Vale do Lobo Ocean
The Ocean Golf Course at Vale do Lobo resort, features undulating fairways which run alongside nature reserve, before leading gently down to the shores of the Atlantic.|Its emblematic holes are two challenging and spectacular Par 4s, the 11th and the 14th – which treat golfers to some of the most spectacular views in the Algarve - and the Par 3 15th, which runs alongside the beach. The Ocean Course is composed of two of the original 9-hole golf courses designed by Sir Henry Cotton, which were opened in 1968 and 1972. His plans for the merged course became reality in 1995, after his death.

Great course. Nice views and interesting designed hole. Fantastic fairways and greens. A lot of new plantations. All well maintained.

Course was in a prestine condition. Pace of play was really really good. Whole staff was very friendly, there is nothing to complain about.

Course in great condition, but pace of play was very slow. It took about 4 hours 45 mins to get round. There should have been a marshal out on the course to speed things up (which there usually is). Still enjoyed the round but not as good as Val de Lobo Royal.

Lovely course, club house service was a little slow and food was not of high quality

Extremely long round with holes close to each other making it feel a little dangerous. Course conditions and views of the ocean were very good. Much preferred the Royal course over this one.
