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.

Lots of work being done on course.
Workers' foreman noisey.
Otherwise in great shape

The staff, authentic older facilities, and quality of the course for sure take the #1 golf course in Portugal away from Monte Rei. The only thing that we did not like was that the holes are very close together so you always have someone around chatting. Also, sadly they were reconstructing the roads and cutting trees which disrupts the play quite heavily and there was no acknowledgement from the course that would compensate for it.

Very very slow play . Greens were only ok . Course itself was in great condition. Range is brilliant . Staff are excellent. The ranger really need to speed up play group ahead we’re a hole behind and I have no problem them hitting it 20 yards off tee every hole but we should have been let play thur .

No buggies allowed on course and then charge €20 hire for electric trollleys, should be FOC especially as
Many of the pathways are in need of repair.facilities and staff are excellent.
Course in good condition despite all the rain.

Experience was great; course was lovely and staff friendly. Buggy price at €60 is a bit steep

This time it was not in a good condition ,it was a lot of sand and many places without gras.... To excpensive to bee in that condition. We use to play Old course every time we are in Vilamoura, but next time we will not. There should have been a price reduction....

Friendly staff, but fairways under renovation, grass begins to grow, its like playing in a very large waste area. No information in advance for customers available. No price reduction.
