Very challenging layout. Possibly too many water hazards on front 9 albeit we played on a windy day. Greens were ok, bunkers very compacted. Friendly staff,shame kitchen was closed.

Super course, 666 is the devils number and in the wind, it lived up to expectations. It gives you opportunities to attack but you have to be realistic and defend when faced with pond in front of the greens and trouble behind. It’s a very good test, and good value.

A fantastic challenge. Course was in fantastic condition. Greens were excellent. All in all a great day out and well worth the money.

Lovely game crap golf!

Bernd Weiss 2025-05-21
very friendly people. The course is in good condition, very interesting to play. I guess without the wind you would play more directly and get a higher score. But with the wind you have to think-Great!

Fabulous course but very testing

Jonathan Ashley Pickles 2025-05-09
Absolutely Love this course, but hear golfers complain that it’s too tough! When we play here we always play scramble drives, it just makes the game so much more enjoyable! Take in the views and just enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Will always keep coming back here, love it !

Went really well Looked after by club

Jonathan Ashley Pickles 2025-05-06
Always love coming back to take in the fantastic views from the terrace at the rear of the clubhouse. This course is a must for anyone coming to the Algarve !

Mikaela Ingberg 2025-05-05

First time on Quinta do Vale. Smart clubhouse, not large with good reception. Though a 'resort' style course not busy or crowded (late February). Starter said less busy than usual. We had a buggy which was a good idea as the back nine is pretty hilly. Recent rain so course in good condition. Greens really fast and excellent though they still would hold the ball and left small pitch marks. Loads of water hazards on the front nine (and the 18th). Both lateral and across the fairways. Lost four balls in the water, my partner six. We played the 54 tees, equivalent to Yellow/seniors. I was 16 over playing off 13, my partner 11 over playing off 18.

We were welcomed at reception and asked if we had played before, which we had several times. The staff in the bar were all great, as was our starter. The course was in good condition and the greens were very quick! Thoroughly enjoyed our day out. The staff at teatime were also very helpful.

Again a Fantastic experience from start to finish

Sean Verity 2024-12-23
Greeted by the pro who was very helpful. Explained the layout and directions. Course is a good test and greens were excellent. Tees also very good, fairways a little untidy in places.

Graham Mitton 2024-12-12
Quinta do Vale is getting better and better since it joined forces with Quinta Da Ria. The course condition was good and nice to see the new short game course nearly ready for action.

Richard Ashley 2024-11-19
This course is described as suitable for all standards of golfer, sorry this is not true. Some of the carries over water were ridiculous for a high handicap player. There is little room for errors as well. I know that I played just a few days after stormy weather but that is no excuse for the condition of the course which is poor in places. Greens are inconsistent. Very expensive for what it is.

Paul Gray 2024-11-13
Excellent course

Niall O Shea 2024-11-06
The quality of the golf course has noticeably improved since I last played it. I am not sure what changes have been made in the maintenance of the course but the course is in great condition.

Nicki Harrison 2024-11-06
Lot of water but good course enjoyed my game.

Gill Hawkes 2024-11-06
Lovely courses. Quite challenging if your not a long hitter

Remco Verheijden 2024-11-06
WOW, loverly course, perfect kept, real party!! honoust for the good golfplayer with tactics

Gareth Thompson 2024-10-28
Good variety with 6 par 3’s, 6 par 4’s and 6 par 5’s. Front 9 has water in play on nearly every hole. Back 9 is more in the hills. Service was very good in and around the clubhouse and lunch was nice too.

Steve Hall 2024-10-12
A fantastic, challenging course. Well with visiting Reception, course stewards and bar staff are so friendly and welcoming we booked another game

Euan Esslemont 2024-10-04
Had a fantastic time! Was unlucky though and got eaten alive for first 6 holes with mosquitos. Good service. Course played well. Although quite wet underfoot and in bunkers.

Sidney Stuart 2024-09-30
Course club house reception very good

Brendan Forde 2024-09-18
Very nice course challenging conditions

Jackie Robinson 2024-09-14
as usual millionaires golf not a soul in site apart from one guy on his own who we let through.

Reinoud van Haare Heijmeijer 2024-09-13
Very welcoming staff. Great course, especially back nine. Maintenance is more than reasonable

Andy Edwards 2024-07-09
Excellent and very tough golf course in good condition. Couldn't understand why it was so quiet there, but not going to complain about it

Gerard Kelly 2024-06-10
Welcome at reception friendly and efficient. Course in great condition. Facilities inc clubhouse great. Under 4 hours. ????

Tim Gale 2024-05-31
We really enjoy this course and we are regular visitors. The clubhouse is low key, simple, with friendly service, but may not be to everyone's taste.

Ronan Lewis 2024-05-26
Great staff, excellent service. Course average.

Paul Halewood 2024-05-13
Interesting course with lots is water on front nine holes. Definitely worth playing.

Tanja Kracht 2024-05-11
Beautiful Golfcourse, very tricky. We enjoyed the day there a lot.

Thor Hellenaes 2024-05-10
Better than expected.. Nice layout and quick greens.

Jonathan Ashley Pickles 2024-05-10
Love this course, we have been here at least 6 times, and it never disappoints.,Staff as always fantastic Thanks

John Farrall 2024-05-07
Not a hyped up or fashionable course, but definitely one of the best we have played in the Algarve (most of them) and certainly one of the toughest - some intimidating and long holes if your ball striking isn't on form. The clubhouse, service and even buggies all have class.

Jonathan Ashley Pickles 2024-05-07
So glad to see this course getting busy. We have played here for the last three years and it’s always in fantastic condition, loads of staff working on the course, it’s an absolute gem, love it!

Maruan El Dagma 2024-05-04
Great course well organized.

Andrew Warrington 2024-05-02
Very good

normal high standards clubhouse and course

Dave Parsons 2024-04-24
My second visit to Quinta do Vale on this trip & it was much more pleasant than the first. Staff were friendlier and helpful. Only downside is the amount of TLC that the course needs.

Dave Parsons 2024-04-15
I arrived at reception at 9.45 for a 10.00 tee time & was told that the other players were waiting for me on the tee. The receptionist told me she would bring me a trolley while I fetched my clubs. I didn't see her at reception when I had my clubs, so assumed the trolley would be taken to the 1st tee, but it wasn't, so a further delay. I still teed off before 10.00, but was not happy that I was made to feel that I was late. The course was not in great condition, especially the fairways. The new system of numbers instead of colours for the tee boxes seems pretty pointless. I'm playing there again soon, so I hope for a better experience.

Liz Hogarth 2024-04-14
A challenging but exciting course with lots of water. For a lot of the course you need to think about your shots which is often more important than distance.

Jackie Robinson 2024-04-12
Fantastic arranegement to book that day as it was empty and yet the day earlier had been full Well done!

Ian Godfrey 2024-04-11
Really enjoy the challenge of Quinta do Vale. The course was in good condition, and the only negatives are the distance and the price a little on the high side. But I like Quinta do Vale to be one of the regular venues.

Aidan Lavender 2024-03-23
This is a tough course but with varied tee options. First nine flat with lots of water and difficult to judge carries. Back nine on hilly land but easier to see where you are going. Greens in very good condition - fairways and surrounds not as good.

Randall Nunley 2024-03-10
Staff is great in all aspects from arriving and checking in to checking out of the bar! Layout of the course is very good and challenging! The drawback is the fairways are bare in many spots and they may have some drainage issues from rain leaving a soggy course.

Richard Shaw 2024-03-06
Great fun

Barclay Douglas 2024-03-02
Buildings and the course could benefit from some money being spent on tidying up. New buggies were impressive, but was that they best way to create a better impression ?

jackie robinson 2024-01-01
A bit crowded and slow first time ever! Course in good order
