Golf Courses at Vale Do Lobo Golf Resort

Royal Golf Course

Vale do Lobo's Royal Course boasts some spectacular holes, not least of which is the cliff-top 16th hole which has effectively become the face of golf in the Algarve, making it a must play when visiting the Vilamoura region.

Although it is a par-3, the green is set some 238 yards away on the opposite side of a series of plunging cliffs and standing on the tee facing the stunning sandstone cliffs, with a gleaming white sandy beach and the Atlantic Ocean to your left is undoubtedly one of the most exhilarating experiences in world golf.

The legendary Sir Henry Cotton's design has been revised by Rocky Roquemore in recent years, and continues to delight visitors year after year thanks to its amazing surroundings and the sweeping elevation changes that define the layout and provide much of the challenge, in addition to of course, the tight fairways that are bordered by mature umbrella pines that are so indicative of golf courses in the Algarve.

Signature Hole – No. 16: Par 3, 234 yards (White Tees)

There is little question that the 16th on the Royal Course at Vale do Lobo is the course’s signature hole and it is arguably the signature golfing experience one can enjoy in the whole of the Algarve. This is a brute of a par 3 which can be played one of two ways. Either take on the forced carry over the cliffs to the large green or, if you don’t have the required firepower, take the long way around, utilising the small patch of fairway to the right. This might be the more sensible option for many but few will be able to resist having a crack at the green on such an iconic hole.

The Vale do Lobo Royal Course is ranked as one of the best golf courses in Portugal

Course Information
Par	72
Designed by	Sir H. Cotton/R. Roquemore
Opened for play	1997
Did you know?	The only two ‘hole in ones’ on par 4’s on the Royal Course were both achieved in 2000: by Mr Geoffrey Widdowson on the 376 yard 4th and by Mr Francesco Vazzana on the 442 yard 17th.

Tees

Ocean Golf Course

The Ocean Course differs greatly to its neighbour; while the cliff-top Royal demands accuracy above all else, the Ocean allows golfers to use their creativity to great effect. Many of the holes run alongside a nature reserve, before the course winds down to the shoreline, where you can enjoy unparalleled views up and down the coast. The Ocean is a combination of two nine hole loops designed by Sir Henry Cotton & Rocky Roquemore who added the newer nine in 2003, and is a gem of a course that will satisfy even the most demanding golfer.

Perhaps seen as the “second” course at Vale do Lobo, the Ocean might not get the praise it deserves as it’s an excellent course in its own right, and a handful of the holes take you as close to the sea as you’re going to get in the Algarve. These holes, which come towards and middle of the round and into the back nine, are the truly memorable holes on the course and the 15th in particular is a stunner, almost rivalling the famous par 3 16th on the Royal for wow factor.

Previously hosted: The Algarve Golf Open (1971), Portuguese Golf Open (1976, 2002, 2003), Open Foursomes Golf tournament (Since 1983), Portuguese Golf Ladies’ Open (1985, 1987).

Course Information
Par	72
Designed by	Sir H. Cotton/R. Roquemore
Opened for play	1968 – Updated in 2003
Did you know?	Football Manager Louis Van Gaal once said of the Ocean Course: ‘I love playing the Ocean Golf Course as I always seem to play better on there! The views are also outstanding and you can feel the sea air wafting around you as you take in the scenery and enjoy the greens.’

Other Information

Vale Do Lobos dress code requires golfers to wear golf shoes with soft spikes as well as collared shirts and golf trousers or tailored shorts.

Tips for visiting Vale Do Lobo Golf Resort

Alex Ross
European Specialist

Handicap: 11
Visited: October

I really would not look anywhere else for a golf trip in the Algarve.

You will struggle to find another venue with 2 Championship golf courses with so many picturesque Golf Holes.

The 16th on the Royal Course is an obvious favourite, just don't miss left! It can get windy there so good to practice your knockdown shots before you play here.

The 19th hole is a great place for a spot of breakfast before the round, plus there's a pool table and TV's to watch the sport.

The Apartments at Vale do Lobo are fantastic and the upgrade to the Superior apartments is well-recommended.

For a cheeky getaway, with 3 rounds of golf included, we were very happy with the accommodation provided and package as a whole for the price. One small issue was we were a couple and the bed was 2 single beds pushed together (kept falling in the crack!). The facilities were great otherwise. Full kitchen, with inside and outside table. Good wifi. The restaurants and bars do the job and if you are with a lads or girls group and are likely all you need. For a romantic meal, we headed inland slightly to Restaurant Florien, which was a great setting for a romantic meal and the food was spectacular (rather than just good/very good). Overall, a great time. Staff friendly and happy to help! Good supermarket on the site also if you want to cook a few meals instead of eating out (or stock up on birdie juice for the back 9).

A great resort that has everything within walking distance or or short resort provided shuttle ride away. Biggest criticism is that the golf provision does not include a full size driving range.

Everything we needed was provided, including a welcome pack of bread, milk, tea, and coffee. Apartment very spacious with big TV and also wifi. Apartment was 15 minute walk from centre, but there was a free taxi service if we wanted it, just pick up phone and it was immediately there.

What a fantastic location, surroundings and place. From start to finish everything was perfect and as a frequent traveller that is rare. The apartment was spotless and a free private shuttle is arranged from the course to your apartment with no hassle. The club house is lovely, food and drinks amazing though slightly pricey but this can be expected due to the location. Service is quick and always with a smile. The club has showers and free towels so you can freshen up between rounds and everything is spotless. My 3 stars on the facilities is only down to them having a driving range that you cannot hit more than a 9 iron (160m long) and it only has 6 bays. There is one bar/restaurant at the club house which is lovely however is quite expensive. We had 3 bacon toasties and 1 posh greek yogurt with 4 drinks and it was 70 euro. however don't let this put you off.In the evening there is a free mini bus service from your apartment. Simply dial 9 and within 5 minutes you are collected and drop anywhere in the resort. The local square has around 6 restaurants to cater for all tastes. An average meal was around 60 euro per person based on 4. There was no nightlife in Vale Do Lobo in March however I have been in August and it's a complete contrast. If you want something more you can head to Vilamoura in a Uber for 12 euro. All in all it was a fantastic trip and look forward to going back. On a final note we had unlimited golf which was well worth it. We played 18 holes in the morning, finishing around 2.00pm, then had some lunch and a few beers and then played a different course around 5pm and managed to get 9 holes in. Getting back out was no problem and free buggies were always available.

My group of 12 have just returned from a weeks trip to Vale do Lobo. I have been organizing these trips for over 20 years and I would say that the YGT offer for Vale do Lobo is the best deal ever! In fact I rang Nick Hall direct to make sure it wasn’t a mistake. The deal consisted 7 nights accommodation in a link detached villa, which was very well equipped.We even had a pool! 7 rounds of golf on the Royal and Ocean courses, including buggies. We also had club rental included for Taylormade M4 clubs! Even our two best players who are 6 and 7 handicaps left their blades at home. For those who have not been to VDL it is a large site but the resort has a minibus pickup from anywhere on site. Normally they are with you in 5 minutes or so. There are a few bars and restaurants open in February but if you want a livelier time you may have to taxi to nearby Quinta do Lago. To top it all we qualified for a Taylormade M4 driver which our group had a draw for.

Found both courses a good challenge.

The officials could have done more to encourage players to do these standard repairs and raking. One of biggest problems is there are very limited practice facilities ( no practice area for woods / driver or for chipping/ bunker play) Also paths between holes were not in great repair.

A mixed bag - the greens were excellent and the course was in good condition but we played on a Friday afternoon and the course was packed, we waited on almost every shot and given there are blind shots on the course experienced balls landing close to us from the game behind. On some holes the buggies from the game behind were waiting behind us on the tee before we were able to tee off. I really dislike golf when its like this and over stacking of the course and the speed of play ruined our round, it was hot and we lost concentration waiting on every shot. NOt good enough given the price of a round. Practice area you can only hit 9 irons. The course has a few lovely holes but also a few where you feel like you are just playing up and down a field. Great sea views and a lovely par 3 next to the beach. Wouldnt play it again.

Like the hotel, service was exemplary. The guys on doing the buggies and clubs were so helpful. Made sure we had everything we needed. Clubs were free for us and were Taylor Made M4's as main choice, shortly being upgraded to M6's. Loved the course, so many different holes especially Par 3 16th. Would love to say I played it well, but I didn't. Hey ho, always next time. Greens were devilishly fast with loads of borrows. Score would have been great if I could have read them better. Couldn't fault the course at all, and managed 3 rounds and a couple of front 9's with unlimited golf on offer.

The Royal course lived up to everything i expected and hoped for. Pristine fairways, mirror like greens, challenging pin positions and well... the 16th hole is something from a golfers dream. We had the joy of playing this using our unlimited golf 4 time in two days and managed to play the 16th as the sun set which was breathtaking. We also found the course less congested and often wouldn't see other players for a few holes. If playing the twilight rounds remember to take bug spray as they are rife in the evening on the watery holes. Would fully recommend the two courses and yourgolftravel.com for sorting an amazing trip from start to finish.

The ocean course was fantastic for the time of year with near perfect fairways and greens. There were a few patchy areas on the fairways but I am sure in a few months these will be spot on. The ocean holes are beautiful and very challenging. We played this course twice over the three days and would certainly play it again. My only negative is you felt that you were constantly rushing as it was quite busy. I lost a lot of balls as I felt I didn't have time to look for them. Apart from this everything else is positive, on course refreshments, you can phone a number on your scorecard and they will bring you drinks and food. Note: Practice your putting as I have never know greens as fast as these and as challenging which made the golf even more enjoyable especially those special moments when you drain a 30ft put.
