Royal Golf Course at Vale do Lobo resort, has rolling fairways set amidst pine trees and beautiful lakes surrounded by wild flowers. Its features include the almost island green of the 9th and the famous 16th, with cliff-top carryover - one of the most celebrated golfing images in the world, which has become the veritable symbol of golf in the Algarve.|The Royal Golf Course was designed by top American golf architect Rocky Roquemore, based on original drawings made by Sir Henry Cotton. It was inaugurated in 1997.

Could you marshal duty on 16th as people skipped in line and snook in to make a que with later teetime

Course very good for the time of year. Tee Times Booking first class as always however the round was incredibly slow and decided to turn in at the 10th.

Wir waren das letzte flight heute und hatten 3 3er flight vor und sodaß wir leider an jedem Loch warten mußten und nur bis Loch 16 gespielt haben. Leider hatten wir die Greenkeeper die ganze Zeit hinter und vor uns, was von der Geräuschkulisse echt unangenehm war, schlimmer als das warten um weiterspielen zu können.
Die Jungs vom Cartservice sind super nett, der Platz ist super schön. Werden dort wieder spielen. -**- We were the last flight today and had 3 flights of 3 in front of us, so unfortunately we had to wait at every hole and only played up to hole 16. Unfortunately we had the greenkeepers behind and in front of us the whole time, which was really unpleasant from the background noise, worse than waiting to be able to continue playing.
The guys from the cart service are super nice, the course is really beautiful. We will play there again.

Greens not great and too much sand in bunkers. Layout and fairways good

Surprised to discover that the greens had been aerated recently and there was no notification either on booking or at the clubhouse. This is information that should be shared with players in advance.

It’s one of those courses that you have to play if staying in the Algarve, as the 16th is the one in all the photos! Clubhouse and the facilities are excellent but it’s always a slow round here! Buggy is recommended as there are some long walks between greens and tee boxes. We played as a group of 10 and was allowed to play as a 4,3,3 two days later on the Ocean we were paired up with 2 others to make 3 fourballs. Those who were playing the course for the first time were impressed.

The best thing I can say is the staff were lovely and very helpfull.
The course for the money they charge was in very poor condition,the bunkers should have been out of play loosing ball plugged in them, new sand probably filled that day. On the day we played the Royal there was a machine digging out a bunker at the 6th green one of our group hit his ball into that area which was scooped up by the digger never to be seen again.
