The O’Conner course was in decent condition and play was at a better pace. The package says unlimited golf but it’s almost impossible to play more than 18 holes per day as you can only book one tee time in advance and all the tee times are booked when you arrive at the resort. Also the buggies are at additional cost after the 1st round each day which wasn’t expected.

The fairways and greens are in superb condition. The undulating fairways are like a thick quality carpet and the greens and very fast with some tricky borrows. The bunkers are very difficult and below what looks like a beautifully raked surface, the sand is solid, making a proper bunker shot almost impossible. There is very little rough as the course is lined by a number of large lakes and edged by tall reed beds and bullrushes. We lost countless balls that in the UK would have been found. The carries can also be a bit daunting for high handicappers! Altogether though, the course is in superb condition and a joy to play, We palyed two rounds every day we were there.

Give yourself time to take in the views of the orange groves and water features as nature chips-in and adds to the experience- there is also wildlife in abundance to spot and admire. Fair test of golf and for me at least 6 strokes easier than the Faldo due to more accessible greens - although the potential to hide pins is definitely there.

The course was in great condition and playable for all standards of golfers off the tee with wide fairways. The difficulty was it’s length and the greens were well protected by water and bunkers. Most of the approaches were narrow as well. The back nine was generally into a wind which increased the difficulty up another notch. Probably not a course to play if you are a complete beginner. The marshals were friendly but would ask you to pick your ball up and catch up the group in front if you were slow. It didn’t happen to us but some other groups were grumbling about it in the club house. Our four ball rounds took us 4 hours 20mins with waiting on a few holes and the marshals thought we were fast so that gives a guide to the pace of play. The drinks trolley came round twice in the round so we were kept refreshed. A great course and we loved it.

The course is great overall but I was disappointed with the speed of the greens, my course back home in Scotland's greens are much faster and we don't have close to near the weather Portugal has the luxury of. Besides that we had a great time playing this course

Loved this course. Not as challenging or hilly as Faldo. All round better experience with loads of toilet buildings throughout. A few more lakes and water hazards which are visually stunning. Great for every ability.

We played the O'Connor for the first time as we had played the Faldo course previously on 2 occasions, this course did not fail with some spectacular holes, it is a bit easier than the Faldo as its flat and you don't have the massive hills to climb, if you have not played this course then give it a go and if you don't want the buggy which is in with the price then its easy walking.

Good course pace of play was better than the Faldo but may have been due to less players on the course. Start delayed due to no buggies due to first out taking 5 hours plus to get round.

Not played the course for several years and the level of service and course condition has gone down. Very slow pace of play and no starter on 1st. Condition of the course was fairly scruffy compared to previous although the greens were still very good. Would give this a miss in future.
