Salgados Golf Course

I love this course. Can’t get out of trouble here by hitting a long drive. Water everywhere. Greens here weren’t as good as last year due to disease but still true and quick

Always in enjoy this course

dirty

Great course but I never want to see water again!

Very interesting and pleasant course

Enjoyed the course

This course is attached to the hotel complex but is still a good walk with clubs so make sure you take your bag strap as there is no transport from the complex. It seemed to us they were cramming as many on the course as they possibly could. It was absolutely rammed which made getting any rythmn going impossible. Everyone was waiting for everyone and because there is so much water people were taking 2 off the tee if they put the first one in ( and a lot were doing this especially our group ! ) The Fairways were better than the Morgado and Alamos but they had the same problems with the greens. The upside was it only took us 10 mins to get back to the hotel complex instead of the 90 mins wait at the other 2😁

The best of the three we played

Superb course on a flat piece of land so easy to walk. Very tight holes but with some course management it’s ok for a high handicap golfer. Every hole had water in play or OOB..😂😂 The group behind lost 30 balls between them in 6 holes and walked off after 9 holes but they were laughing about it.. Again if you played sensibly and didn’t hit driver consistently it was playable.

Really nicely set up course, with absolutely loads of water on virtually every hole. Good challenge and overall welcoming and well set up course, would definitely paly again even though I lost 6 balls!!

Loved this course despite the abundance of water. Again busy but marshalls kept play moving along. Length of some holes challenging for ladies, but overall a most enjoyable round.

Excellent got everything bang on.

This was by far the best golf course we played! Water coming into play on 17 of the 18 holes (lost at least 4 balls) stunning setting and in fantastic condition! If your going to play golf in Portugal I highly recommend you play Salgados!!

Excellent course. Well maintained and very picturesque. Plenty of water so accuracy was the name of the game.

Very demanding from the tee, fairways and water!! No rough just water!! Take plenty of balls!! Great though!!

16 holes with water.we never lost a ball! very enjoyable.made u think a lotlay up or go for it?

Excellent course. Apart from some slow play at times.

Course was good with challenging holes, especially in the wind...note, it was windy for all of our early tee times. Members told me its always windy early morning. I will be playing there again. Our rounds were slow, more due to the fact that we were a 2 and 3 ball....probably.

Lots of water on this course which makes it difficult

Everyone finished this course saying "THe nicest course we have played on". It has some really tough holes but it is beautiful and really well kept. Highly recommended

Long and frustrating

Good course se but far too many golfers let on therefore making a 4 ball round in buggies 5 hours.

Shot 43 points, loved it

Best of the 3 we thought. Lots of water so quite tricky but good fun and and again nice and green and greens in good condition. Same group as alamos (Nau) and so different which is strange to me.

When we played it was very windy. Quite common apparently as it’s near the coast and it has plenty of water hazards. So be prepared to lose some golf balls!

A good challenge , especially off the back tees. plenty of water to be aware of.

Course was in poor condition and the greens were terrible and undergoing major remedial work meaning it was like putting on a beach!! Course was also extremely slow a 5 hour round with far to many people being on course at one time

The course was generally in good condition. Though the greens had been hollow tined and sanded last week, they played fast and true. Lots of water!

Love this course... the only thing I don't love is that we have a fight every time to be able to go round as a pair rather than having to join up with people we don't know to make a foursome. But still keep coming back and will continue to do so.

The course itself was not tough, but the water was really weird.......it ate golf balls!!!!

This was the first time I played the course. The water was the big challenge. However I came second and only put two balls in the water. I think for our party it is too demanding. But I enjoyed the experience. The transfer form Salgados back to the hotel was 25 mins late.

This is a lovely course very picturesque with lots of water, would definitely recommend this course and will be going there again.

Course was very challenging, although still enjoyable. You need to be straight and manage the course or you'll need a lot of golf balls. We flowed well the first day but had a group of two four balls in front who must of thought they were playing the Masters and were really slow (not the courses fault)although perhaps more can be done to encourage groups to keep up with this in front. Overall a great time.

We found the course very difficult especially starting from the tenth tee which gave us the most difficult holes first. The course marshall was very annoying telling us to speed up. We finished in three hours fifty mins which is less than the target time. He upset everyone for no reason

Lovely course probably my favourite, lots of water and very pretty. Was challenging but as long as you were straight could reach most in regulation.

1st time here we would all like to play it again as it is a thinking golfers course not just a blast up fairway lots of water hence nickname water park worst pint of beer here otherwise fabulous.

no complaints wellrun golf course

A lot of water on this course so you have to be very accurate,the course itself is like a nature reserve a fabulous setting and well worth a visit.

Lovely course great and helpful staff would recommend to anyone take some golf balls though as you will lose a few but no complaints at all. well run club house friendly staff in the golf shop who were very polite helpful and not rude and ignorant like at the morgado the previous day thank you salgados golf course a great day was had by us all

The golf course was in good condition. Challenging with lots of water (especially if your balls are like magnets to water like mine!) The staff were very friendly and helpful. The club house was great.

Very enjoyable experience

Lots of water making golf a difficult chalenge

Course in great condition. Greens good. Facilities everything that Morgado was not. Top quality. Visiting golfers beware water! Lots of it on nearly every fairway.

Water on every hole, greens fast.

Very different from the ones we play normally due to many water hazards. Nice course, intersting to play and easy to walk.

Course was great, greens were immaculate, very fast. Lots of water around the course, which makes this course quite difficult. You need to be a straight hitter on a lot of the holes, especially the 6th! Took us around 5.5 hours to get round which was pretty slow, but you can't expect much more when the course is full. Couldn't complain about any of it.

This course is more of a "fun" course than a serious golfer's course. With some very tight holes, water everywhere and a strong wind blowing from the Atlantic it's difficult not to lose golf balls. The course was in good condition though and both of our rounds were enjoyable. Definitely a course to play on a golfing trip!

A lot of water ,have to hit fairways a testing course overall

Fun course. Still suffering a bit from winter. Greens good although loads of unrepaired pitch marks. Water an obstacle but not impossible. Not too long so fair for a wide variety of golfers.

A nice layout with good greens and plenty of grass. Watch out for the big irritable goose on the first tee ! The downsides for this course is that there is a lot of water on this course (not good for high handicappers)and is rather flat.

Cannot really make a proper assessment because of really extreme gale type wind, but course looked in good condition.

Lots of water! but still a good challenge, we played it after heavy rain so lots of casual water and flooded bunkers which slowed things down.

As a two ball, we were stuck between 4 balls, although a lady should have joined us apparently, so this was a little frustrating. Otherwise good course, fairly flat with lots of water.

How much water... Nearly every hole water comes into play, coupled with a very strong wind made it a heck of challenging day's golf. The course layout is very interesting and despite it being flat you don't get bored due to the excellent course design. The course was busy but it was rarely dangerous with stray balls due to the layout.

Really enjoyed this course lots of water and very tight

Water, water everywhere and all got massive magnets to attract my golf balls

Much improved course. A difficult test but an enjoyable challenge. Excellent weather helped.

lots of water and tight in places. Greens were the best all week and the course was the most enjoyable all be it the hardest. No range was a shame but was gorgeous

A much better course than the Morgado and Alamos. This was partly because the grass was not Bermuda and had not browned, but also because the holes were more interesting and more challenging.

The main challenge on this course is the water hazards. The greens were not in great condition, lumpy and uneven in places making putting a bit of a lottery.

Technical course with lots of water!

Very difficult with no real escape for a wayward shot.

Very tight difficult driving on all holes lots of water

This course is the busy of the 3 and due to the volume of players can take 30-45 mins longer to play . This is partly due to the difficulty ,a few holes with water and more rough ,Bermuda grass around the greens ,difficult to chip out of and sometimes difficult to find your balls.Greens are in good condition and a challenge to read .my favourite course out of the 3.

A great test of golf . I’ve rated it as HARD ‼️Mainly because of the amount of water all over the course . If you have a wide ‘slice’ or ‘hook’ you will be in trouble ( usually wet ) . But the Fairways are wide and a score is attainable for any handicap golfer . Again , good Fairways , Greens and bunkers .

Very nice course but difficult.

Lovely course had great viwes and great to have people selling cold drinks on the course and also the other causes the stuard chased the slow players

Enjoyed but very slow too many players

Having been appraised of a potential buggy availability problem (refer Morgado review),this dilemma was resolved through the kind intervention of the Salgados Dunas Suites reception staff. However, on arrival at the course , I noted that other groups were not so lucky and were faced with walking the course on a very warm day. Otherwise the course was enjoyable and met with expectations .

Interesting course not as easy as it looked with some tight holes. There were tricky areas where water would play a part of your game. I would say it was the harder of the three courses.

Wow! If you like courses with water then this is the one for you. It’s everywhere. Flat course so walkable. A little gem but very very busy.

Unfortunately this was a particularly long day as the four ball in front of us were very very new to the game of golf. The ranger did his best to hurry them along as it meant a big backlog of players anxious to start their game.

There is insane amount of water that made it difficult, but loved the course.

Booking groups of 1 and 10 is not good,course awful slow and backed up,just looking to get as many people out and as much money as they can , very disappointed

A very nice course one that all abilities will enjoy

Water, water everywhere , a real test and a pleasure to play. I hope to return.

Staff brilliant

14 holes with water on this course if you can keep out of it you'll score well out of 18 players we managed to cut quite a few handicaps.

Accuracy needed off the tees with there being a lot of water hazards

first class some tight holes but some were you could let loose with the driver

condition of the course was brilliant, credit to the green keepers

My caddy tip: "It is key to make sure the ball is in place." 

Favourite holes: All holes were challenging due to the water around so you need to be straight down the fairways.

Favourite holes: 1 & 3 & 17 position your drives

Favourite holes: 8th as got a hole in one.

First day back to work unfortunately after a fantastic break at Salgados. Firstly the golf course was in great condition considering the amount of rain that had fell the previous week, and was very challenging with water hazards at 17 of the 18 holes, which I found a lot of fun to tackle but some of my playing partners found next to impossible to get the better of.
