Portugal golf holidays - Vila Sol Golf Course

Vila Sol Golf Course Vilamoura, Algarve

Vila Sol has genuine championship pedigree. Donald Steel designed the original two loops in 1991, and within two years the course had hosted the Portuguese Open twice, first won by Ronan Rafferty, then David Gilford. A third loop, the Prestige, was added in 2000, and since 2004 the course has hosted the annual Sir Bobby Robson Celebrity Golf Classic, drawing footballing names back to Vilamoura year after year.
The course winds through a genuine pine forest rather than a landscaped approximation of one, and Steel built it without reshaping the land more than it needed. That restraint shows: narrow, tree-lined fairways demand accuracy over power from the very first hole, and the opening stretch is widely considered the toughest test on the course. The par-3 7th on the Prime loop is the hole most golfers remember, a downhill tee shot played back over water to a green that punishes anything over-clubbed. With three distinct nines to mix and match, no two visits play quite the same, and the variety keeps regulars coming back to find a new favourite combination.
Facilities include a full driving range, a resident academy, and a clubhouse restaurant with views over the 18th. Vila Sol sits at the heart of Vilamoura, making it an easy addition to a wider trip. For golfers who want proven championship pedigree without leaving the resort, this is one of the region's genuine originals. (...)

Portugal golf holidays - Vilamoura Old Course Golf Course

Vilamoura Old Course Golf Course Vilamoura, Algarve

The Old Course is Frank Pennink's original design for Vilamoura, laid out in 1969 as one of the first courses built in the resort. Martin Hawtree remodelled it in 1996, keeping Pennink's routing intact while bringing the course up to modern standards. Set in the heart of Vilamoura, twenty minutes from Faro airport, it's known across the Algarve as the Grande Dame of the region's golf courses, and hosted the Portuguese Open in 1979.
It's pure parkland golf, routed through mature umbrella pines that do most of the defending. Fairways roll gently, with a few steeper slopes, and doglegs come mainly on the back nine. Water only enters the equation once, on the 4th, the course's signature hole: a par-3 that asks for a precise tee shot up and over a large pine, to a green guarded by water on the far side. The buggy here is optional rather than essential.
The clubhouse has been rebuilt in recent years, with a British-style restaurant and snack bar, and the driving range now runs on TrackMan technology, with an on-site academy staffed by resident professionals. Locker rooms and a pro shop round things out. Book a round at one of Vilamoura's original courses, and one of the Algarve's most storied. (...)

Portugal golf holidays - Ombria Golf Course

Ombria Golf Course Loulé, Algarve

Ombria sits in the hills north of Loulé, around thirty minutes from Faro airport, on the site of a former fruit farm. Opened in 2023, it's an 18-hole, par-71 course designed by the Portuguese architect Jorge Santana da Silva, who built it around the property's old water channels, lime kilns and stone walls rather than clearing them away. The course holds GEO Foundation certification, reflecting the scale of the environmental restoration behind it, including replanted native oak woodland and rehabilitated riverside habitat.
The two nines play very differently. The front nine climbs through the valley with real elevation change, elevated tees and a run of holes that demand precise course management from the first shot. The back nine settles into gentler, more open parkland, giving the round a distinct rhythm rather than eighteen holes cut from the same cloth. It's a buggy-only course, which suits the terrain well.
Since opening, Ombria has matured into one of the best-conditioned courses in the Algarve, regularly drawing comparisons to the region's longer-established names. The clubhouse is built into the old farm ruins, with a restaurant, bar, pro shop and locker rooms, plus access to the wider Viceroy at Ombria resort, including its pools and spa. There's no driving range on site yet, so warm up on the practice green before you tee off. For golfers who've played the Algarve's coastal courses and want something different inland, Ombria is well worth the detour. (...)
