Vale do Lobo Royal
The course that has combined existing holes from the original Vale do Lobo course and some special interesting new holes. The layout of the course is skilful with a mixture of challenges slowly building up to a finally on the eighteenth. The famous par-3 "seventh hole" from the old days is now the spectacular sixteenth on this new course. The closing eighteenth is a tricky hole on which to finish, with its narrow fairway and a deceptive green. The immaculately manicured Royal course offers players of all abilities unrivalled variety and quality. Along with the neighbouring Ocean course, it enjoys an unparalleled natural setting with stunning views over the Atlantic, and it features some of the most spectacular holes on the Algarve. The cliff top par 3 16th is the most photographed hole in Europe.
Vale do Lobo Ocean
The name of this course is appropriately suggesting is enviable location. As an older golf course it had a strong influence in placing the Algarve as a destination in the golfing world. The fairways have a tendency to be narrow and accuracy is imperative when playing. The holes wander through pine trees with wonderful views of the sea between the homes lining the sides of the fairways. Some of the holes take you along the cliff top with the blue Atlantic sea as the backdrop. Though perhaps not quite in the same class as the neighbouring Royal course, the Ocean course at Vale do Lobo is still one of the best in the Algarve. Both courses enjoy an unparalleled natural setting with stunning views over the Atlantic. The Ocean course meanders through a pine forest before arriving at the ocean holes, which are an absolute delight but become very difficult in windy conditions. This is an excellent layout that provides a real challenge.
