Vale do Lobo Ocean

The Vale do Lobo Ocean Course is made up of two of the original 9-hole golf courses located in the Algarve designed by Sir Henry Cotton. Both feature undulating fairways running alongside the nature reserve before crossing toward the Ocean. Before leading gently down to the shores of the Atlantic. The course's 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 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."

For golf breaks Portugal wide, few venues match the tremendous golf course and fantastic facilities available here. 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 distances between greens and tees can be lengthy, so a buggy is perhaps the best option. Besides that, there is nothing to dislike about this golf course, and it is highly recommended for players of all abilities.
