Best Golf Courses in Vilamoura

True to its name, the Dom Pedro Golf Old Course is one of the oldest golf courses in Vilamoura. Originally designed by Frank Pennink in 1969, the course features lush, tree-lined fairways and a traditional parkland style. It’s a firm favourite among those golfers who appreciate traditional golf course design, challenging play and picturesque scenery. 

The Dom Pedro Millennium Golf Course in Vilamoura is a standout gem in the Algarve. Opened in 2000, this par-72 course combines newly designed holes with a refurbished 9 from the original Laguna course, offering a diverse and engaging layout. Enhanced by scenic lakes and thoughtful design, the Millennium Course is a must-play course that solidifies Vilamoura’s reputation as one of Europe’s premier golf spots. 

Like the Old Course, Dom Pedro Pinhal Golf Course was originally designed by Frank Pennink and later refined by Robert Trent Jones Sr. This par-72 course is known for its tree-lined fairways, where the distinctive Umbrella and Atlantic pines present an additional challenge. One of the most admired aspects of Dom Pedro Pinhal is the recently renovated club house that boasts panoramic views over the driving range and practice facilities.
