Comments apply to all 3 reservations made for me.
It is a great act of faith purchasing something on line without any previous dealings and an offer price more competitive than we had had through our vacation management company. All the arrangements worked a treat and I will have no hesitation in using your service again or recommending to others

Ein schöner, immer gut gepflegter Platz mit vielen Herauforderungen und wegen der Höhen und Tiefen recht anstrengend. Die Ausblicke auf den Löchern 15 und 16 sind wunderschön und unvergesslich! Das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich.

We had a great round of golf, the course was amazing and staff were excellent. I cannot fault the service we received
Robert Moore

I had forgotten how good a course this is. It's short off the yellows but there are so few bad holes. The back nine is an absolute pleasure and the run from 3-7 isn't that bad either. Due to unforseen circumstances, the size of our party halved on the eve of the event and the pro shop were so accommodating in terms of ensuring we received a refund for those players. Service in Spikes bar well improved as well! If you get a chance, use the Royal Spa after your round (40 EUR for 2) for a bit of well deserved relaxation!

The receprion service at Valo de Lobo - a bit slow and complicated procedure- (e.g. why is the paper voucher requested?)

Another sublime course, great course conditions and unbelievable scenery. It was much busier than the others we've played, but that speaks volumes of the quality of the course. A free buggie also made for a relatively cheap afternoon. Will definitely be back!

Vale Do Lobo Royal, pristine conditions, a bit tough cookie, but my oh my how fun. Played yet another good round. And played slot better than when I was here and played ocean. Condition on greens, fw, rough and sand was epic!! I really liked it here ;) The staff also shall have their applause, well deserved. Professional and helpful. That has been the signature of the Portugese, extremely helpful and ppl persons. Thank you all again.

Every one from reception to starter were very helpful and the course was excellent
Paul Fernandez
2019-05-10
Also and excellent venue, only comment would be the greens needed cutting / rolling were much slower than Ocean course
Plus were behind a 4 ball in twilight round who’s standard of golf was shocking and would challenge their ability to be allowed to play. Man and woman of 4 ball repeatedly took 2-3 balls each off the tee!!

Excellent. Course was very accommodating when we wanted to change our tee time. Very friendly and helpful staff. Course in great condition and we played well.
James Tannett
2018-12-16
Second time have played here. Worth it for the par 3 16th alone.... good condition, need a buggy as some big gaps between some of the holes. Other course was closed for maintenance otherwise would have played here too.
Padraic Ó Dubhshláine
2018-11-28
The Vale Do Lobo Royal course was very nice. It was tight in places and if you are a little wild off the tee, it may prove to be very penalizing. That being said, the layout was enjoyable and it proved a good challenge. Unfortunately when we played it was very wet as Portugal had encountered unprecedented rainfall so we can completely understand why it was a little wet. The facilities are very good, reception, changing rooms, putting green were all very good, but the driving range is restricted to a maximum of a 9 iron which is not great. The waiting staff were not very accommodating as we found ourselves asking 3 times for menus for food, but when we got the food, it was very tasty and filling.
Overall the course was tricky, challenging and unfair at times, but as a resort or package course outside of the vilamoura courses, I would recommend it after the ocean course.
Aidan O'Byrne
2018-11-24
Overall our experience was very good , we knew teeing off at 1pm that time would be tight and we got quickly around to the 15th where there was a long wait as a number of groups took photos of the iconic 16th -
Gillian Travis
2018-11-21
Great layout, some tight & interesting holes & overall in good condition despite the wet weather. Unfortunately very busy with too many players on the golf course & the marshall's going round & only saying 'hello'. They really need to do something about SLOW PLAY & large groups holding up the whole course. Would return & try again.
Mikko Raunio
2018-11-09
I like the course and the properties were not too close to the fairways, as someone reviewed. The signature hole 16 was quite tough as it was strong wind against - my ball ended 0,5 m too short in a bunker.
Mr Matt Grant
2018-10-12
Great course, with some fantastic holes, 15 great view down to the sea and as for 16, awesome par 3, would definitely recommend

Cheryl Myles
2018-09-21
What a stunning course. Beautiful scenery and it’s true what they say you must play the 16th hole the views are fantastic and a little risk is richly rewarded. Fairways and greens in very good condition and the facilities are second to none. All the staff are helpful. Drinks buggy comes round often. Yes it is expensive but I would say it’s a must play if I’m the area.
Phil Sharpe
2018-09-17
Loved the course, in great condition. Superb facilities, not the cheapest part of the Algarve but definitely worth a visit

We [played the Royal course which was in superb condition. A really playable course, well laid out, some stunning scenery creating very enjoyable holiday golf.
The whole experience at Vale Do Lobo was excellent, a warm welcome at reception, excellent facilities, lovely set up with great bar, locker rooms etc. The starter and caddie masters were very helpful which all contributed to a lovely all round experience.
Highly recommended.

My favourite of the week just . A good test of golf tougher than the ocean course it great condition fast true greens a great variety of holes stunning views and of course the par 3 16th the 200 yd carry or so over the cliffs and beach below clubhouse great would return without hesitancy
Doug Smith
2016-08-09
The general condition of the course was good. The greens were true and in good condition. It was an extremely hot day but we only saw the comfort/bar buggy twice. Shame about latest erosion of the cliffs around the 16th tee. Overall a good experience.

In comparison with other courses, we found the quality of the fairways and greens to be a bit disappointing. Not in relation to the price you pay to play. We had a nice round but prefer Ocean above Royal.

What a great course - it is such a shame that the 2nd half of our round on Royal was so slow. We didn't quite make it round the full 18 before the sun went down. The facilities at Vale do Lobo are brilliant and the staff cannot do enough for you. I will come back

2019-06-23
VDL Royal remains a decent track but it has been overtaken by many of its new neighbours. Pace of play was too slow and this is caused by the quality of golfers allowed on the course. Two of the three ball in front of us could hardly hit the ball and when one of their first tee shots went at right angles into the car park something should have been said. It’s all about making money! Driving down streets between green and next tee was a bit strange. The 16th is a fantastic hole but not sure the other 17 make this one hole worth it
Trym Anderson

Lovely course - nice playing partners. Miss a good driving range at Vale do Lobo
Tony Coombs
2019-05-14
Single track course that has lob on both sides therefore requires some straight hitting off the tee. Tees, fairways and greens in great condition. The strong breeze made the round interesting, especially the 'million hole in one' where I upped club by 4 to the centre of the green due to the gusting conditions. Overall a tough place to score but a good challenge.
Ian Green

Excellent, staff very courteous, helpful and accommodating. The golf course was in very good shape. Don’t be deceived by the first three holes which seem very blah. The rest of the course was great. The fifteenth and especially the sixteenth hole was breathtaking.

Good course but not comparable to Ocean. I always use trolleys and a club/course of this standard/price should have upgraded to 3 wheel trolleys instead of old 2 wheelers.

Only negatives-some tees were not flat and the pace of play was slow
If they insist on asking your handicaps they should not allow high handicap players on the course at it slows the pace right down

Delaume Catherine

Fabulous golf course and services. Upstanding fairways. We were not allowed to start before our tee time as in Penina, but we had enough time, even without buggies, to play the whole course before sunset.
Peter Watson
2018-04-17
The course is in excellent condition considering the recent wet weather. A buggy is recommended as there is some distance between some of the greens and tees
Conor Kelly
2018-04-16
Weather was very poor on arrival and the reception staff were very friendly and pushed our tee time back 2 hours. Food was v good in the restaurant and staff are very friendly. Played the Ocean course on Wednesday and Royal course on Thursday. The round on Thursday was very slow. We had a 3 ball. Would always recommend playing in a 4 ball if its busy. All round this is a fantastic venue. In my opinion the Royal is far superior to the Ocean course. We will be back again.
Brian Filler

Karin Schirocki
2018-03-16
abwechslungsreich, super gepflegt, tolle Fairways und Grüns. Spektakulär sicherlich Loch 16. Wenn wir uns zwischen dem Royal und dem Ocean entscheiden müssten würden wir allerdingst den Ocean spielen. Aber eigentlich nehmen sich beide Plätze nicht wirklich viel.
Whittal Williams

Ian Hunt

Fabulous experience, superb customer experience, lovely food.
The course was in exceptional condition, pace of play was good, marshals were discrete but on it in terms of maintaining the pace of play. A memorable day's golf.
Andrew Stevenson
2018-03-08
Lovely course and I played early. Trouble was that I was always with greens staff on machines: sometimes three machines on my hole. As a result it spoiled my round I am afraid.
Dr. Volker Müller
2018-03-07
The course is in a very good condition. Fast greens- great!
The stuff at the desk was friendly and politely.
Unfortunately we'd a slow 4Ball flight in front ( took nearly 2h to play 6 holes ). No marshal around.

Auffallend ist das gepflegte dichte Fairway, das auf eine Fairwaybewässerung hinweist. Leider sehen sich immer wieder Golfer außerstande, Divots wieder einzusetzen. Die Grüns sind ebenfalls gut gepflegt. Das Puttinggrün hatte allerdings nichts mit den schnellen Grüns auf der Runde gemein. Diejenigen Golfer, die auf ein Buggy verzichten, müssen eine gute Kondition haben. Die Topographie des Platzes weißt einige Steigungen auf. Die Sanitäranlagen sind auf dem neusten Stand, so dass auch das Duschen zum Genuss wird.

Vale do Lobo Royal zählt unseres Erachtens zu den schönsten Gofplätzen an der Algarve. Besonders beeindruckend ist das berühmte Loch 16 mit dem fantastischen Blick und der golferischen Herausforderung. Lediglich die zum Teil langen Wege zwischen den Löchern sind nachteilig.

I have always said I would never return to this place due to the attitude of the staff, we only came back because one of our party had not played here before.
Pleasantly surprised by what few staff we met, greatly improved attitude or did we get lucky?
Course as good as ever, may even return again or maybe that would be tempting fate.

Marc Vandeplas

truly wonderful. We got the first twighlight green fee and still managed to complete the 18 holes while only paying half the price. The Royal course is somehow easier than the Ocean but the 16th hole is worth waiting for.

Ken Castle
2017-03-11
Always have liked this course, if you are off your game it kills you, and there are still holes on it that after a dozen tries, I have yet to play well! Quick greens, which I like, but the fringes/first cut are much springier than in the UK, making it v difficult to get reliable contact.
Axel Heuser
2017-03-08
I prefer more this course than the Ocean course. It is a superb course, the signature hole is the par-3, hitting over cliffs. The fairways are ondulated und bride enough.
William Black
2017-03-07
Good but perhaps too testing for us.
Terry Bird

Trevor Swift

Only issue was that as we booked as a 2 ball we were paired with two others at Val do Lobo. This turned out to be an 80 year old couple, so progress was frustrating and slow.
The course really ought make an effort to join together similar ability golfers
Doug Smith
2017-03-01
Always a pleasure to play at Val do Lobo. From the great reception at the check in to the assistance from the starters etc. The Royal course was in pretty good condition, and the greens were true and fast enough without being too fast. Some of the Tee grounds could be better but that's a small issue. A great day out.
Howard L Verrill
2017-02-28
Immaculate golf course. Greens, rough, fairways, bunkers. Tip to shape. Beautiful course to play. I had a great day there,
Rob Hollis
2017-02-27

Tom Broodbakker
2017-02-19
Not a very special course. Too much distance between the holes and sometimes poorly direction given between the holes
Doug Smith
2017-01-22
The Royal at Vale do Lobo is a very interesting course, winding through the Vale do Lobo estate. Yesterday the course was in very good condition but the greens were lightening fast which suited some but not everyone. Always made welcome here. Try it.

Everything OK
Howard Lockhart
2016-12-01
The tougher of the 2 courses but also suffering slightly from the weather and the volume of play.
Only irritation is that we were a 6 and the club treated us as a 4 and a 2 and put others (strangers) out with us. Other than that the staff were excellent.
Patrick J Neary

We played VdL twice and it was good. The first round was soured by our tee time being delayed by two hours and we felt that the staff, especially at reception, were not exactly apologetic. Tee Times were extremely apologetic, and sorted us out complimentary buggies for our next two rounds - something that we felt the course should have offered. We enjoyed the Royal Course but felt that the Ocean was better.
