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.
