Dom Pedro Golf - Old Course

Oh what a great course !
We were welcomed by "Ana", with the best welcome we have ever received in our 10+ years of golfing on the Algarve. So polite and so professional. Pre golf practice facilities are superb. There is a "proper" starter, ( he pulled up people in front of us on dress code!)
The course itself was an absolute pleasure, everything you want, well paced and consistent greens, great well manicured tee boxes, and holes with both elevation change and some difficult to navigate around well placed trees.
A return for our group is assured !

We decided to give the Dom Pedro Old Course in Vilamoura another chance, our previous experience had been disappointing due to the fact that from the back tee’s there were several overhanging tree’s that had not been maintained properly and therefore blocked your ability to play the hole properly. However, on this occasion our decision to go back to the Old Course proved a good one. We were greeted by friendly staff and an efficient starter, who noticed we might catch the group in front quite quickly due to them being beginners, and immediately informed the course marshal to ensure we were kept moving. The course was in good condition and the greens running pure. It is a testing layout which will challenge your shot making and accuracy off the tee, but will also offer plentiful scoring opportunities if you can position your ball in the right places! All in all an enjoyable Saturday morning.
