Top 5 Golf Courses to Visit in Vilamoura

Vilamoura's mix of accessible and elite courses caters to golfers of all skill levels. The following courses provide the perfect setting to improve your handicap in idyllic surroundings.

1. Dom Pedro Millennium

   A sprawling beach resort, Dom Pedro is home to numerous courses, including the 6,750-yard Millenium track. This wooded course is ideal for shorter hitters, putting a premium on accuracy with its narrow holes.

2. Vale do Lobo

   Vale do Lobo backs onto the Atlantic Ocean and offers a couple of courses to tackle. The Ocean Course was designed by English legend Henry Cotton, while the Royal Course is a newer addition, making the most of the resort's craggy coastline. Both offer breathtaking coastal views that you'd never get back home.

3. Dom Pedro Old Course

   One of the oldest courses in Portugal, this layout has matured beautifully. Offering a 6,780-yard length, with imaginative use of the sloping terrain, it's a testing course - and a visually appealing setting to show off your golfing skills.

4. Quinta do Lago North

   Home to three courses, this venue has been widely acclaimed, winning multiple Golf Digest awards. Layouts include designs by ex-Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley, and there's a TaylorMade Performance Centre to custom fit clubs and consult the experts.

5. Villa Sol

   A more relaxing challenge, Villa Sol offers a trio of nine-hole courses. All are sculpted to suit the undulating terrain, with devious bunkers and water in strategic locations. But there's no sense of unfairness here. A great test for intermediate players who back their accuracy.
