Pinheiros Altos Golf Course located within the well-known Quinta do Lago estate, within the golfing world it is known as providing a mental challenge due to well placed hazards. Bordering the 18,300 hectares of Natural Park of Ria Formosa which provides a habitat for many species of birds and has much interesting vegetation.|Pinheiros Altos is a combination of 27 holes composed by three groups of 9 holes named Oliveiras (Olives), Pinheiros (Pines) and Sobreiros (Corks), respectively. This highly original and distinctive course possesses completely opposing characteristics. The original 18-hole course of Pinheiros Altos was well-known for its contrasting nines. While the first 9-hole are over rolling sandy undergrowth with gentle pine trees, the shorter second 9-hole runs through hills dotted with lakes that present the main obstacle for the golfers on this course.

Obviously the course is recovering, but was much better than expected. The staff were very friendly, and could not have done more to make our experience better.

Staff are great as normal,l payed the Olives front nine and Pines the back nine. The course is looking a little worn in some areas and there are a number of bare lies on fairways. The greens are in over all good condition whilst a few have treatment marks to maintain condition. No restaurant or bar at this time of the year, but would arrange delivery of sandwiches and drinks to you on the course.

1st time visiting- friendly welcome & more relaxed /quieter than other courses in the area. Interesting track - two contrasting nines - we played Corks & Olives - the Corks weaved through the trees & precision was key - whereas the Olive was more open / flatter with water in play on many holes. Enjoyable visit.

We had had reports that the course was suffering and we were apprehensive when we arrived. However we need not have been worried. Even with the bad weather that had passed through the area it was in great condition. We played the Olives first and everyone was impressed as we had not played this 9 before, and then the Pines which was just as good a we remember. A great alternative to its expensive neighbours.
