Key Information
The Old Course feels traditional rather than tricked-up. Fairways are tight and pine-lined, so straight driving matters more than distance, and small greens demand sharp iron play. The terrain rolls more than you’d expect in the Algarve, with enough elevation change that most groups take a buggy – though it’s perfectly walkable if you fancy stretching the legs.
Conditioning is reliably first class: greens roll true, bunkers are well-kept, and pace tends to hold up thanks to wider tee intervals and on-course marshals. It suits low and mid-handicappers best, but mixed-ability groups will get on fine – the front nine eases you in before the back sharpens its teeth. Expect a busy tee sheet and book well ahead.

Why Play at The Old Course Vilamoura?
For many golfers visiting the Algarve, this is the course they build the trip around. The Old Course blends classic parkland design with a setting that feels unmistakably Portuguese, towering pines, warm light, and just enough challenge to keep every round interesting. You’ll find memorable holes throughout, especially the par 3s, which ask for committed swings rather than brute force. The recent clubhouse renovation and upgraded practice facilities give the whole property a polished, modern edge without losing its traditional identity. It’s easy to see why repeat visitors keep coming back year after year.
