Algarve Golfcourse of the Week

Vale da Pinta Golfcourse

Lets face it, few of us can drive the ball 300 yards and reach the remaining 145 yards with a pitching wedge. This is why Vale da Pinta is such an enjoyable golf

experience. It is all about strategy and less about length. Playing the course for a second time will help you shoot lower scores as the course does have a number of blind shots. For those wanting to play without a buggy there are a few hilly walks to get from green to tee and the walk back to the clubhouse from the 18th will

test your fitness. The course is in magnificent condition and the competitive greenfee makes it a popular venue with many. We suggest you book your teetime as soon as possible. You may consider staying in one of the associated

4* hotels or apartments owned by Pestana.

Algarve Golfcourse of the Week

Vila Sol Golf Resort

Vila Sol recently taken over by the Pestana group offers a tough golf challenge.

The narrow tree-lined fairways put a premium on straight drives. Once you have found the fairway you have a chance of a decent score. The course offers great variation as each hole asks a different approach. The par 3's from the yellow tees play from a similar length of 175 yards.

The course has 27 holes but since the new Pestana management has taken over they have reinstated the original 18 holes as the proper Vila Sol golfcourse and the "Prestige" 9 hole loop is now the Academy course. Still an excellent 9 holes of golf and if you have difficulties getting your preferred teetime start on hole 19 and play from the 1st tee for your second 9.

Greenfees start from € 65.00 per person including a shared buggy.
