Vale do Lobo Ocean

The Ocean Golf Course at Vale do Lobo resort, features undulating fairways which run alongside nature reserve, before leading gently down to the shores of the Atlantic.|Its emblematic holes are two challenging and spectacular Par 4s, the 11th and the 14th – which treat golfers to some of the most spectacular views in the Algarve - and the Par 3 15th, which runs alongside the beach. The Ocean Course is composed of two of the original 9-hole golf courses designed by Sir Henry Cotton, which were opened in 1968 and 1972. His plans for the merged course became reality in 1995, after his death.

Vale do Lobo Ocean - latest comments and reviews

Ellenor Dunbar 2024-03-27
The course was in good condition and its location is fabulous. I was disappointed in one of the buggies as the edge of the seat was badly ripped . As we paid Euro 55, I expected better. Apparently they are going to change all buggies however, in the meantime, they should reduce the price.

News - Golf in Portugal - Vale do lobo Ocean course 2021-07-15
We played yesterday at Vale do Lobo Ocean course on a hot day, but a sea breeze made it very pleasant.
  We were 18 players of various nationalities, Portuguese, English, French, Swedish, Scottish and Irish, it is worth mentioning these last two nationalities.
  The golf course was in perfect condition, with some greens that were fast and smooth but soft at the reception of the ball, a pleasure to play.
  The course is long and has miscellaneous holes, the front nine being played in the north and west part of the resort and the back nine next to the Atlantic, which provides breath taking views and allows for some shots with the murmur of the sea in your ear. It is worth paying attention to the spectacular views on holes 11, 14 and 15. Very good.
  The winner this day was Ian Godfrey with 38 points, followed by Fraser Graham with 33pt, and in 3rd 2 players with 30pt Jim Gillis and Peter Collins. Nearest the pin, on 13th, a narrow green well protected by deep bunkers was won by David Ziai, who placed the ball 3 meters from the flag.
  We all return to our usual Restaurant in Vilamoura for some drinks and our free nibbles generously offered by João Filipe. Another day well spent.

The driving range is a joke. Limited space and only up to iron 9 allowed. Never come back again. The course is ok.

Kenneth C McDonald 2024-03-22
Buggy’s weren’t ready. Had to wait on buggy’s coming off the course and the one they gave us ran out of charge by the 4th hole

Horst Hubig 2024-03-13
Toiletten iauf den Plätzen in Vale do Lobo gehören renoviert. Ocean course im besseren Zustand,als im Jahr 2023. Greenkeeping in Ordnung. -**- Toilets on the courses in Vale do Lobo should be renovated. Ocean course in better condition than in 2023. Greenkeeping in good order.

We enjoyed playing the Ocean course, some of the fairways are not in the best condition. The green were firm and putted nicely if you got on the wrong side of the hole it's a challenge to keep the ball on the green particularly with the flags at the front of the green.

Sean Verity 2024-02-20
Greens were pretty soft but ran well and a reasonable speed. Course is in ok condition and would be better if people repaired pitch marks and replaced divots. Pace of play a bit slow.

Patrick Kearney 2024-02-12
I like the course and staff were lovely and helpful however the pace was too slow, not the problem of people in front of us but the ones ahead of them and they did not care, we did not finish last 3 holes so we’re disappointed

Kristiane Peuten 2024-01-07
nice golf course but the greens were verified and not good to play

Alexander Male Phillips 2023-11-28
Some tee boxes in poor condition. Current work to 10th tee was not advertised in advance. Overall though was very enjoyable.

Mark Hughes 2023-11-14
My personal favourite of the two courses on this complex. Interesting holes which take in views of the ocean in places. There was some drainage work being undertaken on one of the holes, it would have been nice to have been advised of this by the starter prior to teeing off. Round times are long and there was no marshal.The practice facilities are limited in comparison to other courses. Clubhouse is shared with the Royal course but copes adequately with the volume of players.

Kevin Maguire 2023-11-13
Everyone to a man were very dissapointed with the state of the course from the paths, fairways, bunkers in a bad state and particularly the greens .Plus it took 5 hours to play the 18 holes which is not good when on a buggy. The staff were lovely from the lady at the reception to the starter and the lads looking after the buggies.

Roddy Grant 2023-10-22
1st time at Val Do Lobo, really enjoyed it. The courses & Clubhouse were very busy but the staff coped well.
