Palmares golf course highlights itself in the Algarve coast because of its prime location, facing the incredible blue scenario of the ocean. A Perfect contrast with the green of this unique 27-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones II, which the links holes along the beach and the great views are the highlighting points.
The New 27 Holes Palmares Golf Course designed by Trent Jones Jr reopened mid 2010 and already Golf World magazine, has recently published its ‘top 100 in Europe’ list - and Onyria Palmares is ranked 26th in Continental Europe.

The course is very burnt out, it clearly has an irrigation problem. Greens are also very patchy. The layout is good, but it’s not presented to any sort of standard. Temporary green on 18, and no flag on another green. Would not recommend.

Quality and testing course. Not in the best of condition and greens struggling to recover after re turfing in large areas.
Not value for money this year, sadly.

Our second round of the day was also troubled by some very poor greens, including a temporary green. We were also behind a junior tournament which meant play was very slow, with one of the par 5’s taking 45 minutes. A real shame as this is usually the highlight of our golf

Fairways dry and a number of greens very patchy

Greens were in poor condition with often 2 deferent types of grass. The 18th had a very poor quality temporary green on the fairway - won’t be going back for a while

Course has not recovered from the damage caused by the early season drought. Hopefully steps will be taken to address the problems.

Overall a very interesting course. Condition was not the best, but was still playing well. Bunkers are not good.

After leaving a review yesterday lamenting the condition of the greens we spoke today after our round to a member of staff.
They explained the problems with the greens were due to the severe water shortage in the Algarve over the last couple of years.
The location and design of the course is fantastic so here's hoping they receive the rainfall they are desperate for this autumn and winter.

The location and course design are as always excellent.
However the greens are very poor either from disease or from lack of proper maintenance.
It was very disappointing, we have played Palmares many times over the years and the course is in poorer condition than we have ever seen it.
