Darryl Williamson 2025-10-13
Very scenic course with some great holes. Some tees untidy & occasional poor fairway lies but overall a really enjoyable course

Ian Gorham 2025-10-07
Nice course. Good condition. Well organised. Good pace of play. Very tight course, a few holes quality compromised because of rogue pines, would benefit from some tree surgery. Otherwise great.

Excellente

Philip Sheldon 2025-09-30
Loved the course and facilities, disappointed that our group of 6 was split 4 / 2 and by the small tvs in the clubhouse.

Andy Noon 2025-09-28
Great course although not in perfect condition.

Cliff Morgan 2025-09-22
Superb condition as usual and great to see all paving works in progress.

Maurice Rogers 2025-09-22
I have played Pinhal on many occasions over the years and I have to say the course is in the best condition I have ever seen it. Good to see the owners investing in improvements such as new buggy paths and thinning out the trees.

Ray Davis 2025-09-15
The actual course very well maintained and presented, notwithstanding works on a new pathway still in course of completion. Excellent club house facilities and quality food offering.

Amanda Johnson 2025-09-09
Everyone very friendly , lady in pro shop very helpful Work that is going on is very positive on the course. The buggy paths are very good etc

William Wright 2025-08-27
Great time lovely course unfortunately because we were a party of 3 were added a fourth person who had no course etiquette and would not listen to advice .Otherwise great experience in the sun.

Oilean Mulligan 2025-07-19

Brilliant

Jack Mills 2025-06-18
Really nice course. Staff were good but were a bit rude about timings and making sure we were back by 7.50pm with the buggy. Teed off at 4:40pm and finished at 7.50 on the dot. Great course, pure greens.

Richard Kent 2025-06-14
Excellent golf course, very well kept course, greens in great condition. Challenging with over hanging trees. Excellent facilities and would play it again for sure. 

Ian McPherson 2025-06-05

Bent Hessel 2025-06-05
Bogies too expensive!!!

Danny sneddon 2025-06-04
Course was good but out with the course ie cart paths was not so good.

Martin McDonagh 2025-06-04
Tough first 4 holes due to length and tree lined fairways. Lots of trees on rest of course. One or two in fairway! Course in good condition also great practice area

Harald Wirths 2025-05-30
The best course during the week even the pines are very challenging and I had the most Punch shots since ages. A very nice and well mantained course.

Lyne Gélinas 2025-05-22
Beautiful course Green and fairway were ok, but we had a problem with our car. Ways between each hole were difficult

James Page 2025-05-16
Great course, we loved it and will come again

DESJAMES Fabrice 2025-05-12
Entre amis, très beau golf le club house un peu juste mais belle expérience

John Joseph Gaffney 2025-05-09
Loved playing Pinhal. Our first round in Portugal, course in great condition and presented a good challenge. Staff were all top draw, from pro-shop, to lady in cafe and also the Starter

Clive Mabbutt 2025-05-06
Course in great condition … strange the club house closes at 8pm so if slow getting around on Twighlight golf getting a drink or food impossible

Quality

James Cosgrove 2025-04-24
Place was immaculate, staff friendly, course was in great condition and well priced food and drinks

Kjell Baudin 2025-04-19
For the higher prices now for greenfees from Vilamoura Golf they have to deliver quality on all things! The buggieroads at Pinhal is a disaster as always been before. And we don't see any improvements on the course in general so far. But the service in the reception/shop/buggieguys and restaurant is excellent as always! We have played Pinhal many times so we know what we are talking about. The higher prices for greenfees on all former Dom Pedro courses are thinkable! Because you always expect what you pay for. Best regards, Kjell & Heléne Baudin

Jeannot Mailhot 2025-04-12
Très beau terrain les normales trois sont superbes et les prix pour la bière et les sandwiches sont aussi très bon

Lars-Erik Aursand 2025-03-26
Coarse in very good condition this year.

Dennis Meredith 2025-03-25
Once again Pinhal presented in wonderful condition. Also a pleasure to play there and a fair challenge to all levels of golfer.

Søren Rasmussen 2025-03-23
Its ok

Clive Sims 2025-03-18
We thought the course was in good condition considering all the rain recently.

Josef Platner 2025-03-16
Playing Pinhal is much better than for example Laguna. Despite the weather Pinhal is in best shape

John Harte 2025-03-14
Great course in great condition

Kevin Maguire 2025-03-12
Eight in our group played Pinhal on the 5th of March, its been a while since we played it and we were pleasantly surprised how dry the fairways were compaired to Laguna we played the day before. The greens were in good condition

Sean Murtagh 2025-03-10
It felt a little like a municipal coursee

Gerald Nuessel 2025-03-07
Guter Platz, guter Zustand

Neil Coyne 2025-03-05
Great traditional golf course and superb greens

Jaroslav Mraz 2025-03-02
some of the holes are of a poorer quality

Paul Anderson 2025-02-18
Always enjoy Pinhal despite it playing quite long and challenging - and that's from a 7 HC player who's not too short off the tee. The course condition was very good with a great variety of hole layouts. The challenges come from pine trees in the middle of one or two fairways, or jutting out into a few fairways, and then the greens are very small making it difficult to hit them. If you're on holiday, and not worried about playing to your handicap, go enjoy Pinhal with your buddies or other half!

Liam Wall 2025-02-18
great course in good condition

Klaus-Uwe Lucht 2025-02-15
Nice.

David Taylor 2025-02-06
Pretty, but challenging course. Most fairways narrow and lined with umbrella pines. Very nice staff and facilities.

Aidan William Lavender 2025-02-05
Course in great condition in all aspects - greens especially and they were quick. Lovely practice facilities. Pleasant veranda overlooking practice area and course. Great days golf at just under £100 each. ( we didn’t hire buggies - quite a few walks between holes so if you are not up for this then hire them. Pretty flat mainly apart from 2 par 5s uphill).

Klaus Schmidt 2025-01-20
Nice course in very goog condition. The best course of the Pinhal courses we played.

Andy Whelan 2025-01-18
Brilliant service turned up to the course and everything was prepared for us as booked

Tim Browne 2025-01-12
Good course, excellent service, a grand day out

Carole Massicotte 2025-01-07
service at the store, explanation on the phone were clear and informative. We did use the system and everything went very well.

Mark Brewer 2025-01-06
The course was in excellent condition. All the staff were professional, very helpful and accommodating. A great round of golf for all 8 of us.

Marc Goumans 2024-11-15
course was good, driving range and putting/chipping fine. restaurant OK

Arve Bekkevar 2024-11-12
Very good

Martin Punch 2024-11-04
Good Course... Only Issue are the trees... If your ball lands on top chances are you will not see it again... Dom Pedro are Increasing rates for Golf again at Vilamoura. 264€ in 2025 for Old Course excluding buggy. !!!! Regular Vilamoura Golfers are looking elsewhere (Spain) which was clearly visible in Vilamoura during October .

Christopher Halbard 2024-10-21
Nice course BUT short and tee boxes in bad condition

Charles Valade 2024-10-19
Played here several times before so we knew what to expect. Course was in good shape. Positioning of umbrella trees can be tough.

Andrew Thorpe 2024-10-13
Good holiday course

Dave Sheehan 2024-10-11
Very challenging, but enjoyable course. Very friendly staff.

GERARD CAULFIELD 2024-10-04
Terrible beer

Tracy Elbro 2024-09-27
No Marshalls on course, over 5 hour round and no-one doing anything about it

Maurice Rogers 2024-09-24
Not in the best of condition, they have obviously struggled with the dry summer conditions and the course is yet to fully recover.

Robert Ryan 2024-09-09
Feel good factor. Course was difficult and pace of play very fast

Cormac O'Conaire 2024-08-06
course was not good.

Geir Tore Jakobsen 2024-06-18
Rock hard greens. Ok course in the hole.

Martin Punch 2024-06-17
Good golf course played many times... Buggies now at 60€ , Unfortunately we had 2 so called golfers in front of us in a group of 4 who took 3 shots to reach the fairway and looked as if they had a few. We were delayed on every hole with these clowns who many times nearly drove the buggy on the green. Added to this they were forgetting clubs all round the course. It took us 5 hours to play and the course marshal just drove around passing the time away. They need to get their act together...Golf is not cheap in Portugal and at 10€ per hole (Including Buggy) it should be enjoyable, The Starter was very pleasant but should have questioned these guys ability to play.

Roy Parker 2024-05-13
Poorly maintained tee boxes look rough fairways full of divint holes greens good

Cathal McElarney 2024-05-07
Too many trees in unfair positions down fairways

Jerry Kunkler 2024-05-01
Course was not in great condition But we all enjoyed the course and facilities

Mike Smith 2024-04-29
Played Pinhal many times. Course was in very good condition Very busy 4 hrs 50 mins for a round though

Lois Cormack 2024-04-07
It was a 5 hour very expensive round way over priced Terrible pace of play Would not recommend I tried to cancel 1 week prior and they said it was too late to cancel Bad customer service

Martin Punch 2024-03-30
Nice course in good condition, friendly staff, only issue is pace of play, maybe starter should mention this to players and also how long you should take searching for your ball

Stephen Mooney 2024-03-14
enjoyed the golf course

Graham Lucas 2024-03-10
Fine

Ki Cheng 2024-03-08
Unhelpful staff. Unwilling to offer to take golf bags just across the street to Hilton - in the rain. Fairways and greens are ok but outside of these are rough patches and bare spots.

Peter Jeffery 2024-02-20
as always we had a great last day, course was good and staff very helpful, the only down side was that we didn't complete our round, as there was a really slow group a few tee times in front of us and a 5 hour did not suit our time scale as we had a flight to catch, so I would book an earlier tee time if we had a late flight again, just one of those things.

Biolley Gilbert 2024-02-18
We had a komplex Order. Price was wirst wrong, I was able to clarefy, finally all was perfekt.

Warrick Dawson 2024-02-07
Course in reasonable condition (greens good) but waited on every shot. Staff friendly and welcoming.

Tony McMahon 2024-01-27
Course ok could do better

Michael Reed 2024-01-10
Too many trees ????????

Kristiane Peuten 2024-01-07
