Very Good See all 93 reviews

The Pinhal Course, flowing over the hills of Vilamoura,  is the second-oldest course in the Vilamoura resort, and like the Old Course Vilamoura was designed by the esteemed Frank Pennink. Since its inception in 1976, the Pinhal has been improved, most notably by Robert Trent Jones in 1985, and remains one of the top courses in Portugal today. 

Found by the popular coastal town of Vilamoura in the heart of the Algarve, the Pinhal Vilamoura is ideally situated for groups of golfers who are looking for a fun round before hitting the town. Pinhal has long been a favourite among returning golfers, as one of best courses in the Algarve it is a worthy addition to any golf break.

Pinhal Course

The predominant character of the course comes as a result of the rolling landscape that is heavily populated by Umbrella and Atlantic Pines. These trees are frequently obstacles to the visiting golfer, while there are also streams and a lake that can be decidedly tricky.

To keep up with the advancements in golf technology, the Pinhal recently lengthened a number of holes, and the resultant 6,947 yards is a genuine pleasure to play during a golf escape in the popular resort town.

Long walk between holes and over roads so if not good at walking take a buggy. The course was in good condition and the greens a little slower than the other courses. Still a good course.

Course has clearly had too much traffic, and needs some TLC. Greens and Fairways were not what we’d expect from such a well renowned course. Pace of play was also far to slow.

One of my favourite courses in Vilamoura which I have played several times. However this time it appeared in need of a bit of care and attention as quite a number of the holes had a number of divots. Having said that I would certainly play it again as a good challenge for my handicap of 13

Having visited and played the course twice last year I would definitely rate it as our favourite course. The majority of the group scored favourably on the two occasions we played on it this year. Although heavily tree lined, I would say it offers a challenge to any golfer and is well worth a visit.
