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.

Algarve Golfcourse of the Week









Palmares Golfcourse ( Lagos )









The links holes along the beach make the course lay out unique and the great views are a constant highlight. Imagine playing the best links of Scotland, Wales, Ireland and England in beautiful weather and you get some idea of what it will be like to play Palmares golfcourse.

It requires a long drives on some holes and then again leave this club in the bag if you want

to avoid some of the hazards. The wind direction plays an inportant part when you play this golfcourse. The course has been redesigned and now offers 27 spectacular links type golf.

An absolute must play course!
