The Old Course - the name saying it all. Situated in the heart of the Vilamoura seaside resort a mere 20-minute drive from Faro airport, this Frank Pennink designed parkland style layout is one of the oldest in the region and renowned all over the golfing world. Often described as the Grande Dame of Algarve courses, it meanders throughout impressive pinetrees - the principal hazard - over gently undulating natural terrain.|In addition to raising the Vilamoura Old Course to new heights of quality, an attractive new clubhouse and adjacent putting green were also built at that time. As with all Vilamoura courses, environmental protection practices are strictly adhered to by means of detailed management systems in line with guidelines established by ISO 14001 standards, Green Globe and Committed to Green programmes.

Second time we played it in this trip. Very enjoyable, but vaet paths really need work, for a world class golf course its embarrassing to have such terrible paths. Pace of play was excellent.

Very nice layout. Pleasure to play. Cart paths are very dated and need a major rebuild. As usual, these guys play games with the tee placement. Everything is pushed forward. Got done in 4 hours so can't complain too much.

Always play Old Course when we come over. This time it was not enjoyable. We were paired with another 2 ball. Although company was good one player was of unknown handicap and was terrible. Ruined the experience for the round. Supposed to have been our holiday treat. Will need to rethink this for next time.

Hi, I always love playing the old course. I was a little disappointed though on this occasion. While the fairways and greens are very good for this time of year, the paths and signage were in very poor condition( especially around holes 2 to 4). As always though, I look forward to coming back again on my next visit.

Lovely course. We played at twilight, some small delays meant we only managed to play 17. Buggies back at 8 was better than Vila Sol

Got partnered with two really poor players who didn’t have any golf etiquette. Over 2.5 hours for 9 holes, ended up coming off due to such a poor experience. Great course and great condition but poor experience
