Ombria Golf Course

The 18 hole, Par 71 signature course was designed by Jorge Santana da Silva, who followed a sustainable vision to complement and enhance the natural landscape.

The two 9-hole loops are set in different terrain with the front nine playing out at the foot of sweeping hillside banks, golfers will find the opening holes an easy walk with contoured greens and undulating fairways.

The back nine starts with a breath-taking panorama of the course spread throughout an idyllic river valley. Playing along the twisting rivers and streams, golfers must decide when to cross or when to gamble and when to play safe.

Just fantastic and a real change from other courses. We got stuck behind a 3 ball who just had no idea about letting faster groups through (weird) but after we got passed them just loved it. My hole in one on 17 really was the icing on the cake !

A bit quirky for the first five holes felt like crazy golf . Much better after that although some holes access from buggies to greens was sometimes down a grass bank that needs steps . Wouldn't want to play here again.

Loved this golf course (we played it twice) and loved the warm welcome from the staff. Ten minute tee offs mean that the course is not racked and packed which is essential since the front nine is pretty tricky. Ombria is out of the way and I do wonder how long they can maintain the current standards if revenue is below expectation, however, at the moment, this is a stellar choice.

The front 7 holes are just too quirky and as a result of the design you need a buggy, so for those that like to carry it really does'nt work

there has been a lot of good things said about Ombria before I got there and from the approach roads driving in to the final drinks at the bar this was a special experience. Absolutely mesmerising. The front 9 were outstanding with amazing changes in elevation and stunning looking holes, trouble everywhere, water, trees rocky outcrops however it is very playable as it is relatively short and so if you are straight off the tee you rarely have more than a wedge in on the 6 par 4's, the 6 par 3's are all special in their own way and the 5's a challenge if you play off the back tees which I would recommend for anyone who plays around single figure. Ombria will stay in the memory as a fabulous experience.

A new development. Spectacular course with some amazing elevated tees. Not easy but very enjoyable. Beware club house prices for just about everything. Way too expensive and a complete turn off for returning next year. Also, after a long round, playing through lunch time, we got in to the club house to be told no food: chef had gone home! Totally unacceptable for a course attempting to portray itself as the jewel in the Algarve crown.

What a great course, with two very different 9's which keep it interesting. Magnificently carved in to the ravine the front 9 is a real challenge of accuracy, where as you have a little more room on most of the back 9 (but still not easy!). Greens were are a little scared from traffic, but run true and didn't diminish from the experience. Highly recommend!

Front 9 is very up and down as built in the mountain with average speed greens, but signage to tees not great. ( please don't walk it crazy distance from tee to greens on front 9 ) plus take plenty of balls. Back 9 is flat and greens very quick. It is like 2 different 9 hole courses, completely different lay out and pace of greens.

What can I say about this great wee course. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the service was amazing. Such a nice warm welcome on arrival, the staff were 10/10 and value your custom, you don't just feel like a number. The bar/restaurant area was very nice with a huge balcony area to sit and have a beer with great views over the first few holes. The food was great and there's plenty of big TVs on the wall showing all the sports. The course was amazing tbh, alot of different shots you have to think about and looking out off the tee box you can't help but think how beautiful and well manicured the course was. Giving it's location it was lush and green and just really well looked after, you can tell the place is going to be good and they are aiming high for the future. Would highly recommend any level of golfer to play this course, it will get you thinking about every shot but also the surroundings and condition of the course was amazing. 10/10 would return anyday to play this course again. It felt like a much more premium experience than the Amendoeira resort I'd say it was miles a head of both the Faldo and O'Connor. The way we felt about the Ombria course is what we felt our trip was going to be like but only the Ombria course delivered on that! Book up for this course now!

A new course and in fabulous condition. The layout is a little quirky. A little Piccadilly Circus around holes 3/4/5. Not a long course but very tight. Liked how they have gone away from colour coding the courses and used the distances e.g. 49, 54 etc indicating 4,900 m and 5,400m - Think this might well catch on as more clubs in the UK move to gender neutral tees
