About Vale Do Lobo Royal Course
Style: Championship Parkland/Coastal | Length: 6,059m | Par: 72
The Vale do Lobo Royal Golf Course is a demanding test that showcases the best of Vale Do Lobo golf. Longer holes, water hazards, and elevated greens make it a more challenging layout than its sister course, The Ocean.
Originally based on designs by Sir Henry Cotton and later redeveloped by Rocky Roquemore, this par-72 course combines rolling fairways, pine trees, and scenic lakes to create a setting that’s as picturesque as it is strategic.
Highlights include the dramatic island-style green on the 9th and the famous 16th hole – one of Europe’s most photographed golf holes – which features a spectacular cliff-top carry over the Atlantic. Every round at the Royal Course offers a mix of beauty, precision, and pure golfing drama.

The clubhouse at Vale Do Lobo Royal Course provides everything golfers need for a perfect day on the course. From a fully stocked pro shop and professional academy facilities to an elegant restaurant and bar with panoramic views, it’s the ideal spot to relax before or after your round.
