One of the harder courses in the Algarve and was no different this year! In good condition and some great looking holes. Well worth a visit.

R.B.H. Hesling 2025-09-13
The course is in good condition, some bunkers on the back holes are being reconditioned with larger machines. However, dit does not interfere with play. Slow play, the men‘s flight in front played scramble…..

Christine King 2025-09-13
First 9 holes good, last night not so good. very slow - it took 5.5 hours to play 18 holes. They did have 44 of a society which was causing the problem. Shop and staff and the drink we had after - very good, lovely friendly staff

great course in good shape, especially for that part of the year. greens all great to putt on, very fast and true. service good as always. only downside that the kitchen closed too early to have a bite after the round.

Amazing

Had a fantastic experience with this company, from booking rounds to renting clubs. The page offers ease of use and the customer service via WhatsApp messaging was fantastic, quick responses and helpful where needed. The clubs provided were fantastic and in great condition, not be mention affordable for our 5 day duration. The rounds booked were incredible, we had no faults. Would definitely recommend this company and will most definitely be using them again for our next trip

Good golf trip

Barney Toms 2025-06-14
Greens lovely, pace of play was ok, very windy. But enjoyable!

Iain Wallace 2025-05-10
Same as O’Connor, grass length patchy and as the star of the resort, I thought it should have been better presented. Greens good, great tactical challenge off the tee and approach shots are tricky but there are easier options when playing if you don’t want the risk. In its heyday I would say it was a better but it’s lacking investment.

Nicki Harrison 2025-04-24
It was my first time playing this course, and I enjoyed this challenging course. Will remember some of the bunkers.

Per Lokken 2025-04-23
Medium quality

Jeannot Mailhot 2025-04-16
Beaucoup de blind shot Très montagneux et le caddy master était plutôt évasif

Lauermann Andreas 2025-04-07
A challenging course. Needs more maintainance after the rainy winter

Roland Alistair Harrison 2025-03-30
It's a hard course for the High Hcap players but very nice and picturesque

Mr Herbert Keil 2025-03-29
Great Course, but in bad condition

Doris 2025-03-18
A very special course, very challenging and interesting holes. Great views especially on the second nine holes. Very busy. The heavy rain has taken its toll on the course as on all others as well.

Gavin Simmons 2025-03-11
Challenging golf course with some great views on the back 9 Cub house very good but food and drinks are expensive

Gerald Nuessel 2025-03-07
Sollte man gespielt haben, sehr herausfordernde back 9, leider zu viele Spieler am Platz und kein Ranger

Ewout Wijkhuizen 2025-02-08
Great course

Franz Miltner 2025-02-06
Nice course, not very well taken care, friendly staff.Buggy necessary. Very much overpaid.

Paul Arnold 2024-11-13
Too tough for the average golfer but still a very pleasant experience as we were paired with a couple of lovely British chaps . We prefer Christy O,Connor which we are playing again tomorrow

Franz Schautzer 2024-11-11
Not our favorit!! You have to use a buggy what we do not like, many holes are blind holes and the conditions are not at high level as the price!!

Andrew Johnson 2024-11-11
Interesting course in good condition. Pace of play was a little slow at 4:45, but didn’t seem slow - perhaps due to the beautiful views.

Michael Charles 2024-11-11
Friendly and helpful staff. Interesting course. Highly undulating and buggy only course.Tees not mown. Greens were true and fast. However pace of play was appalling. Once again far too many players on the golf course. Had to wait on every tee and no rhythm so unable to enjoy. Its obviously a management problem. Unable to finish the round due to slow play and lack of light. 1.10pm tee time should have been sufficient for 4.75 hours. The whole experience was ruined by the pace of play.

Denis Cadieux 2024-11-10
Nice

Glenn Parker 2024-10-28
Some areas of the course were lacking grass.

PHILIP LANDER 2024-10-21
The coarse is great but they need to marshal it better because it took five and half hours

Matt Brown 2024-10-19
A challenging test of golf with lots of strong holes.

Colin Davis 2024-10-19
Very slow 5 hour 20 minutes round

Lauermann Andreas 2024-10-07
Faldo is always worth to play. But the conditions after a dry summer are not so good. They are working on it.

Chris Lenzin 2024-09-30
Challenging golf. O‘Connor is the more „finished“ golf course of the 2. Faldo is entertaining and in „okay condition“.

Rebecca Binggeli 2024-09-24
No waiting on this course. Conditions were good, but could still be better.

Dean Leslie Chappell 2024-09-19
Golf course overbooked. Need more gaps between tee-times to avoid 5+ hour rounds. Course conditions were generally OK but looking very tired cosmetically. Slow service in clubhouse.

Guillaume Hentzgen 2024-09-18
Course was way better in the past, now a lot of works are not done, some bunkers looks like they have been never been maintained etc

Cameron Low 2024-08-23
The buggies were really annoying, cut out anywhere near the greens and are ridiculously slow. The tee boxes on half the greens are like teeing out of a bunker, overall quite dissapointed.

Gavin Louer 2024-08-12
Lovely Course

Gary Jenkins 2024-07-18
Very difficult and a real challenge.

Stuart Montgomery 2024-07-10
Course design will always be good but definite signs of neglect - grass around bunkers not trimmed, grass growing in bunkers, surrounds of greens very dry with little or no grass growth. Know both courses went through hard times with covid and water issues and still needs time and money spent to make the course worthy of their course designers names.

Michael Millership 2024-07-05
Great course very tough stay away if beginner

Richard Exton 2024-07-02
Slightly disappointed that we were paired up in a four ball with two members - we weren’t aware this was going to happen

Mark Parsons 2024-06-21
Played the Faldo course in June 24, found it to be a challenging layout, but very enjoyable. As a lower handicap golfer it was mostly fair and scorable, however the higher handicaps in our group struggled with many of the tougher holes. The course was in really good condition, the only issue on the day was the groups of holiday golfers before and after us who hit balls with us in range and rarely raked bunkers etc.

Stuart Leonard 2024-06-17
Very nice course; not easy at all; lots and lots of strategically placed bunkers; would expect no less from Faldo .

GEORGE LORIMER MANNERS ROMANES 2024-06-14
Nice course but a challenge and can be very slow

Daniel 2024-06-12
Best greens we have played on, very fast. Fairways in good condition, tee boxes need a lot of work. Bar and restaurant ok, customer service not overly friendly.

Jaime Garcia 2024-06-11
Boa. -**- Good.

Eamonn Ryan 2024-06-10
Tough course but very enjoyable experience. Will go back.

Gareth Toms 2024-06-09
The course was in very good condition, the fairways well kept and the greens excellent. A couple of tee boxes were a bit scruffy.

Martin Potter 2024-06-06
Good course

Anne Sharp 2024-06-04
A very long round - nearly 51/2 hours. Golfers in front could not play golf. Whilst a ranger was iut far too slow.

Christine Wehrle 2024-06-03
Wonderful place, but somebody in front of us with many Rangeballs , we took these balls in our buggy and left them there.

David McCormack 2024-05-22
I played with two members Steve from London and Roger from the US. Really nice guys who tried to guide me around the best they could. I struggled on the front 9, it was hard. But played much better on the back 9. Considering the traffic the Faldo course gets it was in great nick. Would strongly recommend it and ignore the bad comments on tripadvisor nonsense.

Matt Stubbs 2024-05-20
Challenging course which we enjoyed , course condition was good although greens a bit sandy

Brian Trenbirth 2024-05-13
Enjoyed the round on this very challenging course but I have to comment that it is far too difficult for the average golfer. Excellent condition.

marion romanes 2024-04-15
We don’t expect to pay this amount of money for a round of golf to take so long . It took over 5 and a half hours to complete the course as we had to wait at every hole . To many people given tee times

Louise jackson 2024-04-08
Have played this course a few times now and it doesn't disappoint . Challenging course , lots of different holes some elevated , lots of bunkers and very fast greens that make the course exciting to play . Hospitality as always very good . Pace of play was fine and value for money good .

Sabine Fettu Deschaud 2024-04-05
great but it was raining too much so we only played 9 holes

Jiri Huml 2024-04-02
tee times in 9min interval lead to fairly crowded course by beer drinking young Englishman mixed with local and visiting retired, so expect 5-6 hours per round. Marshall as well as starter are present, but not able to take any action to improve the pace of play. Course maintenance is poor, teeing areas too small for this number of players, so many of them are already in April without any grass. Course itself has challenging championship design, in particular under windy conditions. Overall this resort seems to be couple of years behind it’s best, including the oversized clubhouse.

Søren Rasmussen 2024-03-31
Tricky

David Stubbings 2024-03-29
Very busy course in need of a lot of talc slow round

Juha Virta 2024-03-24
Course was playing great , greens in good nick. little bit unlucky with weather. Service and recetion kind and everything worked to plan.

Lauermann Andreas 2024-03-14
It is always a challenge to play Faldo, but a very nice one. Course in good condition

Petteri Salminen 2024-03-06
A beautiful course and all in an excellent condition. Back 9 a challenging one but still lovely to play. A buggie needed dues to distances in between some holes. Friendliness of the staff just amazing. Will go back and play on that resort for sure.

Roderick Lagendijk 2024-02-12
Our teetime was delayed by a hour because of a competition ahead of us

Stephen Goodall 2024-01-22
Condition not the best, pass of play was ok.

Simon Begg 2024-01-18
Nice course. Bit wet underfoot and on fairways.

Marcel M. Hopman 2024-01-11
Second time Faldo. Difficult and challenging course. You need to play more then once to understand how to play. The best!

Marcel M. Hopman 2024-01-08
Faldo is the best. Faldo is a very challenging course with ondulated speedy greens. Each shot needs to be executed well.

Grossmann Annette 2024-01-04
Good Service,the Course was in a very good shape

Wouter van Kempen 2024-01-01
Amendoeira Faldo was a great experience! Not so easy to play, but a good challenge. Beautiful surroundings. As a birdwatcher I saw a group of Sint-Helena Fazantje. Very rare!!

BRUNO DE GIULIO 2023-12-31
Il campo è molto bello e impegnativo. I farways hanno molte pendenze e non mancano i bunkers. Greens veloci abbastanza grandi si solito molto ben difesi. -**- The course is very beautiful and challenging. The farways have many slopes and there is no shortage of bunkers. Fairly large fast greens are usually very well defended.

Deb Reynolds 2023-12-11
It took 5.5 hrs in a buggy to play the round. Whilst we enjoyed ourselves there we were waiting on every tee. It would appear that Faldo are allowing golfers on to the course without enough experience to deal with the difficulties of the test of golf. Maybe they should only allow golfers who can show a certificate of handicap with a maximum handicap limit.
