The Old Course – A Timeless Classic, Elevated
Located in the heart of Vilamoura, just 20 minutes from Faro Airport, The Old Course is one of the Algarve’s most iconic layouts. Designed by Frank Pennink, this parkland-style course winds through majestic pine trees, creating both beauty and challenge.
Recent renovations have further enhanced its legacy, with a modernised clubhouse, an upgraded driving range featuring TrackMan technology, and improved course conditions. As with all Vilamoura Golf courses, it upholds strict environmental sustainability standards, ensuring a pristine and eco-friendly experience.
A perfect blend of heritage and innovation, The Old Course Vilamoura remains a must-play for golfers seeking tradition, challenge, and world-class facilities.

Excellent and well managed course. Facilities are first class as is the service from the moment you arrive and until you leave. The staff at the pro shop provided an excellent overview of the course, facilities etc. Trackmans have been installed on the driving range, complimentary coffee at the first tee.
Some feel the Green fees high, however I believe they are commensurate with the experience provided.

The best course we've played in the Algarve so far (11 so far). Everything seems a bit quieter and more beautiful. The clubhouse is elegant but rather simple. The staff greets guests at the parking lot and truly tries to anticipate their every need. The driving range offers free balls arranged in pyramids and a Trackman for every lane! At tee 1, you receive your score card and personalized Old Course bag tag. The fairways are beautifully laid out, and you don't miss the sea and cliffs at all on this course. The greens are nice and firm and the fastest we've played here so far. You should be in good shape, as there are quite a few elevation changes to overcome (if you don't use a buggy). After the round, we were greeted by staff at the 18th green, who presented us with a certificate for a successful day. The caddy master gave us a wet towel to refresh ourselves. We rounded off the day on the small but lovely terrace with a steak sandwich and a burger. Excellent!!!
