Millennium Vilamoura

Where to stay: Compare Vilamoura Garden Hotel for a smaller hotel base, or Vila Galé Ampalius for beach access and evenings within walking distance of the marina.

Millennium Vilamoura Golf Course

Millennium combines open holes with tighter stretches through the pines, giving golfers a varied round without changing courses. It is worth considering for a first Vilamoura golf break, particularly when you want to combine it with neighbouring Laguna.

Opened in 2000, the par-72 layout was developed by Martin Hawtree, bringing together nine new holes and a refurbished nine from the former 27-hole Laguna course. The result is a course where the demands change as you move between wooded and more open ground.

What Is Millennium Like to Play?

The tree-lined section asks for accurate positioning, while the more open holes provide different choices from the tee. Bunkers and water still influence the round, so an inviting fairway should not be mistaken for a hole without risk.

• Use the tighter holes to prioritise a clear approach over distance.
• Check bunker positions before attacking the more open fairways.
• Plan the closing holes carefully, with water affecting both the 17th and 18th.

We recommend Millennium for groups who want variety within one round. Players with different handicaps can discuss suitable tees when booking, while stronger golfers can weigh up where an aggressive line offers a worthwhile reward.

Clubhouse and After-Golf Plans

Millennium shares its clubhouse with Laguna, including a terrace overlooking the closing holes. If you plan to stay for lunch after your round, make sure your return transfer allows enough time.

Which Courses Pair Well with Millennium?

Laguna is a natural partner for a two-round break, adding a more open landscape and prominent water hazards. Include Pinhal for another parkland challenge, or request an Old Course Vilamoura upgrade for a premium addition.
