Balaia Golf Course
Balaia Golf Course is a true test of any golf course measured by requiring a player’s ability to control shot length and direction. This 9-hole par-3 course optimises these demands. The ability to hit crisp approach shots and to pitch and putt well are the secrets of good scoring on this very attractive and manicured course. Both the Golf Course and the Driving-range are open to golfers of all ages. Opening times in the winter season are from 8 am to 6pm. During the rest of the year, the course is open from 7.30 am to 8 pm. On Wednesdays there is an 18 Hole Friendly Competition open to all golfers.

Good fun, will be better when the bar reopens for refreshments but a nice little practice course.

Much has to be done about the maintenance

Sadly this is the worst course we've played in Portugal. No more than a pitch n put 9-hole course in OK condition but holes too close to one another making it dangerous, especially with so many novice players on the course. Pace of play painfully slow.

I liked the layout of the course, greens were good but it is a par 3 course so always going to be slightly compromised

Facilities very old/poor - quite expensive as well.

Lovely little small course but unfortunately it gets a little bit too busy when stag nights turn up and they’re doing five balls could do with a Marshall speeding up play

We've stayed at Balaia 7 or 8 times previously and like to use the practice facilities, plus the course is a good test or iron/wedge skills, however this time we found the driving range was almost unusable, partially closed and the rest had no grass, the range balls were disgusting, absolutely filthy and ancient, the greens were in awful condition, everything really looked like it was going down hill. Also the etiquette of some of the guests was dreadful. Additionally the service at the club house was awful, one day we actually walked away after having waited over quarter of an hour to be served, with no other clients in there.
