Vale do Lobo
Vale Do Lobo - Ocean
Comprised of two original nines designed by Sir Henry Cotton, the 18-hole layout came to fruition in 1985 and quickly became a European highlight. Meandering through a nature reserve, the back nine, in particular, presents spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean. Several holes approach the beach. The 11th and 14th are challenging and dramatic par-4s, images certain to sear into the memory of any golfer who plays here. The 15th is another scenic highlight, a lovely par-3 that parallels the ocean.

Vale Do Lobo - Royal
Designed by the legendary British golfer Sir Henry Cotton and upgraded in more recent times by the American golf architect Rocky Roquemore, it offers some of the best golf in the Algarve. The breathtaking 16th hole on the Royal Course is a par-3 that plays along the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The European Tour star and former Ryder Cup member Jarmo Sandelin described it as one of the most difficult he’s played when the wind is blowing in.
