Oceanico Millennium Golfcourse

I would regard the Millennium Golfcourse in Vilamoura the ideal warm up course if you are planning to come out to the Algarve in Portugal, to play several rounds of golf. No golfcourse is easy but with few hazards even fewer water hazards this course will allow you to post a score close to your handicap while getting used to the Algarve conditions. The greens will vary depending on the season.
During the spring,summer and autumn months they will be quick but to allow for the damper conditions during the months of December, January and February they are a good bit slower.
The first hole has an out of bounds on the right so whatever you do, don't let the first tee nerves
take over and start with a slice! The most scenic part of the course are holes 3 through 7 but they also include three of the toughest holes. So don't get to hard on yourself if you used up a few extra shots as the back nine will give you the chance to stay in touch with your handicap. Apart from a tricky blind shot on 16 all other holes play fair.
