on Sat, 18th Jun 2022 Fantastic service Great company for booking my golf through. Can always contact them and they are a very honest company. They even didn’t charge me for a time change when I moved a reservation from a twilight time to a normal tee time because the course didn’t charge them. This could have been an easy few euros to them but decided that their integrity is more important. I will always use Algarve golf.net when golfing in Portugal |

on Mon, 25th Jun 2018 Very professional and honest company Excellent service from this company. They couldn't do enough for me. Even when I rang to change a tee time to a more expensive slot, I was given a price of 60 euros which I accepted. Only to receive an email saying that the golf club had not charged them so they would not charge me. Very honest and great customer service. I will definitely be using them again and will recommend their service to other golfers I know. |

Great value for money course Wed, 24th Apr 2024 |
Lovely traditional course. Some truly great holes and great value for money. Course had been busy all day. We tee’d off at 4.15 as a 4 ball in a buggy and was finished by 7.25. Speed of play on course was much quicker than the other courses. |

Stunning. Must play once Tue, 23rd Apr 2024 |
You have to play here once even if just for the clubhouse and views. You won’t find a course with more spectacular views. Greens were running at 11 on the stimp. Crazy front nine then back nine more forgiving. Plays much harder than its slope. I’m 3.4 and had to play off 1 on the yellows and got nowhere near my handicap but loved every minute |

Impressive golf club Sun, 21st Apr 2024 |
This is a better course than Royal in my opinion. The 9th is stunning and the back nine has several holes by the sea. Course was in great condition |

Course in perfect condition Sat, 20th Apr 2024 |
Pinhal was in amazing condition everywhere. Great driving range and greens were fast. My favourite Vilamoura course. |

Quality course and service. I think the nines should be reversed so you can use the putting green first |

Great course Fri, 17th Jun 2022 |
Wonderful experience on a long but fair course. We played off the back tees and the slope gave me 4 extra shots. The course had plenty of water but you could avoid. We both played to our handicap. 5.5 |

Nice course and club but slow play Thu, 16th Jun 2022 |
Always in good condition but pace of play was incredibly slow. We were the first twilight group and were 100 mins behind the last tee time. We played the first 7 holes in 1 hour and it took 3 hours to play the last 11 holes. So a 5-5.5 hour round pace. Not good enough |

A lot of short insignificant holes even off the back tees, but it has 4-5 great holes and one of the best par 3’s you will ever play. 16th is worth the green fee alone. 235 yards into a wind over the beach. Par 3’s don’t get harder that that |

It may be the cheapest, but not the worst course Fri, 22nd Jun 2018 |
Very challenging course with bunkers and water everywhere. If you are offline, unlike the other Vilamoura courses you are severely punished. Greens were good and we tee d of at 8.24. We had a buggy and whizzed around in under 3 hours. |

Nice course but long distances between tees Thu, 21st Jun 2018 |
This is the most forgiving of all the Vilamoura Dom Pedro courses. Even though it is a lot shorter than the other courses, you really do need a buggy as there are huge walks between green and tees. Great greens and a nice friendly golf course. Not too taxing. |

Course condition disappointing compared to others Wed, 20th Jun 2018 |
I was really looking forward to playing this beautiful course again. The clubhouse is stunning. The views are also pretty, however the course was a bit scruffy. For the amount of money they charge to play this course compared to the other Dom Pedro Vilamoura courses. I found it strange that this course was by far in the worst condition with cracks in fairways and greens not in great condition either. |

Lovely course Tue, 19th Jun 2018 |
Some people won t like the fact that the course is split up into little groups of holes in between villas. However, we did. The layout of the holes was excellent and the views of the lovely villas was really nice. You ideally need a buggy though due to long distances between greens and tees. |
