. Bad management

Preet Kapoor 2021-10-08
Very difficult golf course. Carries are long. Course not good for holiday golf.

Nuno Raposo 2021-04-15
Everything great

Libby Lennox 2020-12-10
I have to say that the Faldo Course is not my favourite on the Algarve, too many blind shots, but the course was in good condition and we could have played out of the bunkers yesterday. You do though need a buggy, my GPS measured it at 8 miles round the course. In the club house the staff were attentive and helpful

Neil Macklin 2020-12-09
Great course .. fast well kept greens ..a real challenging golf test ..

Christian Gau 2020-03-29
Amendoeira reminded me a bit of of Finca Cortesin. This has been a course in perfect condition, interesting and beautiful layout (very nice use of wast areas) and it was a pity that we had to stop due to rain/thunder. We got a voucher however which was very nice. Well return to that one for sure.

Tomas Daul 2020-03-25
Great course, perfect maintenance, professionall staff.Thanks to all

Sarrazin Franck 2020-02-29
Good course but not great

Simon Goldsmith 2020-02-14
Great course in excellent condition. Given the Suze of some of the bunkering a few more rakes would be great. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food excellent!

Andrew Holden 2020-02-04
Excellent service at the course. Fantastic course, in wonderful condition. Many thanks.

Steve Bassi 2020-01-27
Course was in poor condition compared to previous years, the bunkers were really poor with in some cases no sand and the webbing of the base exposed

Ian Buchanan 2020-01-14
Condition of the Faldo was fine but there are some poor holes particularly on the back nine which climbed up and down a hill.

Klaus-Peter Meyer 2020-01-05
Interesting and challenging golf course, first class. But the maintenance of some green bunkers was poor.

Neil Rodgerson 2020-01-03
Fantastic set up. Doesn’t get much better than here.

Agne Odenram 2019-12-30
Very challenging layout. Will play it again to better get the strategy right. True but quite slow greens. Friendly staff which managed to pair us up with another couple as the booking had not gone through.

Mark Smith 2019-12-26
Excellent course with great staff. Could have done with a course Marshall as two ball ahead of us were very slow (5-10 minutes to putt on each hole and regularly drove their buggy right up to the green).

Paul Bennett 2019-12-17
excellent customer service. well maintained course.

Tomas Daul 2019-11-25
great course

James Clare 2019-11-11
Course was not as good as when we played it 6m5 years ago. Tees used to be excellent but now we’re poor and general upkeep was down. Buggy battery died on 14 so needed someone to come out to change it over. Course layout is good overall and food was great. Restaurant and pro shop staff were very friendly and helpful.

Christian Overgaard 2019-10-08
Great scenery, demanding course but alot of fun, only for buggy playing, too long to walk

James Curley 2019-08-31
Managed to get through a 4 ball at the second hole and finished 18 holes in 3 hours 20 minutes. Great day advise to play from yellow tees unless your a single handicap then chose the white tees.

Andrew Slavin 2019-08-28
wonderful day out at a superb golf course and well looked after by the team at Amendoeira

Rob Barlow 2019-08-20
The Staff were helpful and very welcoming. Unfortunately the buggy paths and non playing areas of the course look tired and in real need of some attention (the back 9 especially). Its not as nice as I remembered is when I played it a few years ago. I would probably look at other courses in the future.

Alex Morgan 2019-08-18
Tough course, lots of bunkers strategically located around fairways and greens. Staying on the fairways is critical as most rough consists of gravel areas

Andrew Russell 2019-08-03
The course was in great condition. The bar and restaurant slow service.

Mick Long 2019-07-10
Good course. 16th needs to be longer. Booking process very easy. All good.

Terry Jackson 2019-06-23
Excellent course very well looked after., would have been higher rating but they had deep scarified all the Fairways when we played greens were good though.

David Bowles 2019-06-23
It’s been some time since I played this course. It is certainly a challenge and better to play now than two years ago. There are a couple of holes where you benefit from from experience and where they have opened up the view of the fairway. The layout is challenging to your temperament but if you play to the correct lines ( now you can see the lines) It can be rewarding.

Geoff stockle 2019-06-20
Second time on this course and did not disappoint, challenging test of golf and will return next year. Staff always helpful.

David stubbings 2019-06-20
Course not as good as previous years. Fairways just been scaryfied greens needed cut

pat wallace 2019-06-20
Great course very challenging staff helpful

Schilling 2019-06-19
Started as the best. Now course quality of the fairways average. Driving range was excellent , with the ball pyramids now just average with the ball Maschine. Everything is dry there. It a pitty , please put more water on the fairways and change the driving range policy. Then the high prices are ok ????

Matt Burke 2019-05-30
Not great condition

Conor Claxton 2019-04-30
Overall course condition has deteriorated. The tee boxes were particularly bad this time. They were covered in sand and it was virtually impossible to get a flat lie on a tee box. They need significant improvement. The service levels in the bar/terrace were also down on previous years. It wasn't particularly busy when we finished but it took over 20 minutes to get a drink. Overall, the course is ok but I don't think it is great value for money now.

Bonin 2019-04-29
Very nice course in excellent conditions, as usual

Jim Liddy 2019-04-28
Lovely course, weather was very poor that day

Segers eric 2019-04-24
Super course and condition

Desiree van der Jagt 2019-04-23
Beautiful court, very challeging. Especially with the wind And Rain. Exciting tees.

Martina Christin 2019-04-19
Course is in good condition. Interesting experience.

markus hoffmann 2019-04-17
course in perfect condition, friendly and helpful staff - just perfect!

Ross Blackadder 2019-04-01
Enjoyed our experience today. Although it felt a bit early in their season, the team were very friendly. The course was in good condition despite the overnight rain and it was a challenge for both White and Red tees, (Dad and Son). Didn’t stop for lunch as the place felt a bit quiet. Some of the course infrastructure could do with some love, eg Hole Signs with tiles missing.

dirk groeneweg 2019-03-25
new type of golf course outlay, not my piece of cake to be honest.

Francois Leitner 2019-03-06
The service there was an improvement from our last visit but you still get the feeling from some of the staff that they are fat up with the guest.... The course is a big pleasure to play and the only minus was that our buggy went dead with three holes to go so we had to push it...! :-(

Acacio do Carmo 2019-02-12
Très beau parcours

Robert Burgess 2019-02-03
Tough course for anybody with mid-high handicap. Beautiful to play though

Christiane Jacobsen 2018-12-17
Beautiful course, good shape, helpful and very friendly stuff. Seen no marhall. Course is a little bit to wet cause of the lot of rain in Oct. and Nov. The cart path are mostly in a bad condition. Could be better.

Max De Groot 2018-11-29
for such an expensive course it really is unacceptable that the round takes more than five and a half hours due to extremely slow play without any marshal showing up to speed up the game

John Deveney 2018-11-15
All round excellence as always.

Alan Gayle 2018-11-08
Great course to play, would recommend to anyone,

Fred Zickmantel 2018-10-27
Great course ....difficult , but enjoyable

Peter Grant 2018-10-05
Course condition not great and staff not very helpful A disappointment after previous good visits

Axel Güllering 2018-09-25
Every thing works

Steven lloyd 2018-09-11
Very enjoyable round of golf at the Faldo !

Dave smart 2018-08-31
I said it 3 yrs when I first played it, it’s probably the best course I’ve played

James Mundell 2018-08-27
Course in excellent condition. Occasionally difficult to know precise direction shot should go.frequently buggies cannot be taken within 50 metres of golf ball

Per Svensson 2018-07-17
Just fantastic! Superb service, the staff where very friendly. The course was amazing. Worth every penny!

Jonathan Goold 2018-07-10
Always good here. Very slow though.

Julien 2018-06-17
Nice golf, great greens, nice staff. Too much waiting time on the golf course though. 5.30-6 hours for a round of golf with buggies is not acceptable

Robert craig rea 2018-06-10
Great staff and course

Cart tracks were a little tatty, needed some tidying up, actual course was great, but very tough

James Ridgway 2018-05-17
Great value in the club house after. Think we will enjoy a bit more in 5 years time once our handicaps are lower.

Mike Ford 2018-05-14
very good although ...bar and restuarant service was v slow and poor. Also golf club have issue with people stealing from buggies. Pro shop staff v friendly and course in great condition

Paul Beard 2018-05-12
Fantastic condition

Brian Haystead 2018-04-27
Hospitality great golf course very tough not suitable for Seniors will play OConnor next time Brian

Alan Cowling 2018-04-16
This course was a bit difficult for high handicappers. However we really enjoyed it and the scenery was amazing.

Dave Abbott 2018-04-07
Very impressed. Taxi turned up bang on time. Nice driver.

Kerwin Milne 2018-04-03
Greens were good but a bit slow. Did'nt really enjoy playing the back 9 holes especially 12 thru-16. Staff very friendly. Food served by the drinks buggy was very poor. Bread tasted stale.

Alves pires 2018-04-01
Challenging course for a first experience. But we loved it. Service was great and personnel very nice. We will come back 100% sure

Gary Watts 2018-03-30
Unfortunately the wind was over 20 mph on the day which spoiled the day a little, but the course was in great condition, and the greeting from all of the staff and assistance was excellent. Would definately go back.

William Bones 2018-03-13
Excellent service at both courses where we played. Courses in excellent condition and there was no queuing on the tees.

tony Laframboise 2018-02-01
Great service, wonderful course

Dominik L. Zuhorn 2018-01-04
Ein interessanter, herausfordernder und anstrengender Golfplatz. Leider wurde die Abfolge der Flights nicht gut organisiert, so dass es an einigen Löchern zu Wartezeiten kam. Rate: 6

Des Allen 2017-12-05
All in all we were very well attended for at the club on arrival, at breakfast and on the course, really can't complain about any of that. However on our return to the bar after the round the barman had rather odd attitude. When spoken too he ignored the request so you never knew if he had heard you, so on checking with him making the request a 2nd time, he then replied ''I heard you'' he did this two or there times that I am aware of. The same was also pointed out to me by a friend. Very strange. other than this no complaint, all very good.

This place has everything, great course in good condition and friendly staff.

max de groot 2017-11-13
Beatiful and well maintained course with excellent holes and greens. However for this green fee we would expert much better facilities for walking the course. The Faldo course seems exclusively arranged for buggies since the many stone paths are very slippery to walk and the fairways can only be reached by lifting your trolley over the ropes and stone walls alongside the paths. Please allow also fit and fast playing walking golfers!

Richard Bell 2017-11-04
Course in good condition, very enjoyable

Paul Maxwell 2017-10-09
great

Jim Reid 2017-10-08
Very difficult course and our h'caps were all between scratch and 3. We said before we went we would play off yellow tees and when we got there, we started on whites, which was a mistake. We rated this as 6th

Graham Johnson 2017-10-02
Lovely course. From arriving at reception to collecting buggy, playing and returning, all the staff were most helpful

Liam Kearns 2017-09-20
Very good course and friendly staff. Maybe better to play it a second time to get the best from it as some shots were blind to the first timer.

Chris Hutchinson 2017-09-18
First class

Paul Beard 2017-09-14
Very nice condition but very very slow round

Bill Crittle 2017-08-29
Enjoyed the game and day well organised. The course was in good condition, some of the bunkers were compacted difficult to come out off best to avoid them!!

Brendan Collins 2017-06-27
Outstanding course, free buggy included though needed because of the hills and distance from greens to tees.

David Shaw 2017-05-28
Too difficult for a mid handicap senior.

Tomas Daul 2017-05-25
Great resort and golf courses

Ian Green 2017-05-15
Course was in fantastic condition and was a real test, highly recommended.

Ian Fisher 2017-05-08
Superb course & facilities.

Marc Luthi 2017-05-05
Beautiful course. Good value with buggy included in price.

Karel Reznicek 2017-04-27
perfect maintained golfcourse but a bit more demanding

Michael Richardson 2017-03-10
Very good in all aspects

simon walkley 2016-11-30
Rain and wind but we finished the round- probably will not play again as we all found it just too challenging

Rainer Albath 2016-11-28
tee boxes are totaly damaged..... the waste areas have really strange material... you damage your clubs when you have to play there... this is strange....

John Deveney 2016-11-18
Played it for 1st time, will go back. Staff excellent.

Andrew Wiliam Gates 2016-10-23
Fantastic course, absolutely the greatest most expansive and ginormous I've played. However the buggies failing 3/4 of the way round soured my experience.

John Slaven 2016-10-13
Would never play Faldo again after paying a lot of money for a round of golf and being forced to go out with another couple ( Man and woman ) this is ridiculous considering costs.

Ian lewis 2016-10-13
Fantastic course will rebook in the future

David McCrone 2016-08-20
Very enjoyable

Celio Carreto 2016-07-06
Good as every time.

PAUL BUTTERWORTH 2016-06-30
fantastic course in superb condition. hardly anybody else on the course. flew round in just over 3 hours. may try the O'Connor course next time, it was closed when we were there, but looked great also.

Steve Russell 2016-06-29
Greens too slow

Tommy Grehan 2016-06-28
golf course is too tough for holiday golf

Nicholas Kjelgaard 2016-06-26
We all loved this course. The 5 hour round was a bit painful, but did not distract from how lovely the course is. Some really good holes and when you cross the road and go up this hill it is a lot of fun.

Philip Buck 2016-06-22
We played this on a Saturday and unfortunately it was very slow it took us 6 hours for our round.

david shannon 2016-06-21
Excellent condition for a resort course and some tricky blind shots, look forward to playing it again when know where we are going. Like O'Connor, bunkers probably only disappointment, very varied in sand condition. Having played the Faldo course at Lough Erne in Northern Ireland, this one is almost as good. Buggies are essential as it would be a very long walk, up and down hills.

Alain COSTE 2016-06-13
Excellent parcours, un cadre de collines magnifique et prestations exceptionnelles. Bon accueil Parcours assez sportif, heureusement qu'il y a des buggies Demande une bonne condition physique, car trous très longs

Ian Green 2016-06-06
Rained off the day we were due to play the course.

Stephen Jago 2016-05-26
Must say we were so looking forward to this golf course and was disappointed did not enjoy this course.

Jason Whalley 2016-05-04
Superb experience but very very tough course with 'challenges' everywhere. Customer service absolutely superb - the one criticism is that I felt it was difficult for being difficult's sake. You would hit a perfectly good shot yet get penalised for it - definitely one of those courses where the 2nd round would be far better as you know what to expect.

Mark King 2016-05-01
I think the design of the Faldo course is for the low handicap player as a result I scored below what i would expect. That said the course was beautifully presented with quality greens, fairways and bunkers.

Eriks Eglitis 2016-04-15
Great course, great experience. Only minor glitch: was not clear how to operate locker key card, no instructions in English in locker room. Looking forward to play here again.

Paul Froome 2016-03-31
The faldo course was superb but far too busy and took over 6 hours. This was fairly ridiculous. They were the only course we played from 9 courses who didnt have a marshall and certainly the one who needed it the most.

Trevor Wills 2016-02-04
Quite a testing course for a 22 handicapper, particularly the carry required for the drives but a beautiful course and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Fiedler, Manfred 2016-01-31
Hervorragend

David Lyng 2015-12-10
Enjoyed playing this course. Course was in great condition. the damage caused by the flooding did not effect the enjoyment of the course. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Barton Fields 2015-12-07
Very good clubhouse and service.Golf course itself a bit strange in design but thats Nick faldo for you. Wouldn't rush back.The weakest of the three courses.

Doris Hormann 2015-11-25
Schöner, gepflegter Platz. Die Schäden des Unwetters waren kaum noch spürbar.

olga 2015-11-13
Closed because the rain of 1st november. We received a voucher avalaible for one year (see above)

Very good course, excellent practice facilities some of our less able golfers (15, 16, 18 HCP) found it too hard.

Gerda Overwater 2015-10-29
Wonderful views from the golden tee boxes. Very difficult course but great! Will be there again. Friendly staff.

Jimmy rogers 2015-10-26
Very good. Very long course. Very pretty.

Doug Montgomery 2015-10-23
good day out, very welcoming and course in great condition

Gary Attewell 2015-10-18
Very hard course.for the big hitters

Chez Carlos Golf Society Tournament @ Oceanico Faldo 2011-09-08
Terracotta coloured soil contrast to the expansive golden bunkers. The full effect of the course takes shape on the back nine as players wind their way up the hillside. The 15th tee is at the peak and the complex spreads out ahead of you with its sister course, O Connor Jnr, in the distance - a great vista. All players arrived in good time and many made good use of the superb free practice facilities on offer. Betterball stableford pairs was today's format off the yellow's tee (5858mts). For the record behind these are a further two tees! The course was in superb shape and the off fairway bushes, pampas grasses and plants have given the course that extra maturity since last time I played it. Graham Newman found a stead fast partner with Bomber and carded a great 44pts to steal the show from father and son Shane and Shandon. Once again a fine spread laid on by Parkys Bar in Vilamoura.
