The Algarve is a paradise for golfers
Pines, oaks, palm trees, fig and almond trees, rugged cliffs and the sea - the magnificent landscape and mild climate with over 300 days of sunshine a year make playing golf in the Algarve a special experience. This is also because the world's best golf architects, including Henry Cotton, Arnold Palmer and Robert Trent Jones, have tailored courses to the Portuguese golf coast that are among the most beautiful and challenging in the world. Such as the portfolio of Vilamoura Golf with the legendary Old Course, the second oldest golf course in the Algarve, as well as the Pinhal, Laguna and Millennium courses. Together, they offer golfers an impressive variety of playing options. At the end of 2024, the Old Course received a stylish rebranding with a new monogram logo that symbolizes craftsmanship and exclusivity. The rebranding was complemented by a state-of-the-art clubhouse that combines vintage charm with contemporary design and offers golfers a first-class meeting place.
With its challenging holes, the Old Course is reminiscent of the famous English courses and offers particularly attractive par 3 holes. The Millennium golf course provides variety. With its open layout, wide fairways and large greens, it appeals to golfers of all handicaps. In addition to all these golf holes, which are ideal for a week-long golf vacation, there are also the 18 holes of the first Els Club in Europe, which is still only open to private individuals. We'll see how much longer.
