Espiche golf course is located within a nature reserve and just five minutes from Lagos, Espiche Clubhouse & Golf is an eco-resort which has been perfectly integrated into the surrounding natural environment and offers a unique and authentic experience in the western Algarve.
Preservation, conservation and innovation of resource management are at the heart of Espiche Golf & Clubhouse. The 18 hole, par 72 golf course was designed to integrate effortlessly into the surrounding Algarve countryside and the indigenous flora and fauna of the area have been preserved, in keeping with the company ethos of nature preservation and conservation.

The exceptional location of the Clubhouse, situated on top of a hill overlooking the resort, offers breathtaking views across the golf course and the nature reserve. The views, coupled with the exceptional quality of the food available, makes the Clubhouse a reference for both lovers of golf and those who value the tranquility and beauty of nature itself.

Der Platz war in einem guten Zustand, die Grüns hervorragend! Die einzelnen Löcher sind interessant zu spielen, allerdings ist der Platz ein Ballfresser. Viele Schräglagen, so dass der Ball sehr schnell in die angrenzenden Büsche läuft und auch nicht mehr gefunden werden kann. Schade sind die eingeschränkten Öffnungszeiten der Küche im sehr netten Clubhausrestaurant mit schöner Aussicht auf den Platz. Bis 16 Uhr muss man bestellt haben, danach gibt es nur noch allerdings sehr leckere Baguettes. Küche ist ansonsten wirklich gut! -**- The course was in good condition, the greens excellent! The individual holes are interesting to play, but the course is a ball eater. Many sloping positions, so that the ball runs very quickly into the adjacent bushes and can also no longer be found. The limited opening hours of the kitchen in the very nice clubhouse restaurant with a beautiful view of the course are a pity. You have to order by 4 p.m., after that there are only very tasty baguettes. Otherwise, the cuisine is really good!

We received a great and helpful welcome from all the staff at Espiche. The course was in excellent condition generally although some of the tees were worn.

A tight course, unforgiven if wayward in your shots. A bit neglected in areas., but enjoyable.

The clubhouse is spectacular but it is obviously only the start of the development with road construction still underway. The course itself is quite hilly but there are some very beautiful holes. The greens, tees and fairways were in great condition. However, many of the fairways have run-offs which on another course would put you in the rough. The lack of rough means that we lost lots of balls from decent shots either in the scrub to the side or small valleys. I’m sure if you played the course often you would work out where you can and cannot hit the ball but this is easier said than done with the wind in the hills. Not a course for high handicappers unless they let the rough grow to keep balls in play.

Espiche course was in excellent condition and the Green fee was good. My only issue was that the round was very slow due to a 4 ball ahead of us otherwise a good round.

Course was in good condition considering irrigation issues but very tight and penal. Not helped as we played in high winds.

Nice course , unfair at times good shots can be easily lost due to sloping fairways AND BLIND SHOTs , course and greens in good condition. Our group lost several balls some to good shots.

Very tight, difficult course from the tee. In very good condition, greens quite slow.

Course requires accurate play. Small greens. Fairways dry and hard, bunkers wet. Green and tee boxes in good condition. Wind is an additional challenge.
Quality of the restaurant? Good question. We left after being ignored for more than 15 minutes.

played here 8 years ago and the addition of the clubhouse is a good step forward and looks great, on the course i commented last time about there being no rough so you went from fairway to dense wooded areas, this has been partly improved on some holes but not enough, the bushes are penal as its a lost ball every time the rough that is now there is not grown as its so thin as to be non existent it badly need some watering to get some growth in it [ not always possible with the climate }but its really a lottery when you hit the right part or the fairway and it disappears over the hill and isn,t seen again {the 10th being one example} progress has been made but not enough as all 4 of us said we will not play it again, greens were good though,

A very windy and warm day at Espiche. We love this course as the always changing winds makes it even more difficult to enjoy a good score. Unfortunately today it was slow play with two groups of young guys In the flights in front of us. Nevertheless we enjoyed the round.

Der Golfplatz liegt sehr schön gelegen in der Nähe von Lagos. Leider ist der Platz an einigen Löchern kaum spielbar, da die Bälle trotz gut platzierten Drives durch die Topographie des Platzes in die angrenzenden Büsche Rollen. Das Gras ist so herunteegemäht, dass der Ball dadurch nicht zu stoppen ist. Sehr schade, denn der Platz hat tolle Löcher und würde so viel mehr Spaß bedeuten! Daher die etwas schlechte Benotung. -**- The golf course is beautifully situated near Lagos. Unfortunately, the course is hardly playable on some holes, as the balls roll into the adjacent bushes due to the topography of the course, despite well-placed drives. The grass is so mown down that the ball cannot be stopped. It's a pity, because the course has great holes and would be so much more fun! Hence the somewhat poor grade.
