Amendoeira Faldo
Nick Faldo Golf Course, designed by Nick Faldo, with strategic play in mind, this golf course demands careful positioning to score well, rocky outcrops, meandering watercourses and views to the distant mountains and orange groves defining its essential character.|Faldo golf course opens with a testing uphill, Par-4, offering a number of 'risk reward' opportunities.The downhill, Par-5, fourth encounters a meandering watercourse, which comes into play on three of the front 9 holes and two on the back niine.The inward 9 holes include several, blind holes which will become the talking point of the '19th hole cognoscenti'. Faldo golf course offers a serious testing for the mid low handicap players, and can be a serious nightmare for beginners. In all Faldo golf course needs to be played more then once to give any player a chance of a good score.

Very interesting course but quite challenging. Buggy is absoloutely mandatory as we are permanently going up and down. Course is in wonderful conditions.
Service is great (complementary buggy, supply of free water bottles when playing)

This is a golf course. Absolutely, without question, one of the most well laid out, challenging and beautiful courses in Europe. Every time we pulled up to the next tee box was a wow moment looking down the next fairway. There is no signature hole, they are all pretty much amazing. This course might beat you up a little first time playing it with so many unexpected and unforeseen trouble spots to challenge every club in your bag but you will still walk away with a smile. First time I ever played it today and I got my butt kicked, but I will never miss an opportunity to play this course again, ever.

In case you don't know the course, please note it is mandatory to use a buggy, since some transitions are huge and the golf course is spread over a very big amount of land. They've sanded the greens recently but the ball rolls perfectly. Rest of the course is in pretty good shape, except the bunkers which have been left apart I guess during the Covid lockdown and are currently in awful conditions... But really fun course to play, large variety of holes, definitively worth a visit!

Great course, unfortunately our experience was slightly tainted by slow play ahead. Could of been managed better by course Marshall's. Would definitely play again though

Hard course! Lots of bunkers, narrow, sloping greens, and interesting holes. Not great for beginners, but a real challenge for more experienced players. Loved it!

Tough Test for every Golfer. 150 meters to the fairway of each par 4 and 5. Warm welcome in the office, good food in the clubhouse restaurant.
Peter Clement

Excellent course, tough with greens very well protected by many bunkers. Good test of golf.. Would be very challenging for higher handicap golfers.
Gordon McCrae
2019-01-28
Very challenging course but if you pick your way around it you can get a decent score. wonderful facilities and we literally had millionaires golf and didn't see anyone else on the course we played. The Christie O'Connor course seemed to have more visitors that day

James Tannett
2018-12-16
Worth the 45 min drive. Fantastic course. Typical Faldo design, good strategic golf required ( or just hit the fairways-easier said than done). True fast greens, lush fairway. Hardly anyone on the course which was nice. Some big carries, even from the yellow tees. Course for the better golfer. Now that I have played it once will go back again and maybe play some of th3 holes a bit differently.

I have to say that the Faldo Course is not my favourite on the Algarve, too many blind shots, but the course was in good condition and we could have played out of the bunkers yesterday. You do though need a buggy, my GPS measured it at 8 miles round the course. In the club house the staff were attentive and helpful

Amendoeira reminded me a bit of of Finca Cortesin. This has been a course in perfect condition, interesting and beautiful layout (very nice use of wast areas) and it was a pity that we had to stop due to rain/thunder. We got a voucher however which was very nice. Well return to that one for sure.

Course was in poor condition compared to previous years, the bunkers were really poor with in some cases no sand and the webbing of the base exposed
Ian Buchanan

Condition of the Faldo was fine but there are some poor holes particularly on the back nine which climbed up and down a hill.

Very challenging layout. Will play it again to better get the strategy right. True but quite slow greens. Friendly staff which managed to pair us up with another couple as the booking had not gone through.
Mark Smith
2019-12-26
Excellent course with great staff. Could have done with a course Marshall as two ball ahead of us were very slow (5-10 minutes to putt on each hole and regularly drove their buggy right up to the green).

James Clare

Course was not as good as when we played it 6m5 years ago. Tees used to be excellent but now we’re poor and general upkeep was down. Buggy battery died on 14 so needed someone to come out to change it over. Course layout is good overall and food was great. Restaurant and pro shop staff were very friendly and helpful.
Christian Overgaard
2019-10-08
Great scenery, demanding course but alot of fun, only for buggy playing, too long to walk
James Curley
2019-08-31
Managed to get through a 4 ball at the second hole and finished 18 holes in 3 hours 20 minutes. Great day advise to play from yellow tees unless your a single handicap then chose the white tees.
Andrew Slavin
2019-08-28
wonderful day out at a superb golf course and well looked after by the team at Amendoeira
Rob Barlow
2019-08-20
The Staff were helpful and very welcoming. Unfortunately the buggy paths and non playing areas of the course look tired and in real need of some attention (the back 9 especially). Its not as nice as I remembered is when I played it a few years ago. I would probably look at other courses in the future.
Alex Morgan
2019-08-18
Tough course, lots of bunkers strategically located around fairways and greens. Staying on the fairways is critical as most rough consists of gravel areas
Andrew Russell

The course was in great condition. The bar and restaurant slow service.

Good course. 16th needs to be longer. Booking process very easy. All good.
Terry Jackson

Excellent course very well looked after., would have been higher rating but they had deep scarified all the Fairways when we played greens were good though.
David Bowles
2019-06-23
It’s been some time since I played this course.
It is certainly a challenge and better to play now than two years ago.
There are a couple of holes where you benefit from from experience and where they have opened up the view of the fairway. The layout is challenging to your temperament but if you play to the correct lines ( now you can see the lines)
It can be rewarding.
Geoff stockle

Started as the best. Now course quality of the fairways average. Driving range was excellent , with the ball pyramids now just average with the ball Maschine. Everything is dry there. It a pitty , please put more water on the fairways and change the driving range policy. Then the high prices are ok ????
Matt Burke

Not great condition
Conor Claxton
2019-04-30
Overall course condition has deteriorated. The tee boxes were particularly bad this time. They were covered in sand and it was virtually impossible to get a flat lie on a tee box. They need significant improvement. The service levels in the bar/terrace were also down on previous years. It wasn't particularly busy when we finished but it took over 20 minutes to get a drink. Overall, the course is ok but I don't think it is great value for money now.

Enjoyed our experience today. Although it felt a bit early in their season, the team were very friendly. The course was in good condition despite the overnight rain and it was a challenge for both White and Red tees, (Dad and Son). Didn’t stop for lunch as the place felt a bit quiet. Some of the course infrastructure could do with some love, eg Hole Signs with tiles missing.

Francois Leitner
2019-03-06
The service there was an improvement from our last visit but you still get the feeling from some of the staff that they are fat up with the guest....
The course is a big pleasure to play and the only minus was that our buggy went dead with three holes to go so we had to push it...! :-(

Beautiful course, good shape, helpful and very friendly stuff. Seen no marhall. Course is a little bit to wet cause of the lot of rain in Oct. and Nov.
The cart path are mostly in a bad condition. Could be better.
Max De Groot
2018-11-29
for such an expensive course it really is unacceptable that the round takes more than five and a half hours due to extremely slow play without any marshal showing up to speed up the game

Des Allen
2017-12-05
All in all we were very well attended for at the club on arrival, at breakfast and on the course, really can't complain about any of that. However on our return to the bar after the round the barman had rather odd attitude. When spoken too he ignored the request so you never knew if he had heard you, so on checking with him making the request a 2nd time, he then replied ''I heard you'' he did this two or there times that I am aware of. The same was also pointed out to me by a friend. Very strange.
other than this no complaint, all very good.

2017-11-13
Beatiful and well maintained course with excellent holes and greens. However for this green fee we would expert much better facilities for walking the course. The Faldo course seems exclusively arranged for buggies since the many stone paths are very slippery to walk and the fairways can only be reached by lifting your trolley over the ropes and stone walls alongside the paths. Please allow also fit and fast playing walking golfers!

We said before we went we would play off yellow tees and when we got there, we started on whites, which was a mistake.
We rated this as 6th

Lovely course. From arriving at reception to collecting buggy, playing and returning, all the staff were most helpful

david shannon
2016-06-21
Excellent condition for a resort course and some tricky blind shots, look forward to playing it again when know where we are going. Like O'Connor, bunkers probably only disappointment, very varied in sand condition.
Having played the Faldo course at Lough Erne in Northern Ireland, this one is almost as good.
Buggies are essential as it would be a very long walk, up and down hills.

Jason Whalley
2016-05-04
Superb experience but very very tough course with 'challenges' everywhere. Customer service absolutely superb - the one criticism is that I felt it was difficult for being difficult's sake. You would hit a perfectly good shot yet get penalised for it - definitely one of those courses where the 2nd round would be far better as you know what to expect.
Mark King
2016-05-01
I think the design of the Faldo course is for the low handicap player as a result I scored below what i would expect. That said the course was beautifully presented with quality greens, fairways and bunkers.
Eriks Eglitis

Great course, great experience. Only minor glitch: was not clear how to operate locker key card, no instructions in English in locker room. Looking forward to play here again.
Paul Froome
2016-03-31
The faldo course was superb but far too busy and took over 6 hours. This was fairly ridiculous. They were the only course we played from 9 courses who didnt have a marshall and certainly the one who needed it the most.
Trevor Wills
2016-02-04
Quite a testing course for a 22 handicapper, particularly the carry required for the drives but a beautiful course and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Chez Carlos Golf Society Tournament @ Oceanico Faldo

Terracotta coloured soil contrast to the expansive golden bunkers. The full effect of the course takes shape on the back nine as players wind their way up the hillside. The 15th tee is at the peak and the complex spreads out ahead of you with its sister course, O Connor Jnr, in the distance - a great vista.
All players arrived in good time and many made good use of the superb free practice facilities on offer. Betterball stableford pairs was today's format off the yellow's tee (5858mts). For the record behind these are a further two tees! The course was in superb shape and the off fairway bushes, pampas grasses and plants have given the course that extra maturity since last time I played it. Graham Newman found a stead fast partner with Bomber and carded a great 44pts to steal the show from father and son Shane and Shandon.
Once again a fine spread laid on by Parkys Bar in Vilamoura.
