About the course

The original at Vilamoura

The original course at Vilamoura, designed by Frank Pennink and opened in 1969. Rolling fairways run through mature pines, which close in to a narrow avenue on the 18th tee.

The club calls the 4th, played over the course’s only pond, its most scenic hole, and the 6th, the longest par 3 at 212 metres from the back tee, looks out towards the ocean. The 16th is the longest par 5: 514 metres from the white tee, and stroke index 2.

The clubhouse restaurant is in the style of a classic British pub.
