Álamos Golf Course
Álamos is the shorter, tighter sibling to Morgado next door, and it earns its own following precisely because of that. Designed by Russell Talley of European Golf Design and opened in 2006, it sits in a valley below the Serra de Monchique, with lakes and farmland giving the round a genuinely peaceful, away-from-it-all feel.
Don't mistake short for easy. The fairways are narrower than Morgado's, the greens smaller, and the course demands precision over power from the first tee to the last. The par-5 2nd doglegs sharply right and sets an early tone, while the par-4 15th is the hole most likely to be remembered afterward: a storm ditch cuts diagonally across the fairway between tee and green, forcing a real decision on both the drive and the approach. Trees are placed with real intent throughout, and course management matters here more than it does almost anywhere else nearby. It's a round that rewards return visits, and plenty of regulars book it first whenever they're back in the area.
Facilities include a full driving range, a resident academy, and a clubhouse restaurant with sweeping views over the course and the mountains beyond. Álamos pairs naturally with Morgado for golfers wanting two very different tests within the same short drive.

Course decent condition. Greens just out of maintenance period a couple of weeks ago so a bit sandy but putt okay.

A trouble free experience from check in to tee off. Managed to pair up with 2 others and then. Club member after couple of holes. Course in decent condition, it played well. An enjoyable experience all round

Very nice course. The greens were a little inconsistent. Some greens were soaked just before we arrived on the green which made the putts really slow. Other greens were dry and faster. Difficult to judge speed.
The pace of play was very slow due to group ahead of our group was two holes behind. Course marshals should have asked them to move along or let people play through.

Enjoy playing Alamos and Morgado. Would have preferred an earlier teetime as it was half seven by the time we go back to Vilamoura.

Nice course, very fair and playable. Having now played both Morgado and Alamos, I would consider playing both courses next time I visit the area.
