Dom Pedro Pinhal Golf Course

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.

Long course, long distance between each hole. Sometimes not sure which direction to head for the next hole

Great course we were given a 10 euros voucher towards food or drink which was appreciated.

Lots of trees,course in good condition,greens in good shape some faster than others,

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.

very good as always

We bumped into Paul Lawrie on this course so it’s quite famous for professional competitions Like most courses it’s a different beast off the whites. Needless to say we played yellow and red. We enjoyed the course and was lucky with the weather as the forecast had showers We would definitely return to this one

In great condition always a fair challenge.

Really nice course and a good test, greens were a bit cut up and a bit slow

Lots of trees

building works front of clubhouse, course good condition

Great staff and facilities. Greens were not that great. Rest of course was good. Tight.

Nice course which is often described as the poor relation of the Dom Pedro course. We all thoroughly enjoyed it. Suits the accurate golfer as the trees are merciless

Again, a lot of trees in middle of fairways. Excellent organisation re joining other players to make up 4 ball game. No bottled water supplied.

Enjoyed this course best of the three we played

Lovely course

Enjoyable

The course was in good condition however some of the fairways had large numbers of infilled divots. This is probably a result of the high foot traffic and occasional golfers rather than poor management

Course wasn’t the best I’ve seen it

A very mature tree lined course. Couldn't fault the greens and fairways. This course rated number two out of the three courses that we played. You definitely need a golf buggy for this course as there is some distance from green to tee box on some of the holes.

Stunning Golf course.

A lovely setting with some challenging but enjoyable holes. The new terrace on the side of the club house enhances the 19th hole experience.

Very enjoyable. Flowed well. No issues in getting buggies for our 9am tee time but seemed to be a shortage at 1.45 as we finished. Helpful staff. Good bar/restaurant.

Lovely course with very attentive staff. quite wide fairways & well maintained. some of the facilities are slightly in need of refurbishment otherwise all ok

Nice course lot of trees!!

Enjoyable round.

Hard to fault the condition of the course and the difficulty will vary for all groups. We have a lot of higher handicap players and we averaged 29 points.

Our group of four thoroughly enjoyed the course

Trees everywhere not sure if we will play it again think we like vilasol better

First time played and all the lads loved it Tough but fair

I have played Pinhal many times and the course is looking tired. Its a nice course but will be giving it a miss on our next trip, the pace of play was extremely slow taking us 2 hours to play 6 holes and the marshals did not attempt to move pace along, Sorry Pinhal

Found course very tricky with correct ball placement off the tee required on most holes. Greens slower than other courses. Enjoyed the test on offer. Found it fascinating that the course is played through the town. The only real negative was the amount of people on the course. It was packed with a 5 to 10 minute wait on every shot which meant a round of 5 hours. I saw 11 golfers on 1 tee. Surely this can be better time managed

Most enjoyable experience

2nd best to millennium,another tight course,a 5 iron is perfect to tee off most holes on this course greens and fairways brilliant,

course well looked after. in general the green fees were quite expensive. even vila sol was over the top on price, very good otherwise.

Slow had to start at 10th

Very nice course to play.

We didn’t have the best of starts. We were a group of 6 playing as two 3’s throughout our break, playing as teams as well as individuals. They insisted that two unknow players were to join us, making us two 4’s, thus abandoning our team competition. After a heated conversation we managed to get it resolved. Decent course, but really tight, some of the trees are ridiculously located. The greens were good and more receptive.

good value for money

Liked this course a little more than the others.

We have played this course three times and it is a good course regarding difficulty to finish on.

Enjoyable golfing experience even for a high handicaper like me. Tree lined fairways and doglegs. For the good golfer with drives that are true it would not be that difficult.

great course.

Another stunning golf course. Thoroughly enjoyed the round.

I enjoyed this course. I accept that there had been heavy rainfall the night before but there was a lot of standing water and the greens were all over the shop. one would be ridiculously fast then the next really slow. It was difficult to get a rhythm going.

lovely course but was paired with a couple who were extremely slow... I think handicaps should be paired up a bit better so play can flow better

Very nice course however the greens seemed tired. Nice to have a refreshment hut halfway round. Like the other courses stay out the water and you will always have a shot.

Course was in good condition even after heavy rain

buggys to dear

greens were in a very poor condition. really dissapointed

Enjoyed the course with a good variety of holes but was disappointed with the fairways as these were quite wet which lead to a lot of mud balls.

The buggie situation was a shambles, pack them and stack them situation with players. Will not go back again.

Great golf but disdappointed that our 3 T itimes for 10 people resulted in 2 add on players ...which kinda of ruined our usual game format

cannot pre-book buggies, therefore it's a gamble if you want to book whilst you are there, no buggies some players were walking and with a group of 16 player walking split the group up, therefore the course was very slow, as it's a long walk between green and tee, been here 3 years on the trot wouldn't return, service is poor and gone backwards, over crowded the course and staff don't care!

No problems with pace of play The grass on fairways did not seem secured to under surface

Expensive for the standard of the course

No shortage of pine trees on this one If you get out of position it’s a guaranteed dropped shot So you really need to plot your way round if you are going to score Other than that it was in great condition

Greens were good about average speed.fairways and tees were excellent.Enjoyed playing this course some very good holes. Still too expensive. Like the other courses buggies were very expensive

Don't play if you don't want a challenge. You will get blocked out by the trees but you can still make par...

Waiting to take shots due to slow play first round was frustrating,it improved the second round people seemed to struggle with the trees slowing things down. Some nice holes.

Loved it
