The Victoria Course is part of Dom Pedro's very impressive collection of golf in the Algarve, with a core in Vilamoura. The Arnold Palmer design is purpose-built for tournament quality golf and while the paying public have access 51 weeks in the year, it is during Portugal Masters week that we really see Arnie's layout set up as it is meant to be.
At 7,273 yards, the Victoria is a substantial proposition but the standard of the professional field has resulted in winning scores as low as -25 in the event's recent history. Huge expanses of water dictate the routing of the course, which is dotted with lots of native trees and vegetation. The course and clubhouse are located next to the Tivoli Victoria Resort & Spa on the outskirts of Vilamoura and just a short drive from the marina.

Come May, the summer season is just starting for Portugal's most popular golfing destination. The average temperature for Vilamoura is 22°C with highs of 28°C, definitely warm enough for shorts on the course. If you enjoy heading to the beach and fancy a casual swim, May is definitely the time; with the sea temperature reaching up to an incredible high of 20°C. There is only a 25% chance of rain, so maybe it's best to carry an umbrella just in case.
Dom Pedro Victoria is only a 30 minute drive from Faro International Airport with daily flights to all major UK cities (Flight time: 2 hrs 50 mins). Taxi's are available from Faro and cost around €27 to Vilamoura.
