The Old Course – A Timeless Classic, Elevated
Located in the heart of Vilamoura, just 20 minutes from Faro Airport, The Old Course is one of the Algarve’s most iconic layouts. Designed by Frank Pennink, this parkland-style course winds through majestic pine trees, creating both beauty and challenge.
Recent renovations have further enhanced its legacy, with a modernised clubhouse, an upgraded driving range featuring TrackMan technology, and improved course conditions. As with all Vilamoura Golf courses, it upholds strict environmental sustainability standards, ensuring a pristine and eco-friendly experience.
A perfect blend of heritage and innovation, The Old Course Vilamoura remains a must-play for golfers seeking tradition, challenge, and world-class facilities.

From start to finish the experience was amazing, we were greeted in the car park and our clubs were escorted to our buggy. The range with the track man was fantastic. The course was in amazing condition albeit the greens were very quick. Slight complaint would be that our clubs were offered to be cleaned but after a couple of drinks in the bar we went to collect our clubs and they weren’t clean but it didn’t ruin the day in anyway. Would recommend anyone to play.

I've been lucky enough to play this course many times over the past few years but its now been upgraded and its better than ever. From the greeting when your car arrives at reception, to your clubs carried to the buggies, water stations on the course, cold towels when you complete the round, clubhouse, bar, terrace, pro shop and restaurant have all have a face lift. Course investment has seen improved cart paths, lower limbs removed on trees and bunker upgrades. Back to being the best course in Vilamoura - brilliant.

Tee times changed to 12 minute intervals which mostly avoided hold ups. Course in great condition. Service good but not quite as good as when played last year. In conclusion felt it was a little too expensive and would choose alternatives in the future.
