Martin Mungovan 2025-10-07
Top class course and overall experience. The course is right up there with Monte Rei. Everything in immaculate condition with great staff, modern serviced buggies and on course service. A brilliant day and look forward to returning

haaye DE JONG 2025-10-06
a warm up hitting cage close to the tees or on the parking would be helpful until they have a range

Kevin Gould 2025-10-05
The course is in great condition & very interesting. The golf team are excellent

Charles Stuart Larkin 2025-09-29
Great round, challenging and interesting front 9, starting with 2 par 5s. Course in great condition, staff very friendly and helpful and lovely place to grab some food after.

Tim Moon 2025-09-29
Fantastic course and great food and drink.

Euan Esslemont 2025-09-25
Spectacular! But front nine should be back nine.

Olav Burmester 2025-09-22
Sehr schöner Golfplatz, toller Service. Die Speisen könnten für den Preis etwas besser ausfallen

Tony Roberts 2025-09-18
Superb course, greens, fairway perfect. Club house amazing. Overall a brilliant experience, looking forward to going again

Simon Grover 2025-09-17
Excellent course, it's disappointing no food before 12 noon. Golfers want breakfast you are missing out.

Declan Mccarthy 2025-09-17
What a golf course!!! Excellent condition, fast greens and really good staff. Top class and would love another go at it.

Darren Lamb 2025-09-17
Lovely front nine, with some very interesting and difficult holes. Staff very helpful

ALLAN MACKENZIE 2025-09-15
Course in fantastic condition greens super fast and staff were very friendly and helpful

Patrick Parkinson 2025-09-14
all staff - golf and leisure - were great, polite, helpful and couldn’t do enough to make the experience a good one

Steve Threader 2025-09-14
A really good course. We played from the back tees with a bit of wind blowing and it was a good test, especially the first five holes. It has some spectacular elevation changes and some of the holes are close together so can feel slightly cramped but well worth a visit

Jim Sutherland 2025-09-05
The staff at Ombria were very friendly and helpful. The course was in good condition given it was the end of the summer. It’s a course you have to plan your way around!!

Aubrey Murnaghan 2025-08-30
Course is impressive and improved in all areas since opening . Only negative and is is in mind to care for the course, there should be divot/ seed bags on each buggy to repair divots and no harm having ice bucket on each buggy . GPS on each buggy is a great improvement from one buggy in each group last year . Condition of course excellent and staff also 10/10

Ian Hartis 2025-08-26
Excellent course and friendly helpful staff

Scott Walton 2025-08-20
Really enjoyed Ombria. The location is beautiful and the course was in very good condition.

Adrian Freedman 2025-08-12
I was impressed with how easy it was to book. Ombria Golf Club found my booking straight away and the club and golf were very good.

Miguel Bernardo Da Silva Gaspar 2025-08-07
Staff was great and the course is in amazing shape

Marc Dellow 2025-08-06
Great Course Ombria, brilliant staff and service in club house, lots of parking and good shop. Wish it had a driving range. Course is in great condition and service is brilliant.

Eric Deprey 2025-08-05
Marvellous course Friendly welcome!!

Jose Fernandez 2025-08-04
Some improvements

Conor McCloskey 2025-07-31
Great staff and great course

Peter Mitchell 2025-07-24
Fabulous new addition to the portfolio. After a short drive into the foothills we received a warm welcome at Ombria golf course - we were met in the car park by a member of the team in a buggy ready to take us (and our clubs) up to the clubhouse. We were then set up with our own buggies and introduced to the course before teeing off - lovely day, lovely (challenging) course. We will definitely be back.

Darren Howlett 2025-07-22
First visit and we loved it, played it wrong way round so the more picturesque and difficult holes were our back 9 which maybe added something to our enjoyment, treated very well on arrival. Wet towels twice which were needed!

Robert Martin 2025-07-18
?????????? Ombria Golf Resort – A Hidden Gem in the Heart of the Algarve Tucked away in the rolling hills just north of Loulé, Ombria Golf Resort delivers an unforgettable golfing experience that blends luxury, nature, and challenge in equal measure. The course layout is stunning—designed to harmonise with the natural landscape, offering panoramic views, varied elevation, and clever use of the terrain. Each hole feels unique, with a perfect balance of risk and reward that keeps you thinking from the first tee to the final green. The design respects the surrounding environment, and you get a real sense of tranquillity as you play through cork trees, valleys, and streams. The condition of the course was superb. Fairways were immaculate, the greens rolled true, and the bunkers were well-maintained with excellent sand quality. It’s clear the grounds team takes pride in their work. What truly sets Ombria apart, though, is the service. From the moment you arrive, the staff are warm, professional, and genuinely enthusiastic about the resort. The clubhouse is sleek and modern, with excellent practice facilities and a relaxed, upscale atmosphere that enhances the overall experience. Ombria may be one of the Algarve’s newer additions, but it already feels like a classic in the making. A must-play for anyone seeking a premium, peaceful round of golf away from the bustle of the coastal tracks. Superb course highly recommended

Marc Dellow 2025-07-13
Great Course, excellent layout, great service love playing Ombria always a fantastic venue.

Terry Dickinson 2025-07-12
It’s one of the best courses but the greens, having been recently treated, weren’t up to scratch

Steve Grant 2025-07-12
Greens had been hollow typed but it is a necessary maintenance thing and it is low season. Rest on very good condition, always a good test.

Oleg Khusaenov 2025-07-06
Quite a challenging golf course due to the first shots from large elevation changes. But the course is very memorable. It is somewhat similar to Amendoeiras Faldo. But this course is even more challenging. The course is in very well-kept condition.

Mike Smith 2025-06-28
Exceptional from start to finish. Everybody went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after.

Barney Toms 2025-06-20
Great condition, slow round due to lots of 4-balls in front. But overall all very good.

Andrew Peden 2025-06-19
Front start to finish the service was fantastic, the course was stunning and interesting, buggies are essential, we will be back

Simon Mcelroy 2025-06-15
Fantastic complex and resort. The course was very challenging and well thought out. Only issues were the distance of the putting green from the first tee and the lack of driving range.

Barney Toms 2025-06-14
Lovely course, great condition and a 4hr round!

Ronan Nolan 2025-06-07
Would have scored this a ten but had minor issues finding my way from green to tee in some of the earlier holes in the course. Otherwise an absolutely beautiful course and a real test. Can’t wait to come back to have another round.

Eoghan Lenihan 2025-06-07
Absolute top quality course & facilities. Outstanding staff.

Mrs Julia D Walker 2025-06-05
Excellent course, will definitely play again...

neil lewis 2025-06-05
Staff couldn’t do enough for us were outstanding from the start, course is beautifully maintained and has some great holes.

Bent Hessel 2025-06-05
Beautiful course

Mart Meijer 2025-05-24
Really nice, beautifully maintained course

Lyne Gélinas 2025-05-22
Wow! very beautiful golf course Good shape everything was perfect It’s the number one for every body

Daniel Davis 2025-05-22
Great course, well kept, good service. Very disappointing that they didn’t let one of us drive a buggy round or walk with the group as he was injured. Ruined his day

Ben Wright 2025-05-19
Stunning golf course and clubhouse. Only let down by lack of facilities out on the course. No water in the carts and only had one visit from the bar buggy in 2 rounds. Load up with your own supplies before heading out.

Pascal Broussoux 2025-05-06
sublime golf

Really enjoyed playing the course, which was in very good condition. The course was very busy, but as a single I still managed a 3 & a half hour round

Mark Castle 2025-04-22
Stunning holes and landscape but fairways not as good as Quinta courses. Standard has dropped a little from when I played it last September

Joseph Demeri 2025-04-18
Great assistance TY

WILL 2025-04-18
Friendly staff and a great course - highly reccomend!

Neil Rodgerson 2025-04-17
Fantastic layout. Greens really good. Fairways poor. Rushed by Starter to tee off 10 mins early. Ranger, Constantly at players to speed up, although always waiting on shots. 4hrs 15 mins. 15mins ahead if schedule.

Lauermann Andreas 2025-04-13
Very interesting course and also top service

Steve Dayton 2025-04-13
Wonderful

Paul Pheby 2025-04-12
A unique track with two very differing nines. Spectacular setting in a valley for the first 9 with elevated tees and fabulous views. Accuracy off the tees will set you up for approaches. If you are wayward bring plenty of balls with you. Second 9 is a much gentler experience. We started on Hole 1 which was not usual as most starts are off the 10th. Buggy essential for all but the superhuman. Great course, nice facilities. Overall, a top afternoon out.

Chris Horton 2025-04-07
Oh my.!! Lovely course in a beautiful setting but as a lot of others have said the signage needs to improve on some holes to avoid confusion. Despite 4 messages to the clubhouse no buggy service until 14th hole.????

David Laird 2025-04-06
First class.

Jon Burrows 2025-04-04
Excellent course, staff were really friendly and helpful. Only minor complaint was that the drinks cart didn’t appear until the 18th tee.

Leopold Haider 2025-03-21
Excelent course

Vanessa culshaw 2025-03-19
Very rushed buggy checkin. Started on 10th? No driving range offered. Buggy computer system had a lot of problems. Interesting and challenging course but 2-3 years of maturing needed for grass. Fairways and back 9 tee boxes virtually bald. Clubhouse and shop beautiful. Would return in a few years once course matures.

John Harte 2025-03-14
Wow, great course, especially the back 9.

Peter Maxfield 2025-03-13
To be honest not my sort of course, several hole going up and down a mountain to save space is not my idea of a good golf course, these holes were gimicky

John Little 2025-03-12
a stunningly beautiful golf course which will be a firm favourite for future trips. once again the staff were very helpful and courteous. big thank you to Marisa for the recommendation

Carl Hegarty 2025-03-11
It is the second time we have played it. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Gerald Nuessel 2025-03-07
Sehr schwer, großartiger Zustand, sehr freundliches Personal, leider alles übertrieben teuer an der Bar

Neil Coyne 2025-03-05
Stunning golf course. A great experience all round.

David McKee 2025-03-04
First time here, and it won't be our last. Excellent customer service. Shame some work ongoing on the course, and issues with the buggies stopping despite not being in a restricted area. perhaps some signs on the course to show where restricted areas are would be helpful.

Jaroslav Mraz 2025-03-02
+ interesting course design + helpfulness of the staff - too challenging for recreational players - fairway quality very poor - facilities (restaurant) small

Peter Jeffery 2025-02-26
Great to play, really strange set up with practice area, but a lovely club house, staff were very friendly and helpful

Conor McCloskey 2025-02-25
Love this place!

Steve Flood 2025-02-19
Great course and staff are all excellent

Josette Franken 2025-02-18
Ombria Golf Resort  A beautiful but, difficult new golf course (take enough balls with you).  It is the 2nd time we have played here. We were there when the course was just open in 2024. The course is very challenging, especially the 1st nine, which are more attractive than the 2nd. This is, of course, a personal opinion. The staff are super friendly, especially the Marshall, who thinks outside the box. Because it was quite busy, he had figured it would be smarter for us to start on hole 10. Unfortunately, even there it was busy, so finally, we started on the 17th hole. Regrettably, from Hole 5, we ran into the flight ahead of us who had started on Hole 1 about the same or slightly ahead of us on Hole 17. But they also ran into the flight in front of them. A (Dutch) group of approx. 12 people (and from my point of view, they had a big gap ahead of them).  The Marshal informed us when he brought us to the 17th hole that if we wanted, we could play holes 17 & 18 a second time, but after all the waiting (we had played some of the greens a few times), we thought it was enough and returned to the clubhouse.  As for the green fee, we had a nice special rate, the winter rate, that was very pleasant. I wish to point out that the normal green fees are much more expensive, but that is nowadays applicable to all golf courses in the Algarve.  This is very regrettable, I think, that green fees in the Algarve are getting too expensive. Especially as a flight is almost always booked up. I am not in favour of this. Especially not when I have to pay more than €150 for a round of golf.  The Ombria complex is very nice, especially now that the hotel, apartments, restaurants, etc... are as good as finished.  In my opinion, if you stay in Ombria you will be fully accommodated to all your wishes and have a great.  As for us, we would love to come back, but with a special green fee deal !!

Ian Hanley 2025-02-11
Signage is confusing. Lack of passing places. No driving range or nets. Course is a good test particularly the first 5 holes. Service by staff is excellent bar and changing rooms excellent

Halper Johannes 2025-02-08
Sehr schöner Platz, gut gepflegt, Personal sehr freundlicher.

Ewout Wijkhuizen 2025-02-08
Fantastic

Marie-Jacqueline Leconte 2025-02-07
Very pleasent course, technical and in really good conditions. Always happy to play there. Challenging with perfect greens. Buggy absolutely necessary.

Mick Long 2025-02-04
Great course , well designed a bit Brown!

Colin Dick 2025-02-03
This is a fantastic golf course, we played the back nine first then the front nine. I think this is the best way it should be played. The greens had a small amount of dew on them, but disappeared after the first few holes. The greens were quick after this. The course was a bit wet in places due to the amount of rain.

John Reynolds 2025-02-03
Very welcoming and very professionally run course experience

Dirk Pahlke 2025-02-02
Spectacular course in great condition. Unfortunately we mixed up hole 3 and 5

Mark Boon 2025-01-27
The course is a real pleasure to play two totally different nines. A buggy is definitely required and good it comes in the price. Although the Algarve had had a lot of rain the course was in good condition. Staff were helpful and friendly. We will be back again.

Marsha Saptenno 2025-01-14
High end level Service and support as from the moment entering the golf course property by taxi till the very last minute going home again. Service: all with a big smile Golf course: above and beyond Little note for ladies: I have never seen toilets during a round, which were as impecable as they were !! Utterly clean with soft toilet paper and lady amendities for when needed.

Tim Browne 2025-01-12
Not a great golf course particularly the first nine. Slightly peculiar arrangements but very helpful staff. Nice restaurant but expensive

Elizabeth Dunn-Butler 2025-01-06
Fun course and really interesting clubhouse. Greens were great and overall a good set up.

Jan Texler 2024-10-28
A tough course to play for the first time, especially the front nine. Good course management is important. Good service, but overall for me it is not value for money.

Philip Kucharski 2024-10-19
Our prefrerred course at Vale do Lobo

Euan Esslemont 2024-10-09
Unfortunately, was not able to fully comment as only got to play 5 holes owing to heavy rain! However club staff were very attentive from the minute we arrived! Superb service. From what we did see of course, it was of high quality. Superb true and quick greens. Desperate to visit again in better weather to fully experience.

Les Howard 2024-09-21
Reasonable course very playable but will not rush back

Monika Franck 2024-09-15
It was a nice course with spectacular teeshots. It was a little bit annoying, that we didn't have good information by arriving and the slow game, 5 hours

Thys 2024-07-20
No ice at the start! Confusing signs between holes Complex layout

Howard Browning 2024-07-11
I had originally booked a 9.00am tee time and recived a confirmation email. Ten minutes later I received another email stating a 9.20 tee time. I checked with tee times.pt and they confirmed 9.20. Imagine my surprise when we arrived at Ombria reception to have them say no it’s 9.00am. Fortunately we had just enough time to get to the tee, but it confused the caddie master and we didn’t our clubs back for 15minutes. Very pleasant staff everywhere , and the introduction chat on the first tee even included the offer that as the club has no practice facilities, every golfer is allowed a mulligan from the mountain edge that is the first tee. What the starter should have told everyone was it was their duty to repair their pitch marks on the green, as sadly the greens were riddled with them, and I found myself repairing up to 6 on every hole! When will these ‘golfers’ ever learn? There didn’t appear to be any dress code at the club, as I saw two 30 somethings playing in tee shirts, beach shorts and trainers. Is it really asking too much to wear a polo shirt? Our biggest gripe was the completely inadequate course green to tee direction markings, tiny signs placed in the wrong place made us go wrong several times, including at the 8th, where we naturally followed the path up and ended up on the road, which caused the buggy to be locked from going forward, so I ad no choice but to reverse out onto the road and somehow back down to the path, crazy! Having played the 17th, we followed the only route all the way up the same path as the one serving the 10th, and isn’t wide enough for two carts to pass. Eventually arriving at the 18th, perched high up across from the car park ,you are faced with one of the most disappointing closing holes I’ve ever played. Blind dogleg left at just 274m. It’s blind becuase of the trees , and the only way to see the hole was to walk all the way to the front tees and peek round. I’m guessing it’s meant to be a risk or reward hole as the green is drivable , but for goodness sake cut down the trees to allow the view and hole to taken in. Lastly having played the 18th, you have to drive all the way back up the same path, so you are at risk of being hit by the following group s drives. Back at the road, there were NO signs whatsoever showing you the way back to the clubhouse. Overall, it was a visually pleasing course although very short in comparison to most courses.

Stuart Montgomery 2024-07-10
Course has shaped up nicely since first playing in Jan. Greens were good - course design is interesting. One criticism is lack lack of signage when leaving greens to next tee or clubhouse.

Nick Fry 2024-05-15
Stroke 1 hole - 9th impossible drive for any players not single handicap - carry far too long off 53 tees

Thor Hellenaes 2024-05-10
Visually a very nice course, some holes has an extrem hight difference. A few blind shots, but in general a good layout. Quality of the course is good.

Scott Couper 2024-05-02
Great course. Not walkable and head buggy master very rude about people taking buggies. I sat in buggy with another person and was told to get out then five mins later to get back into it. Not he service expected at that price.

Mike Smith 2024-04-29
Course is in very good condition. 1st time playing it , was interesting

Robin Prescott 2024-04-22
Difficult course for the inexperienced, also some unfair breaks on fairways following a good shot, on the back nine. Needs more on course signs. Didn’t like the collar of rough surrounding the greens

Michael FitzPatrick 2024-04-18
12 GOLFERS RANGING FROM 5 HANDICAPPER TO 26 HANDICAPPER . 11 OUT OF 12 PLAYERS UNHAPPY WITH DAY. CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEY ASSIGNESD A COURSE RATING OF 68.6 AND SLOPE 127 WHICH MEANT EVERY PLAYER PLAYED OFF A LESSER HANDICAP THAN NORMAL. THE FIRST TEE SHOT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS PLAYERS ARE APPROACHING ON THE 8TH FAIRWAY VERY CLOSE TO THE FIRST FAIRWAY. THE STARTER TOLD US TO TEE OFF REGARDLESS. (WE DIDN'T). THE FIRST 8 HOLES ARE A MESS OF A DESIGN WITH HOLES VERY CLOSE TOGETHER AND CONFUSING CARTPATHS WITH TRAFFIC IN TWO DIRECTION AT TIMES. HOLE 9 TO 18 MUCH BETTER. CONDITION OF FAIRWAYS AND GREENS WAS EXCELLENT ALL ROUND, BUT SCRUB AREAS ON THE FAR SIDE OF PATHS GAVE NO REAL RELIEF IF YOUR BALL WAS ON THE PATH AT THAT SIDE. BUGGIES HAS NO ICEBOX, NO WATER SUPPLIED AND NO SAND IN DIVOT FILLER. THE FOOD CART WAS PROMPT AND AVAILABLE BUT EXPENSIVE. IN SHORT NOT A SUITABLE COURSE FOR RESORT GOLF, WON'T BE BACK

James Sutherland 2024-04-01
First time. Super staff. Course being relatively new the fairways were a bit patchy. Greens were by far the quickest of the three courses we played.

Helen Pettitt 2024-03-11
Was excited to play a new course but expectations were not met. Lack of driving range /nets disappointing for the green fee - so you tee off cold. Back nine were OK but still tight and front nine far too narrow and tricked up par threes - as built 9 holes on too small a piece of land. Would not rush back nor would the 2 groups we met whilst playing. Property development looks lovely - modern twist on a traditional hill top village.Just shame about the course

Nick Fry 2024-02-11
Poor signage around course. Buggy nav/score card showing different to paper score card for both index & length. Challenging course. Staff very friendly.

Warrick Dawson 2024-02-02
Needs more time to bed in and potentially dangerous in one area. To get the best from the course you need to have played it more than once.

Alain Cardoso 2024-01-28
Golf course is in good conditions but fairways a bit dry and grass is getting too short. Would like to have balls washers near the tees on every hole. Would like to start the round from he hole 10th, the putting green is there and starting on the course is more friendly than the current hole 1

Conor McCloskey 2024-01-15
Disappointed in the condition of the course. Grass seems burnt

Rob van Kuijen 2024-01-08
Not easy to find the reception, reception is ok, people in the camper outside for a small drink must learn wat is hospitality !,

Kristiane Peuten 2024-01-07
Golf course very remote - difficult to play and some tees were not very good visible
