The Old Course - Vilamoura |
Vilamoura Old Course was inaugurated in 1969. It is laid over and around gentle
sloping hills with tree lined fairways, and poses quite a stern test. Host to
the Portuguese Open (1970, 1979,) a golfer playing well will find it delightful.
* Rated Number 2 in Portugal by Golf Digest Magazine (USA), April 2005,
October 2003
Often described as the Grande Dame of Algarve courses, it meanders throughout impressive pinetrees - the principal hazard - over gently undulating natural terrain. Although it opened in 1969, the course was completely renovated and modernised 27 years later although no major changes were made to the magnificent layout.
In addition to raising the Vilamoura Old Course to new heights of quality, an attractive new clubhouse and adjacent putting green were also built at that time. As with all Vilamoura courses, environmental protection practices are strictly adhered to by means of detailed management systems in line with guidelines established by ISO 14001 standards, Green Globe and Committed to Green programmes. |
