Vilamoura
Vilamoura - Old
One of the original and finest courses on the Algarve today, it is held in high regard around the world for its elegant simplicity. It is situated on elevated ground and is carved through an umbrella pine forest where accuracy from the tee is imperative. Narrow fairways are the layout’s primary defense and the greens are relatively flat. The course features limited bunkering and dense rough in places. The Old Course has hosted the Portuguese Open on numerous occasions.

Vilamoura - Victoria
A beautiful golf course designed by Arnold Palmer. This layout is set in the wetlands, which were protected during construction of the layout in 2004. Several lakes are focal points of the property and come into play on several holes. Wide, undulating fairways lead to rolling greens set among large hazards and bunkers. No. 11 is a memorable par-4. A large water hazard runs along the left side from the tee to the green, requiring an accurate tee shot and approach.
