The Vale do Lobo Ocean Course is made up of the two of the original 9-hole golf courses in the Algarve designed by Sir Henry Cotton. Both feature undulating fairways running alongside the nature reserve, before crossing down towards the Ocean. Before leading gently down to the shores of the Atlantic. The course three best holes are in the back nine with the two par 4's of the 11th and 14th and the 15th par 3 running alongside the beach. Judged by many as the easier of the two courses, the Ocean course is another example of quality championship golf at its very best.
"The Vale do Lobo Royal and the Ocean are two great courses. On the Royal, you have to hit the ball straight - you’re going to be in trouble if you don’t. The Ocean is different, it forces you to shape more shots, and I really enjoy that."

In addition to the tremendous golf course, there are some fantastic facilities available at the venue. The clubhouse is superb, in addition to a pro-shop, well-equipped fitness centre, and practice facilities. They say you get what you pay for and that phrase certainly rings true at Vale do Lobo Royal Course. Some of the distances between greens and tees can be lengthy, so a buggy is perhaps the best option. Other than that, there is nothing to dislike about this golf course, and it comes highly recommended, for players of all abilities.
