Silves Golf Course

Ken MacDonald 2026-02-12

Despite all the rain during January and February so far, the course is holding up well, only a few areas where the rain has collected. The greens are as good as they normally are, a credit to the greens staff.

Ron Goudreau 2026-01-22

Course holds up well when wet. Very long par fives and par threes. Course conditions were fair.

Ken MacDonald 2026-01-19

All good on the golf course and at reception. It would help if the overspill (additional) car parking areas were improved, as the surfaces are very poor. These areas have been poor for many years, and I would have thought Pestana would have upgraded the surfaces, as the areas in question, are used EVERY day.

Terry Dickinson 2025-12-31

I thought the course was in good condition considering the recent weather.

Marc Wathelet 2025-12-20

Course in OK condition for the season. Pace of play slow. 1st flight of Chez Carlos delaying all the others. It is critical that some thought is given to this ongoing issue (not particular to Chez Carlos). Long term this may dissuade people to play.

Terry Dickinson 2025-12-20

I thought for the time of year the course was in good condition but some greens a bit bobbly

Dave Sheehan 2025-10-24

Very good course, excellent service.

Mark Lowe 2025-10-21

Course in good condition , limited facilities and no buggies , but we enjoyed the round

Liam Kearney 2025-10-17

We enjoyed Silves. The course was in good order and our early tee time meant we got back to our hotel in good time to freshen up and have a good meal before our airport minibus at 05.00.

David Haywood  2025-10-16

Silves is one of our favourites, very varied holes, the terrain helps to create this situation. A pleasure to play!

Mike Redfern 2025-10-13

Silves is in great condition

Carla Hocken 2025-10-06

It was a beautiful day on the course and we had a great time!

Martin Punch 2025-09-16

Excellent Course, Excellent Value, Excellent Clubhouse.

Betty Sworowski 2025-09-15

A very playable course. Only 2.1/2 hours one of the rounds in a buggy - perfect!

Irma Siegers 2025-09-11

A perfect golf course! Enjoyed playing it.

Ian Godfrey 2025-09-11

I like the Silves course a lot. The only thing that lets it down is the lack of practice facilities like a range or nets and the practice putting green has been taken away.

Irma Siegers 2025-09-10

A perfect golf course! Enjoyed playing it.

Terry Dickinson 2025-09-10

I enjoyed the course & clubhouse - pity no practice putting green or range.

Declan Cahill 2025-09-06

Lovely Golf course and very friendly staff

Erik Lolcama 2025-08-23

Great course, one of my favourites in the Algarve. And especially the lady in the halfwayhouse with great coffee and sandwiches makes it always a pleasant experience.

Peter Rzeskiewicz 2025-08-16

Most enjoyable

Michael 2025-08-08

Fantastic weather to play a course in great condition.

Nils Taavo 2025-08-04

Great value for money

Ian Lyall 2025-06-29

Liked the course and it was quiet. Suited us as high handicappers but I think it would be a challenge for all. Great afternoon out with the summer special. Staff were very friendly and we enjoyed the course. Very suitable for us.

Michael 2025-06-25

Fun course to play.

Philip Rush 2025-06-17

Fantastic

Roger Moyse 2025-06-10

Excellent course and only fault was lack of draught beer in club house !

Sean Rynne 2025-06-02

Really love this course, challenging but fair, always a great days golf

Terence White 2025-06-01

Hello Jorge, just had my update regarding Silves golf course, the greens were in very good condition but the fairways and the course in general were very poor and not one that we will play next year. I'll just add the transfers were once again 10/10

Weyens 2025-05-28

Beau parcours mais pas de practice.

Simon Bussell 2025-05-12

This was the first time we played at Silves and we really enjoyed our round of golf there. The course had good variety and interest for our mixed capability group. And we were 'tee to green' without being held up pretty much the whole way round. We will definitely be back.

Irma Siegers 2025-05-10

Very good golf course, we liked to play there!

Andrew Warrington 2025-05-08

Very good

Irma Siegers 2025-05-07

Very good golf course, we liked to play there!

Marc Dellow 2025-05-07

Great Course excellent condition throughout. A pleasure to play.

vesa pakarinen 2025-04-23

Caddiemaster was nice, as well as restaurant personnel. The course was in good condition and nice views.

Brian Dalton 2025-04-18

The fairways were very in poor condition, they need to be improved

Jackie Robinson 2025-04-06

It rained! Got very wet but course lovely

John Fitzgerald 2025-04-03

Surprised by how enjoyable Silves was as it's not that high up on review lists . Nice course , good variety of holes .Not overly long so perfect for holiday golf- but hilly in spots- mostly from green to following tee, so buggy recomended

Mr Herbert Keil 2025-03-29

Nice tricki course

Marion romanes 2025-03-19

Pace of play very good and enjoyed your new clubhouse and facilities and look forward to returning

Peter Bakx 2025-03-05

Prachtige baan met veel variatie en snelle greens. Ook de fairways lagen er uitstekend bij.

David McKee 2025-03-04

Tough course in great condition.

Ken MacDonald 2025-03-03

A lot of Tees need to be repaired, as most of them are very worn.

Paul Anderson 2025-03-03

Silves is one of our favourite courses in the Algarve. It doesn't have spectacular views, or particularly outstanding holes, but just a relatively open course which can be enjoyed by golfers of all abilities. Always in good condition with friendly staff. Only minor complaint is the pace of play was quite slow which I attributed to a few groups of older and higher handicap golfers in the 4-ball groups ahead of our 2-ball.

Michael 2025-03-02

Great weather, great course

Richard O'Connor 2025-02-21

All good

Martin Punch 2025-02-04

Excellent Course in Great Condition with beautiful Scenery. Greens also in great condition. Very Enjoyable and Excellent Value in comparison to rates of Vilamoura Courses.

Ken MacDonald 2025-01-15

Some tee's are below their normal standard.

Bep Van Der Pas 2025-01-08

Lovely course

Cameron Milne 2025-01-08

Great day out nice people great course good golf well done Jim

GEORGE LORIMER MANNERS ROMANES 2024-11-27

Very good course. Managed to get away early and were never held up. Worth getting an early tee time !

Håkan Kallur 2024-11-24

Worth to visit again

Kishor Chauhan 2024-11-13

Great course however the t time was too late.

Tomasz Hamera 2024-11-10

Nice countryside course. Good for high and low handicappers. Reasonable facilities.

Chris Robertson 2024-10-24

Huge Improvement on last visit - much improved facilities - staff generally good - greens could be better

David Oliver 2024-10-19

This was the first time I had played Silves for several years. The last time, the new clubhouse was just being built. I must say I was surprised and disappointed by how tiny the changing rooms were. I don't suppose they'll do anything about it now they've finished the building, but they should have been much bigger. I was also surprised and disappointed by the lack of practice facilities. There is no driving range, just a net, and a very small practice putting green. The course was great though. We thoroughly enjoyed it although there are some steep climbs and a few long walks between greens and tees. I wish I had taken a buggy. The steep climb up the hill to 18th is a killer at the end of a round. I would definitely play Silves again.

Mark Gill 2024-10-15

Very good

Liam Kearney 2024-10-13

Silves course was not. In as good condition as previous times we played there. Fairways and greens were somewhat ‘overused’.

Michael 2024-10-07

Great course and good food.

Franz-Josef Hillebrandt 2024-10-01

It was o.k.

Randy Reynolds 2024-09-29

All good

Henk van Tunen 2024-09-27

We also played here in May this year. The course is good. In front of us they played slow. I think a lot of courses need a Marshall to advoid slow playing! Both times the reception and the bar were absoluut not friendly.

Betty Sworowski 2024-09-19

This is much quieter than Gramacho and much more playable. Although Gramacho is a prettier course.

Derek Laidlaw 2024-09-12

Would like to play it more to experience the layout

Kevin Burke 2024-08-29

Course presented in good condition, check in very efficient and friendly

Jason Presence 2024-08-27

Very pleased with the tee times and efficient service.

golf society 2024-08-12

Silves Golf Course may not be a championship course, but it offers a fantastic experience for the average golfer. With a variety of engaging holes set in a beautiful natural environment, it provides an enjoyable challenge. The unpretentious clubhouse, coupled with friendly service, ensures a delightful day out for all.

Paul Antony Chapman 2024-08-11

Transferred to Silves because Pinta was closed. Bit disappointed as Pinta is better. Overall satisfactory.

Michael 2024-08-01

Excellent course and beautiful weather

Andrea Grote 2024-07-31

Very nice people at the Rezeption. Very fine course. There was just a little menu, just Pizza and some other little Things. But I think, that it will be better in the future.

Andy Bryant 2024-07-30

Decent challenge of golf, especially on a windy day. Greens bobbly, not great condition, even some ant nests on some. Shame not worked whilst shut. Quiet and quick round

Stephen Oliver 2024-07-09

Very good , friendly staff and a good course with some testing holes.

Jon Pinder 2024-06-27

Very slow. Lovely holes. Some poor greens.

Joseph Keenan 2024-06-24

The booking was satisfactory as to what I would have expected

Paul Toner 2024-06-15

Course was fine. Decided to walk and this may have been a mistake as the are a few up and down holes.

Diana Kyle 2024-06-14

It is a lovely course and our only complaint would be regarding the bad patches on some of the greens.

Ian Godfrey 2024-06-13

Really liked Silves golf course, the price was good and the only downside was the condition of the greens was not great in places.

Paulo Forjaz 2024-06-12

Very pleasant experience and course in very good condition. Will definitely play again.

Robert Schneider 2024-06-12

Lovely course with great elevation change. Fairways are pretty dry but the greens were receptive and rolled fairly true.

Nigel Hough 2024-06-12

Lovely course layout making it challenging on the majority of holes. Being part of the Pestana group I would have hoped the condition would have been at same standard as Vila Sol but it isn’t that’s not to say it was bad just a bit more grooming and watering would further enhance it and bring it up to that standard. Wonderful signature hole 12th. Pretty good par 3 13th where one in our 4 ball managed a hole in 1. I’ve read about the nearby factory billowing out smoke which it did today but it didn’t affect visibility and had a lovely burning wood smell which was a bonus. Lovely clubhouse and veranda . Well organised society game by Jim who no doubt can do it with his eyes shut but credit to him. Acid test would I play Silves again - yes without any hesitation.

Steve Grant 2024-06-12

Greens disappointing, some slow, some patchy.

Michael 2024-06-09

Warm, sunny, great golf and beer afterwards.

Stewart Barnett 2024-06-08

The course was generally in a poorer condition than our previous visits. Lack of attentions to greens condition and general attention to detail . We still enjoyed our round in spite of this but the conditions could be partly due to lack of irrigation.

Henk Tunen 2024-06-05

I was here 4 years ago. Then I did not like it. No good conditions and not nice to play. That has been changed. The greens fairway, bunkers and even "the ninetheenth hole" were good and we had a lovely day.

Terence White 2024-05-23

Played for the 1st time and the 3 of us liked the course .

Andrew dickinson 2024-05-22

First time any of the group have played Silves and we all thought it was not in very good condition compared to the two courses we have already played.

Tanja Kracht 2024-05-21

Not really good. Not enough staff, the greens and fairways are not in a good condition.A the course is boring.

weyens 2024-05-19

Nice but no driving range available

Mike Beetlestone 2024-05-10

Enjoyable course with a couple of feature holes .

Petteri Salminen 2024-03-22

A very nice course in a good condition. Would play this one again.

Marit Lindøe 2024-03-10

Good experience

Pauline Hill 2024-03-04

One of our favourite courses in the Algarve based on layout, condition and value for money. Only complaint on our last visit was the starter allowed 5 separate 2-balls to play late afternoon rather than pairing groups in 4-balls so we had to wait at every hole as the pace of play was dictated by 4-balls 3 groups ahead.

David McKee 2024-03-03

A good test of golf.
