A very unrewarding course, especially in a howling gale! Lovely clubhouse.

Nice course but had an altercation with a player. Also, stuck behind a 4-ball who blatently didn't understand about letting people through if they are looking for their balls. No marshall on the course to manage this.

Fantastic Greens but the design of the course requires too much accuracy for a regular golfer as 10 and 17 handicappers I wouldn't expect to lose 12 balls between us.

The course is dry and the fairways are very sloped so a good drive may end up in the rough or worse. The greens were in good shape.

Overall in pretty good condition. Friendly staff and good service. Greens not perfect, but perfect for the price.

Course is good condition. Driving Range is in bad condition, sand with some grass in between. Short game area is ok. Good restaurant, but waiters sometimes slow.

Unfortunately Espiche had no buggy’s, as they were all booked out. The course was interesting but with some punishing cross sloops which swing even a good shot into trouble. Its certainly a course you need to play a few times understand the lines. Also they need water. It’s dry as a bone already.
From the works around the course they are putting in new irrigation, reclaimed treated I would guess. I think I will wait until this is working before I return but it is a good test, insane in places but a good test. ( I thought the days of 300 + yard drives were gone but no a 540 yard par 5 was reduced to a drive and 7 iron uphill.).

With Espiche being an hours drive from Vilamoura the teetime of 1.20 pm was to late. The pace was slow and as the course is challenging with people were looking for balls. By the 11th hole we realised we would not be finished until around 6.30pm and decided to quit. I would like to play Espiche again but it would need to be a teetime of between 11 and not later than 12. Also a shortage of buggies caused problems for some players.

Great layout. Still need to let the semi rough grow to stop balls running in to trees/ scrub. Can be very unfair. Will speed play up massively

Greens not at there best.
The course is very difficult for high handicap golfers.

We arrived straight from an early flight, the course was in good condition but the greens were not of an excellent standard we would perhaps give them 6/10 they did not have a complete covering of grass and were quite bobbly. The course layout is good, but some sharp inclines to walk up but nothing too bad. It was a good venue for an opening round for tired golfers.

Der Golfplatz liegt wunderschön. Er ist neben den Fairways sehr naturbelassen.. Eigentlich ist dieser Golfplatz ein Juwel. Aber da die Fairways sehr schmal sind, ist hier ei sehr präzises Spiel verlangt. Das wäre ja auch gut, aber leider hängen die Faiways, sodass die Bälle durch das sehr sehr kurz gemäht Gras und den knochenharten Boden in den Büschen verschwinden.. wmWenn es einmal passiert, dann kann man noch mit "den Schultern zucken". Aber nach dem 7. verschwundenen Ball wird es ärgerlich. Man sollte mal vom Management überlegen, das Gras ein wenig höher wachsen zu lassen, damit die Bälle gehalten werden können. So macht das Golfen keinen Spaß. Aus diesem Grund muss ich leider eine schlechte Bewertung abgeben. -**- The golf course is beautifully situated. It is very natural next to the fairways. This golf course is actually a jewel. But as the fairways are very narrow, a very precise game is required here. That would be a good thing, but unfortunately the fairways hang so that the balls disappear into the bushes due to the very short mown grass and the bone-hard ground... wmIf it happens once, you can still "shrug your shoulders". But after the 7th ball disappears, it gets annoying. The management should consider letting the grass grow a little higher so that the balls can be held. Golf is no fun like this. For this reason, I unfortunately have to give it a poor rating.
