Alamos Golf Course

Mrs Michelle Weigh2019-05-06
Great course, BEAUTIFUL surroundings, nice friendly staff, overall a great day.

Malcolm Keers2019-03-15
Excellent course, not the longest but a course you have to think your way around. Would definitely play again

John Harding2019-02-06
Good service at reception and the bar with very friendly and helpful staff. Very friendly and polite course staff especially the Caddy Master and the Course starter. Unfortunately the tee boxes were not in a very good condition, very uneven with too much sand spread all over. Although the fairways were very dry in places, they played really well. The greens were excellent , true and very quick and were obviously well looked after..

Leonard Jones2019-01-10
Great golf course with plenty of variation between the holes. Greens can be tricky but thats the game. Great views on the 6th. Staff very helpful- particular the starter who gave some useful tips on the course before play. Len Jones Australia

Daphne Ledger2018-11-24
Great course enjoyed it will lay again but shame they gave us the wrong score card!!

Wolfgang Simonmeyer2018-10-29
All was perfect.Thank you!

Andrea Millar2018-09-20
Very Friendly Staff excellent facilities.. Great Course.

Michael Mitchell2018-09-16
Alamos was a very enjoyable golf course , very playable we would definitely return, The staff were helpful and courteous at all times.

Andy Ford2018-09-04
Have played Alamos many times in previous years and this year was the best condition I have seen it. Very enjoyable

Clive Oliphant2018-08-15
The greens were superb and the course quiet and well maintained. Staff excellent. We teed off 30 minutes early. Patches of very course grass close to greens was only negative.

Philip Sharpe2018-05-17
Really enjoy Alamos, greens very quick and in good nick. Staff very friendly at Morgado & Alamos

Nigel Mapletoft2017-06-23
A lovely course, especially for high handicapped players such as myself. Hole 19 has an excellent choice of snacks and main meals too.

Andrew Slavin2016-09-19
Was supposed to be playing Morgado, but received notification in advance that would be changing to Alamos due to ongoing maintenance - arrived at course to be told that was back playing Morgado - no issues, all sorted efficiently and my party had a great day - course in great condition and greens were superb. One point of note - the course ranger coming out to players with ice cold towels was one of those simple things that makes the experience just that little bit different and makes it stand it from others many thanks for a great day

Harry Korver2019-09-10
Friendly staff, course in a so-so condition compensated by a free drink (not enough) lay out is interesting but an already short course was shortened further through tee positions. Pace of play was slow..

Olaf Jonokat2019-09-10
Sehr schöner Kurs der zu unserem Aufenthaltszeitraum vielleicht etwas von der Pflege vernachlässigt wurde da auf dem Morgado Kurs alles für die Portugal Open vorbereitet wurde. War aber alles gut spielst und völlig ok. Nettes Personal und tolles Clubhaus. Das Preisleistungsverhältnis war herausragend. Gerne wieder.

Andrew Ford 2019-09-09
Despite the extremely dry conditions and the Morgado course being shut for the Portuguese Open, the Alamos course played very well and all the staff that we encountered were extremely pleasant and helpful. Well done the Nau group.

david brooks2019-09-07
Very nice course really helpful staff. An all round good experience

Guy Sambrook2019-09-07
Nice course, tees were poor and greens were very slow and needed to be cut

Michael van der Kraan2019-09-05
Friendly staff and a great course even though there were some dry fairways

Irene Lee Donohoe2019-09-04
Difficult starting hole. Very picturesque and a tight back nine. Some of the pin positions were quite tricky.

Sean Donohoe2019-09-04
Greens were very average.

Stephen Oliver2019-07-05
Course in reasonable condition for time of year. Narrow fairways and undulating terrain make it an interesting challenge

John Rowcroft2019-06-18
Alamos very good. Most greens acceptable. All enjoyed it

David stubbings2019-06-18
Play very slow due to members competition added one and a half hours to game. Greens very slow don't think they were cut that day. Should have been offered to play morgado as it seemed very quiet.

Paul Hassall2019-05-18
Very good course , great company and well organised.

John Gilchrist2019-05-18
Interesting course with some quirky holes in generally good condition. I enjoyed the day and the company.

Trish Macbeth2019-05-18
A really enjoyable course with plenty of challenges especially in the wind!!

Simon Platts2019-05-06
Course was too busy. Had to wait to take every shot.

Richard Lewin2019-05-04
Nice course but a lot of repairs going on. Service was good though on and off the course

Julian Pallister2019-05-01
COURSE IN GOOD CONDITION QUITE A SLOW ROUND BUT OK

Desiree van der Jagt2019-04-20
Nice course. Bit windt, difficult greens.

Elizabeth Tolster2019-04-07
Organisation was good, course especially greens in good condition, interesting layout

Mark Dowling2019-04-02
Good course, well designed, nice layout

Robert Wilson2019-03-14
Very enjoyable round. Greens were good however tees and fairways a bit scruffy.

David Bowles2019-03-06
Good allround golf course playable for all golf abilities. As is the norm for this golf society. Competitive but with friendly atmosphere.

Henk van derlit2019-02-26
Course was in good condition, however 5 hours for a round of golf is not ejoyable. No efficiënt caddy master to speed up extremely slow flights. It was cold and windy and therefore 5 hours was far to much. Regards. Henk van der Lit

Whittal Williams2019-02-10
Very enjoyable day on an excellent course.

David McKee2019-02-10
A very good course, with difficult greens. A course planner would have been helpful.

Jaap Schaap2019-02-10
Excellent course, very well maintained and a pleasure to play.

Robert Lentell2019-02-03
Enjoyable round, group in front a bit slow.

William Stoker 2019-02-03
Not a bad course with some challenging holes, the experience spoilt by the fact that the bunkers hadn't been raked for days, my opinion is that priority is given to its sister course Morgado

Roland Nilsson2019-02-01
Nice and challengin course with good greens

Henrik Andersen2019-01-30
For the time of year in good conditioner, though a bit patzy. Bunkers as usual great textured, but some with to little sand - down to 0,5 cm.

Lawrence Hughes2019-01-28
Because of the competition on Morgado the Alamos course was absolutely full, there was no organisation either to put twos into fours and no marshals to keep play moving. A very poor experience extremely slow and we gave up after 10 holes as did other players.

Sandra Muit2019-01-26
Course is very beautiful, going through the a nice landscape. The maintenance of the course is very good. We have had a great day playing golf.

Odete Silvério2019-01-11
Alamos in relatively good condition - however, compared to other golf courses in the same area rather expensive for this time of the year

Kenneth Barnes2019-01-10
Enjoyed the course, the pace of play and the company, would like a return game there..KB

Christiane Jacobsen2018-12-24
The course is nice, but the shape was not so good. The fairways are too muddy sometimes and not so well prepared. The cart paths are in a bad condition. Could be better.

Jackie Robinson2018-12-09
Excellent game of golf

gunder johansson2018-11-24
Interesting and good variation on different holes

Glyn Hughes2018-11-21
This is a wilder golfing experience than Morgado, but has its own charm.

Neil Southwell2018-11-04
Course in need of tlc Club house and food good

Henk Van Derlit2018-11-04
Nice weather, nice people to play with, nice course, good service from Teetimes. Regards. Henk van der Lit

Günter Burkard2018-11-02
Everything okay

Gary Bell2018-11-02
Excellent challenge for all players!

Van der Lit2018-10-25
We had a very enjoyabke day at Álamos today. Only remark for pur site is that the greens at Alamos were better last Year as far as we remember. Henk van der Lit

Heather Ward2018-10-25
Another great day with beautiful weather, an early start which was great as we were able to play at a great pace and complete our round under four hours. Great company in the club house afterwards, thank you again

Fergus Armstrong2018-10-22
Not having a buggy made the experience less favourable

Eamonn Ryan2018-10-20
Nice course. Very enjoyable.

Bill Robertson2018-10-15
Very good..friendly and course always in good condition

Sean O' Mahony2018-10-15
Course was great, value good but the pace of play was too slow. In addition there were no trolleys available initially which would have likely precluded us from playing.

philip a lander2018-10-11
Good golf course I would like to think it would suit all standards of golf

John McKie2018-10-09
Fantastic course. Much better grass then Salgados

John Haughey2018-10-05
We had a very enjoyable day. The course was ideal for our holiday golf needs. Not penal but still a good test. In excellent condition. One of our players was unable to get an electric trolly. That was our only quibble but it didn't detract from a excellent experience.

Mark Hughes2018-10-04
Nice course, paired with another couple to play round ( first time this has ever happened)

Patrick Bradley2018-09-27
very good course, greens a little bit slow but all in all a great experience

Paul Selway2018-09-26
Nice course greens in really good condition

John Slaven2018-09-24
Very well run course and clubhouse This course has become a regular on our yearly visit.

Ian Mell2018-09-24
We actually did not play the Morgado course as we were advised that it was extremely busy. Instead they asked us if we would like to play the Alamos course. I had played this course some years ago and was not really impressed with it then but decided to try it again. I'm glad I did as it had improved dramatically. Would recommend the course to anybody.

Julie Fisk2018-09-12
Love Alamos golf course, but disappointed to find play was very slow. However, the ranger soon realised the group in front of us had lost several holes and very quickly sorted out the problem. Felt that the starter could have mentioned at the beginning that the second toilet block was out of action, as we were relying on it and didn't take advantage of the first toilet block! Would have helped. Course is still as interesting as ever, always enjoyable, but enjoyment reduced by slow play.

john hegarty2018-09-12
Very different experience to many other courses. This is more akin to a links course given its hard open fairways. Difficult to find. Security barrier at entrance. No signs for golf course lef to confusion on our part. Loved the views of the Portuguese countryside.

carol Born2018-09-01

Michael Carlsen2018-08-19
Rigtig dejlig bane hvor der skal tænkes golf og ikke bare slå langt, men desværre er banen ikke grøn alle steder????????

john vaygelt2018-08-08
Greens cut long and so so slow saw 1 golfer chip on green as he was so far from the hole course generally in good nick although ball cleaners mostly dry small detail but annoying course too short for us golfers playing off 17 handicap

DARREN TURNER2018-07-23
Great driving range Really lovely course it’s like an in land links with the undulation and features first time I’ve played it definitely play it again.good test for all standards, greens are slow but true.a buggy is a must

Henrik Kaastrup2018-07-18
Very frienfly staff. Course in good condition and a nice round of golf. Surroundings are a little sad with unfinished buildings in the hills close to the course.

Michael Long 2018-07-12
Course in good condition. Very short course. Bunkers need more sand but overall a grand course.

Hans Ekmann2018-07-08
Ok

rick stainton2018-07-05
Staff friendly and helpful ,course generally in good nick, luckily the starter got us off before a large group else we would still be out there now!!,it took us 3.5 hours. Greens sanded and very slow but were told by staff that Morgado was much better,we were playing there two days later,VERY disappointed when we turned up to be told it was shut for a month without prior warning.

Neil Wilson2018-07-02
Excellent course great fun to play. Friendly welcome and club house setting.

Stephen Curley2018-06-28
Great facilities. Course was fairly short in length

pat wallace2018-06-26
First time played a bit rough on areas recently been under maintainence still in recovery but we were aware before playing. Potentially a good course some interesting and difficult holes.

James John Galbraith2018-06-11
All went well

Liz Scully2018-05-30
Good course.

Peter Roberts2018-05-29
We enjoyed our day at Alamos, everything went well, clubs were in good condition and booking in and service from staff was good.

Paul Mylet2018-05-28
Very new and quite bare, maybe play again but not in near future

Alan Miller2018-05-28
Still young and had a water problem which meant some bunker puddles, will be good when matured

Tim Briggs2018-05-14
Challenging course with tricky greens .Was in very good condition .Would definitely play again

Jesper Schou2018-05-14
The course is too short to be considered a proper golf course. On the positive side the greens are very well kept.

Fieke2018-05-03
Nice golf course in the mountain area. Many buildings which need to be finished, which did not look appealing. Course was ok, fairways were a little bit sloped, which gave for a single handicapper a little bit of difficulty, but course was very easy to play. Early in the morning start (7:30) so course was empty. Greens were not difficult at all. Service in the restaurant was ok.

Gilles Blier2018-05-01
The greens were great. Lack of maintenance on the fairways and roughs.

Michael Blamire2018-05-01
Disappointed to be put out as a 2 ball amongst 4 balls, waited on every hole took 5 hours to play!

Ian Cogger2018-04-30
Fine course. Good facilities except ladies loos especially around door handles need a good clean. “sticky” yuk

Sean Desmond2018-04-30
Excellent golf course. Very enjoyable game here as usual. will return

David Bowles2018-04-29
Always an interesting challenge. Dispite some iffy weather not enough to dampen the fun though. A good venue for a sociable afternoon with good company in a relaxed competitive mood.

Richard Lewin2018-04-27
Beautiful setting for a golf course. Course in good condition and it was a very fair course. Slow going with a five hour round. It didn't really matter to us but it might to others.

Mike Duffus2018-04-27
No problems, good service

Palmer2018-04-25
Nice course and greens in good condition. Our problem was the ignorant and very slow hackers in front who held us up abysmally.

John newman2018-04-21
Quite open course needs to mature a bit nice holes

Arnoul2018-04-19
Super parcours, tres strategique et tres franc, le driver n est pas obligatoire. Les greens sont infernaux!! Super

Maren Liehr2018-04-18
Olá, estava muito bem. Todos! Muito obrigada. Maren Liehr

Paul Sorensen2018-04-17
We were allowed to go off early and the play moved really swiftly. Lovely course. Best of the three perhaps.

Karin Schirocki2018-03-16
lange Wege zwischen den Löchern, sehr hügelig, wenig Mülleimer

Bo Sundberg2018-03-15
Had the first two tee times for the day. Great to have a whole course for your self! More or less all holes are in it's own "room".

Jochem Schmitz2018-03-05
Because oft the weather conditions we player. Only 9 holes the course was in gold shäpe we come back.

Annika Lithén2018-03-02
Alamos was a nice golfcourse. I liked it more than morgados. We just had bad luck with the weather. I hope to come and play here again in better weather conditions.

Lawrence Hughes2018-03-01
Very good , the course has a nice mix challenges. Only mild surprise is that it is the only place I played in Algarve where they require a €20 deposit on the buggy.

H. van der Lit2018-02-24
We had a very pleasant afternoon on a not to busy course,which is in good condition considering the dry weather in the Algarve. Tee Times performed asual punctually. Regards. Henk van der Lit

Steven Parfitt2018-02-14
Nice and good condition course, carts were extremely expensive.

RUI SOUSA2018-02-13
a good one

Robert Lentell2018-02-08
PGA had competition on this course we teed off 45 minutes and the round took 5hrs and only just finished before dusk - I feel the course should not have made general bookings knowing PGA were there for Wednesday 7th and Thursday 8th.

George Rutherford2018-02-07
satisfied with course and price

Leo Deng2018-02-04
it was fun and had a great time. everybody was super nice and made the round very enjoyable.

tony Laframboise2018-01-27
Great course with tricky greens. Windy day today made the course even harder. Beautiful countryside views.

Barry Summerfield2018-01-24
The course was in good condition with tricky greens. It was a long walk from the lb house to the 1st tee and an even longer walk from the 18th back to the club house. In total we covered 6.5 miles for a course which was barely 3 miles tee to green although we got around in 4.5 hours which wasn't too bad.

Martin Elsender2018-01-24
A very good course. Well maintained with lots of different hole styles. Not very long but very enjoyable.

Claudio Minghelli2018-01-16
Campo divertente. Ho giocato da tee bianchi, non è lungo quindi da tee a green non ci sono problemi,.i green sono molto belli mossi veloci con un sacco di pendenze.

John Slaven2018-01-05
A hidden gem in the algarve

Phil Sharpe2018-01-02
Course in really good condition today and a great time of year to play with no hold ups at all. Reception staff very helpful as always.

Les Jay2017-12-29
Course in great condition, friendly staff. An excellent afternoon spent in the warm December staff. Thank you to Teetimes for arranging our round.

Eric Segers2017-12-21
nice course good greens rewards short game

Norbert van der Plas2017-12-20
Open, quiet course. Great golfing experience.

Martin Georg Hilke2017-12-14
Lovely landscape, Broad Fairways, friendly atmospere, kitchen could be better

Trevor Clark2017-12-10
Beautiful golf course in a lovely area - well kept and challenging. Facilities good and customer service throughout was fine. Really great day

Mats Hillblom2017-11-22
Nice generous layout with greens in very good condition

Matti Piirainen2017-11-22
It was too much dirties outside fairways, why I think it was my last visit to Alamos, sorry to say.

Chris Bootles2017-11-06
Very slow round of golf. 5 hour round.

Doug Smith2017-11-04
Really enjoyed Alamos today. The course was in good shape and the greens were in excallent condition.

Odette Isler2017-11-02
it's always a pleasure to play this course

Odette Isler2017-10-26
Very friendly - course in good condition

Pritpal Padam2017-10-25
Excellent - Will be back to play again

Graham Holden2017-10-23
Excellent golf course, some areas damaged and under repair, excellent club house and facilities

Michael Hardman2017-10-21
Good course with interesting holes

trevor edwards2017-10-21
this course was our fourth time playing, the greens were excellent as in the past, considering how dry the summer has been, the whole aspect was very good. i recommend highly

Liam Kearney2017-10-16
We enjoyed Alamos very much but we're very disappointed that no buggies were available. As our group age is 60 to 70 some would have required buggies..

Peter Streets2017-10-05
Best course of the two

Liz Scully2017-09-23
Terrific course in good condition. Staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Hans Jørgen Ekmann2017-09-23
A very good idea to have buggies including an ice-bucket

Lee Stinson2017-09-22
Excellent

Alan Cooper2017-07-14
Very good

Peter Bamforth2017-06-17
Very good

Doug Smith2017-05-27
A course truly in the country, with fantastic views over the Monchique foothills. Not a long course but needs careful negotiation and club selection. The main defense are the greens with lots of undulations. Good putting will get you a score.

Neil Meffin2017-05-11
great course and facilities

Bill Robertson2017-05-11
Too busy but this was because Morgado was closed in advance of the Portuguese open.

Steven Puntin2017-05-03
nice course only problem was slow play

Graham Lucas2017-03-31
Lovely open countryside course, with a good sensible buggy policy after bad weather.

Michael Barker2017-03-20
Lovely views and setting and variety of the holes. Long walks between some holes, means rounds take almost 5 hours

Christine Hopkins 2017-03-17
Course in good condition

Jackie Robinson2017-03-12
Not in great shape but still as enjoyable as ever

Axel Heuser2017-03-08
the frontnine is very strenuous becaue the course is quite hilly. The fairways are narrow. Not very recommendable

Bep Van Der Pas2017-03-05
First few holes are awful, certainly when there is a strong wind. Second nine holes are more pleasant.

Eduard Reinhart2017-03-05
Fantastisches Layout und Topqualität

Päivi Melkko 2017-02-25
Very nice and peaceful, beautiful

Peter Mcshane2017-02-17
Apart from a little congestion at the first tee we enjoyed playing Alamos

Paul2017-02-05
Really liked this course, great scenery and some great holes, slightly dissapointing greens, had not been cut and were a bit wolley

Doug Smith2017-02-01
Just a little disappointing today. The recent wet weather meant that the greens had not bee cut. Hence they were wooly and very slow. Putting was difficult. However the winning score was 38 pts so it did suit some! Always nice to play Alamos as it needs good course management. Good reception at the clubhouse pro shop and very friendly.

richard davies2016-12-23
Lovely course, well set out, back 9 holes a challenge. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Glyn Hughes2016-12-03
Only negative point, perhaps, was the unexpected long walk to the first tee from the clubhouse. This information wasn't very clear.

Bep Van Der Pas2016-11-20
Alamos has really improved on what it used to be. It looks quite a nice course now.

Libor Stehno2016-11-10
Nice and friendly course , but farways is not good on all holes.

Oliver White2016-10-24
COURSE WAS FAIR BUT RESTURANT STAFF NOT FRIENDLY

Bill Robertson2016-10-20
Always a pleasure to return

Derek Thomas2016-10-14
Played a few times before Never seen it so busy 5hr round Good course

John Slaven2016-10-13
First class

Bep Van Der Pas2016-10-13
The tournament was cancelled, however since we were there we played. Only 9 holes though as it started to rain rather heavily, which left the course soaking wet, big puddles in bunkers and puddles on the green. The buggy paths are abominabel, large pottholes which obviously are full of water after it rained. Having said that both Morgado and Alamos are one of the very few courses in the Algarve with still reasonable green fees.

Peter Kenyon2016-10-12
Alamos was in good condition and it was great to see investment in the courses for the future developments.

Kelvin Lawton2016-10-09
Excellent. Lovely course, quiet course.

gerard kelly2016-10-05
Bar- catering staff outstanding. Course in better shape and more interesting than Morgado. Staff in pro-shop check in seem depressed!

Andrew Ford2016-09-23
beautiful rural setting. not an easy course as there is hardly a flat lie.

Cheryl Myles2016-09-17
Really enjoyed the course, such a shame we could not have played the sister course, maybe next time. The nice touch of having a bottle of water and cold towels during the round was very nice too. Staff were delightful. But trying to find this if you are resident in Alvor it is difficult to find. we suggested to the club that they put the GPS onto the website. we had to ask for directions because we could not find it on the car GPS.

Malcolm MacDonald2016-09-16
Course was in excellent condition just wish they had cut the greens as they were painfully slow

Julia Bell2016-08-13
A wonderful place and the staff are outstanding

Celio Carreto2016-07-06
Not to difficult. A little dry. Good price value.

Bruce Tillcock2016-06-27
This is a nice course, however the roads around the course could do with a bit of an upgrade.

Nigel Mapletoft2016-06-16
Lovely course and a true challenge for all grades of player.

Elisabeth Patek2016-06-06
Great course but very exhausting without car! Excellent scenery! Great greens and fairways. Golf from its best!

Dave Thompson2016-05-16
Course in good condition. Greens poor

Malcolm MacDonald2016-05-10
Course was in a very good condition but it took over 5 hours to play as the course was packed out.

Leslie White2016-05-08
They were unable to give us a buggy as they never had enough, & it turned out to be very tiring walking up & down hills.

ADRIAN FRASER JONES2016-05-03
really good value

michael lysaght2016-04-28
Just like to say thank you everything went like clock work and I would recommend your site to anyone who wish to go on a golf holiday

Graham hayward2016-02-16
Should inform customers of major works on the course, greens where not the best due to winter treatments. Value for money excellent.

Robert Lentell2016-02-14
Very friendly and relaxed atmosphere, would have to been told greens just dressed and very slow

Mike Sanders2016-02-07
The greens were dreadful. Recently hollow tined and heavily sanded.

Axel Heuser2016-01-31
Wegen der Platzpflege haben wir Alamos nicht gespielt.

Nuttall2015-12-10
Alamos was a challenging as ever, reception was efficient and all staff friendly and helpful.

John Haughey2015-12-07
As above, first class. A very enjoyable course to play on a golfing holiday.

Roger Daniels2015-12-04
Very good course with huge acreage giving a spacious feeling. Best of the 3 courses by far

Matti Piirainen2015-11-29
Very nice course.

Bill Robertson2015-11-16
Have enjoyed this since it opened.

Peter Kenyon2015-11-06
Good course for less formal surroundings

Caroline012015-10-27
The course was fine.. Was ok for us, but would not be suitable for 'good' golfers - Quite an easy course so this suited us

Michael Hardman2015-10-27
Course in excellent condition

Mrs Emma Valle2015-10-25
Alamos is a cracking course. Conditions were superb, although greens were a bit difficult (undulating!!!) Layout and paths seem to make a bit more sense than the Morgado, however both were great.

Peter Webber2015-10-24
The Alamos provided more interesting and variety of holes which generally tests your course management.

Julian Pallister2015-10-21
RATHER SLOW AT TIMES

Peter Rzeskiewicz2015-10-19
The second buggy I needed was not booked and there were none available when I arrived. It should have been ordered at the same time as the one with the package.

Derek Thomas2015-10-19
Very good

Ron McLachlan2014-01-13
Álamos Golf Course is a beautiful par 71 course, located with its sister course Morgado in its own vast area of rolling hilly countryside and fertile farmland, between Portimão and the lovely mountain town of Monchique. It is definitely one of the most enjoyable golf courses in the Algarve with several stunning views over the surrounding landscape . The course provides a very pleasant game of golf. It offers wide, hilly greens, with a variety of sometimes very open and sometimes tight fairways to test driving ability! It is surrounded by a forest filled with the local flora, orchids and even a vineyard! For naturalists there is a feast of birdlife to look out for and you may even find traces of one of the region's most famous inhabitants, the wild boar. As ever, the society had a mixture of regular visitors and new faces who all professed to having had an enjoyable game. This was reflected in the scoring which was generally good. Nearest the Pin at the very pleasant short 9th Hole was Ian Humphries (12), who also finished in 2nd place in the Men’s competition with 36 Points ahead of a number of players on 33 points. The winner though, was Tracey McCall (8) with 37 Points on the day. Best Lady was Pam Williams (26) with 31 Points. With Del’s kitchen closed as Joao has a short holiday, we returned to Chez Carlos where Felipe again provided nibbles enjoyed by all with an accompanying drink – or 2, or 3..... Next week, Millennium,golf course. Ron McLachlan 13th January 2014

Alamos Golf Course : Chez Carlos Golf Society Competion 17 players tee'd off on another sunny but chilly Algarve day. Alamos golf course was in pretty good condition with the greens running true and this was reflected in the scores. Scores were as low as 24 and as high as 41 and the four players who struggled to make the 30 points mark were rewarded with an extra shot on their handicaps, these were Jeff Williams, Colette Bourke, Tony McInerney and Chris Milford. At the top end Alan Wesson had another amazing golf round shooting 3 under on the back 9 with 3 birdies and 6 pars - well done Alan who has racked up 3 wins in a row and will now be playing off 5.

It was November the last time we played Alamos so a return back was long overdue. After very changeable weather over the last few weeks it appears to have settled down to the conditions that we would normally expect of May even though a strong wind picked up on the day. It was a Sunday game this time as the FA Cup in England took precedent on the Saturday. It didn't detract from a band of ten golfers assembling to take on this picturesque and peaceful course at the foothills of the Monchique mountains. Fairways were excellent and even though the greens had been spiked in the week they ran extremely well. It has been awhile since the 'girls' took over the top spots so congratulations. It was Jet's first time at Alamos 'I loved the course and will be back'. The Society is planning to return this Summer with a trip up into the mountains for a piri -piri lunch afterwards. Watch out for the invitation!

Scheduled to play Morgado but because of the recent rains play was switched to Alamos on the advice of the golf reception – a decision that was justified by the time we finished. Whilst the course was very wet in places overall it was a drier place to be than Morgado. Total of nine players today resulted in us going out in three groups of 3. Thankfully the rain kept away with near ideal conditions to play. Special mention must go to the conditions of the greens- excellent considering the amount of rainfall they had received and very quick at times!
