Vale do Lobo Royal - latest comments and reviews

Jennifer Rutherford 2023-09-29
Pleasant course - not sure it’s great value for money. Clubhouse great

Ronnie Carswell 2023-09-26
Very tight fairways, good greens but very disjointed layout.

John Redmond 2023-09-18
Greens very poor especially the front nine.

John Morrison 2023-09-18
Condition of the greens on the royal course compared to the ocean we're in terrible condition for those that take golf seriously.

Stuart young 2023-09-17
Greens on front 9 were in poor condition. On the back 9 they were as they should be

John Kerr 2023-09-17
Shockingly bad. Poor tees poor greens and very bad bunkers. The worst I have seen it. Not worth the money.

Branko Krmpotic 2023-09-11
17 holes with narrow fairways between homes, parking lots, streets and one spectacular ocean par 3. Well manicured golf course but soggy slow greens. Some construction activity on a couple of holes, but workers are very respectful of the players. Oh yes, lets not forget crazy rules: women also have to wear collared shirts and you cannot play from the black "member" tees - chose forward yellows ir champion whites. Score cards do not have course rating, so you cannot calculate

Guillaume Boizet 2023-09-06
Great customer experience. Really bad driving range. Course conditions: 7/10. Course experience: 7/10, disappointed by all the gardeners transiting / noise. Course: 8/10 (front 9 really boring, back 9 amazing)

Michiel Soeting 2023-09-05
Greens of both Roayl and Ocean were tyned sanded. Also fairway had several GUR areas. VdL should consider discounts in those circumstances. Also quality of bunkers varied a lot throughout the holes. Plus point: the renovated tee boxes on Royal are a big improvement.

Daniel 2023-09-05
Club was lovely, was working on the course so greens could have been better

Graeme Cox 2023-09-02
Really good - played on the 1st day having just stepped off the plane. A fair test & a good opening round

Rupert Paul 2023-08-31
The course was not in good condition- greens covered in massive pitch marks, etc. they also were sanding the tee boxes, so had to scrape them clean!
