The Old Course - the name saying it all. Situated in the heart of the Vilamoura seaside resort a mere 20-minute drive from Faro airport, this Frank Pennink designed parkland style layout is one of the oldest in the region and renowned all over the golfing world. Often described as the Grande Dame of Algarve courses, it meanders throughout impressive pinetrees - the principal hazard - over gently undulating natural terrain.|In addition to raising the Vilamoura Old Course to new heights of quality, an attractive new clubhouse and adjacent putting green were also built at that time. As with all Vilamoura courses, environmental protection practices are strictly adhered to by means of detailed management systems in line with guidelines established by ISO 14001 standards, Green Globe and Committed to Green programmes.

Greens in horrendous condition. No mention of it prior to booking. Everything else good

Course was in reasonable condition albeit a lot of work being done and the greens were somewhat bobbly. I was unaware that the facilities would be unavailable and coupled with the work on the course I find it hard to believe that the cost wasn’t discounted to take this into account.

hi the staff were amazing , but we really should have been told about the work happening on the course beforehand , chain saws and construction work is really not what we expected from the the most expensive course of our trip. we would have much preferred to play another course if we were made aware of this. The Millennium and Pinnal were fantastic but the old course was a let down

Compared to previous years just a bit disappointed at the condition of the greens. They had recently been worked on but not great condition. Not made aware (made our booking 10 months ago)
The work on clubhouse and infrastructure of paths etc didnt impact on golf much and is understood no doubt will enhance things in future.
