Kevin Viggiano 2025-10-02
Stunning! From start to finish, the service was exemplary and the course and facilities were fantastic!

Peter Clement 2025-10-01
First visit for a couple of years and the improvement is clear to see with a lot of investment having been made on the course and at the clubhouse.

Philip Kucharski 2025-09-29

Andrew Bligh 2025-09-29
Excellent experience; the practice area with the ball tracker was fantastic, the service was friendly and the course was in perfect condition.

Andy Noon 2025-09-28
A perfect experience from start to finish, looked after absolutely everything and the course was stunning.

Euan Esslemont 2025-09-25
Great venue. Great customer service. Fantastic greens. Was pricey in shop and for some of the food etc.

Marc Leon 2025-09-25
Parfait

Steve Threader 2025-09-14
Course and overall facilities have gone through a significant programme of improvement since we were last there in 2021. It was in great condition, the trees have been trimmed so you can see more of the course and the driving range facilities are excellent. Great course returned to its former glory.

Andrew Cliff 2025-07-25
Treated like Royalty, lovely place to play golf

Paul Beckinsale 2025-07-23

It is great to see the new clubhouse completed and the course back to the high level it has always been.

Maria McKay 2025-06-28
Fantastic course and facilities with the most helpful and friendly staff.

Saynt Jeeva 2025-06-25
Amazing course especially after all changes 2 years ago!

David Ashenhurst 2025-06-22
From start to finish the experience was amazing, we were greeted in the car park and our clubs were escorted to our buggy. The range with the track man was fantastic. The course was in amazing condition albeit the greens were very quick. Slight complaint would be that our clubs were offered to be cleaned but after a couple of drinks in the bar we went to collect our clubs and they weren’t clean but it didn’t ruin the day in anyway. Would recommend anyone to play.

Everything is Excellent

Monica Robertson 2025-06-15
Beautiful course , well maintained, lovely clubhouse & friendly staff , best course I have played so far in Portugal

Simon Reece 2025-06-10
I've been lucky enough to play this course many times over the past few years but its now been upgraded and its better than ever. From the greeting when your car arrives at reception, to your clubs carried to the buggies, water stations on the course, cold towels when you complete the round, clubhouse, bar, terrace, pro shop and restaurant have all have a face lift. Course investment has seen improved cart paths, lower limbs removed on trees and bunker upgrades. Back to being the best course in Vilamoura - brilliant.

Andy Mould 2025-06-06
Fantastic - will book through you again. Very quick responses from emails. Always keen to help

Danny sneddon 2025-06-04
Outstanding in every way.

Brian Hickey 2025-06-01
Overall experience in this course is hugely improved in last few years.

Iain Johnstone 2025-05-29
Course and facilities were excellent.

Kevin Tuohy 2025-05-19
Tee times changed to 12 minute intervals which mostly avoided hold ups. Course in great condition. Service good but not quite as good as when played last year. In conclusion felt it was a little too expensive and would choose alternatives in the future.

Ross Paisley 2025-05-19
The course and clubhouse have made wonderful improvements. The customer service was better than 10/10. A minor point would be that while course toilets are not in use, temporary toilets should be provided, especially for the ladies.

David Jones 2025-05-10
Amazing venue, beautiful clubhouse and great staff. Got paired with two single figure players, same as us so we had a very good match that we halfed.

Barry Spillane 2025-05-04
Excellent course and in great condition, looked after really well there.

James Cosgrove 2025-04-27
This place was unreal, class experience.

Tomasz Hamera 2025-04-19
Excellent golf course even if the weather was not so good.

Paul O'Donnell 2025-04-16
Wow! They have spent plenty of skilled time & money in preparing the course for the 2025 Golf Season! Presentation was superb. Tees, carpet fairways & true greens. As mid handicap (14.0) golfers we really enjoyed the test of this course. More expensive than other nice local courses but worth it. Very friendly & helpful staff in every department. A highly recommended visit!!

Jeannot Mailhot 2025-04-13
C’est toute une track de golf Personnel très agréable

Dennis Meredith 2025-03-31
Once again the Old Course exceeded all our expectations. In stunning order and the greens were magnificent. Clubhouse and staff are brilliant. Definitely on the list for 2026

Clive Sims 2025-03-22
I have been playing this course since 1987 and it remains a favourite of mine. Everything was perfect, the course, facilities and staff. It is getting expensive, my only hope is that it does not get too expensive for me.

Richard schmit 2025-03-12
great golfcourse. excellent service. good experience in restaurant.

Sean Murtagh 2025-03-10
We were greated well and made to feel welcome. Complimentary driving range was an added bonus The course itself was lovely. The experience and food in the clubhouse afterwards was fantastic We would recommend this course to our friends

Gerald Nuessel 2025-03-07
Großartiger Kurs und tolles Service, sehr freundliches Personal

Dr. Klaus Mittelbach 2025-03-04
Everything’s ok, in particular the driving range with the installed trackpad system is something new. Never the less now very expensive.

Geoff Dale 2025-03-02
A very good course. However I think the cost is now too much for the course.

Jaroslav Mraz 2025-03-02
great course with a friendly atmosphere

Great golf course in excellent condition. Our party played it last year and wanted to come back for another go. A bit of refurbishment going on, including the clubhouse, but that didn't cause much of an issue. The staff were great apart from the ''jobs worth'' course marshall. Our shuttle buses, arranged by our Dom Pedro hotel, were very late which meant we arrived virtually on our tee time. We had to book shuttles 1hr 30 mins before tee time and were told they would be 35/40 mins. Turned up 1hr 10 mins later. We therefore had to rush around and teed off slightly late. We then had the marshall tell us we were behind time. Seemed ignorant to the issue when told and part spoiled the experience. Very disappointing. Lower rating due to this.

Paul Meredith 2024-10-09
Course good. Service excellent. It would have been nice to know that clubhouse is being redeveloped. We had a major issue with the shuttle to the hotel as had to wait for nearly 1 hour.

Bernie Moloney 2024-10-01
Poor condition and preferred it as it was before.

Lucy MItchell 2024-09-16
It was under renovation when we went but the staff have done their best with temporary facilities. Staff very helpful & friendly. Course needed some work on the greens as they weren’t in good condition.

Monika Franck 2024-09-06
The course is unde construction in the moment We got a special offer for the buggies and the driving Range. We enjoyed the game

Cormac Hannan 2024-07-26
Greens in horrendous condition. No mention of it prior to booking. Everything else good

John Finnegan 2024-07-26
Disappointed by the condition of the greens but everything else was excellent

James Side 2024-07-25
Course was in reasonable condition albeit a lot of work being done and the greens were somewhat bobbly. I was unaware that the facilities would be unavailable and coupled with the work on the course I find it hard to believe that the cost wasn’t discounted to take this into account.

Anthony Alden 2024-07-23
hi the staff were amazing , but we really should have been told about the work happening on the course beforehand , chain saws and construction work is really not what we expected from the the most expensive course of our trip. we would have much preferred to play another course if we were made aware of this. The Millennium and Pinnal were fantastic but the old course was a let down

JULIAN REDDING 2024-07-19
Unaware course under major maintenance incl. Clubhouse (shut)

Joe Westall 2024-07-19
Greens were awful and marshals rushing us for no reason

Anthony Seaton 2024-06-27
Compared to previous years just a bit disappointed at the condition of the greens. They had recently been worked on but not great condition. Not made aware (made our booking 10 months ago) The work on clubhouse and infrastructure of paths etc didnt impact on golf much and is understood no doubt will enhance things in future.

Simon Mcelroy 2024-06-26
Poor not good value for money

Eamon McCay 2024-06-03
A lot of maintenance work being carried out which is obviously necessary , when completed it will look even more stunning,fairways have improved immensely.

Benton 2024-05-28
Lovely course but spoilt by all the works including paths and tree filling being carried out at the same time

Lopez Alain 2024-05-08
We had great time. Problem on car pathétique cart was too slow

Gerard Kinsella 2024-05-08
Old course in fantastic condition work been done on paths and cutting back trees but does not take away from the enjoyment of playing. played many times before and look forward to playing again.

Mark Hobson 2024-05-05
Great course but not in as good condition as previous years, and certain clientele noisy and do not look after the course

Allan Andesen 2024-05-01
Great as always

Michael FitzPatrick 2024-04-17
Lots of work being done on course. Workers' foreman noisey. Otherwise in great shape

Jan Senkerik 2024-04-02
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.

Mr Herbert Keil 2024-03-23
Eine einzige Baustelle ohne Entschuldigung oder Entgegenkommen. -**- A single construction site without apology or concession.

jamie 2024-03-18
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 .

Ronny Krogh 2024-03-11
Unfortunate to only play 10 holes due to foodpoisening. Missing toilets on back 9 my only remark service was great

Martin Punch 2024-02-13
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.

Roderick Lagendijk 2024-02-12
Buggy bar was the poor thing

Michael Hemingway-Rees 2024-01-29
Experience was great; course was lovely and staff friendly. Buggy price at €60 is a bit steep

Anne Nikolaisen 2024-01-08
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....

Dr. Klaus Mittelbach 2024-01-05
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.
