Dwight Rudderham
Good course. Condition was just ok.
Ken MacDonald
Course is in great condition, tees, fairways and green all great. The course needs some benches added at the tees, as it can be busy and it would be nice to be able to sit down while waiting to tee off.
Mark Boon
The staff were very accommodating again today. Finding us two te times on the Royal Course when we were booked at The Ocean due to the bad weather. We therefore got to play 18 holes. It was wet but it was to be expected. The greens were still good and we had a good round taking all the circumstances into account. We will be back.
Johannes Halper
Despite the heavy rain, the course was in very good condition
Matthew Coates
Greens a little battered but apart from that a great round had my our group
Alan Newton
Enjoyable day on the course
Marc Gouws
Great experience
Jon pinder
Fantastic course with the iconic par 3 16th. Lovely clubhouse bar.
James Tannett
Always play a round here and once again didn’t disappoint. Course in very good condition. Pace very good (4 ball just over 4 hours). 16th par 3 over the cliffs - worth playing just for that. Will play again.
Gordon Fleming
A challenging course in good condition, really enjoyed the round
Wim Niemans
Mooie baan met veel hoogteverschillen en uitdagende waterpartijen
Kevin Maguire
The course was in reasonably good condition apart from scuff marks on the greens I presume from people dragging their feet. The bunkers had just been filled with fresh sand which ment the ball plugged.
Dennis Hunt
Great course. Smooth effortless check in. Would have prefered NOT to have been paired with another player.
Sverre Phillip Olsen
The Buggy need more service before they are rented out. Heavy stearing conditions, The Tyres needs more air. The Trolleys/ electric trolleys has to be checked propely before they are rented out. SOme make a lot og noice when they are running. The golfcourse was very good.
Joe Hennelly
Lovely experience, beautiful course, friendly and professional staff
Gary Dykes
Very good course and clubhouse, ground staff extremely helpful.
Erika
Great course! It was easier to play than Ocean, many very forgiving Par 4's. The greens however, were left with many impact marks, surprised that so many players just leave them and a real shame because it makes the greens worse than they need to be.
Robin Booth
Excellent golf course, really well maintained. Friendly and efficient welcome. Despite the fact the resort and both courses were busy we were well looked after at check in and by the starter who got us away 15 minutes early. You really do need a buggy, so pleased we did, not a course to walk.
Lauermann Andreas
Great course
Dave Beevers
Excellent course easy on par with the old course & Victoria
Gavin Powell
What a course and resort. Fantastic course, tight fairways and stunning scenery really enjoyed.
Thomas Holley
Design of the holes is very nice to play.
However you feel more in down town, than on a golf course.
At the moment al lot of contruction of even more villas.
You even have to walk across public streets with your trolley :-)
Maintenance of fairways, greens and bunkers was very good,
but for us, the fairway was nearly on first cut hight...
2nd 9 is a bit more quiet..the signature hole 16 is cool, but no more.
For us, Vale do Lobo has a big name, but is far behind ohter courses here in Algarve.
Robert Gordon
Amazing course and staff
Steve Richmond
As with the Ocean, one of our "go to" courses in the Algarve. Superb clubhouse and facilities, wonderful fair but challenging courses, in excellent condition, set in stunning locations. New members to our party playing these for the first time were equally impressed.
Andrew Bligh
We had the first tee time at 7:10am but the coffee shop was not open at 7am as expected, slightly frustrating. The course is great and in good condition.
Euan Esslemont
Course in great condition. Greens good. Service good.
Simon Reece
Superb. Hard to choose the better between Ocean and Royal course, but perhaps just for the iconic 16th Royal gets my vote. Great day, course was in great condition, if only my game was as good as!
Christine King
Lovely, well kept course
MR ANTHONY FERGUSON
What a place! The Royal Golf Course is absolutely stunning – the condition is spot on from tee to green. Fairways like carpets, greens running true, and every hole just feels special. You can tell loads of care and pride goes into keeping it in such amazing shape.
And then there’s the clubhouse… wow. Pure class! It’s stylish, welcoming, and the perfect spot to relax after a round. Great food, great service, and a really friendly vibe that makes you want to stay for hours.
Honestly, it’s one of those courses that gives you the full package – top-class golf and a clubhouse to match. Can’t wait to come back!
John Mason
Very enjoyable day. Course / facilities excellent
Richard Johnston
The Royal Course was in great condition. Very pleased. Enjoyed it
Georges da Violante
Great as usual
DAVID ROSE
Great service, great price, fantastic round of golf!
Darren Howlett
Quality track we love it
Robin Lewis & Connor Lewis
We both enjoyed the course very much, it was set up just great, staff and facilities are first class, my favourite in Portugal,
Only disappointment, was the slow play but in a way I understand as we were a two ball behind four balls, other disappointment, was to see a lady member playing in front, driving her buggy all over the course the very wet fairways, even right up close to the greens, actually driving two wheels on one of them, this gets us visitors a bad name, so its a shame,
Dave Parker
1st time played but won't be the last. Difficult in places. Love the 16th!
Jeff McMaster
Superb,very efficient service
Anastasia Paterson
Easy to select and order golf clubs, helpful staff and the course was in wonderful conditions.
Gavin Tucker
Challenging but great course
Barney Toms
Good course, good pace of play and brilliant condition for June.
David Stubbings
Great course
Martin McDonagh
Course in great nick. Need to tell players to repair pitch marks on greens particularly 17 and 18. Spa needs a makeover it looked tired according to our wives
Richard Rosendahl
a lot of noisy construction going on, we missed a Marshall, as one Player delayed all flights because he filmed his play...terrible. the course was in excellent condition...
Stephanie
The course was in a prestine condition. Very friendly staff, all and all we had a great round.
John Laing
The ability to where you could take buggy was limited. My Garmin informed me I walked further than I would have than walking my own golf course. It made for a slow round having to park buggy and take a selection of clubs frequently
Ian Holland
All good - no issues at all
Cliff Morgan
Great course and some excellent views. Greens ran true and a reasonable pace.
James Page
Great course, a lot of construction both on and off course stopped me for giving 10 but still a fantastic course
Clive Mabbutt
Great course
Lauermann Andreas
A very good course with the famous hole 16
Kevin Harrington
Nice course
Mark Dowden
Great course and lovely off course facilities.
David Stubbings
Course in great condition
John Wellsbury
Very nice course. Cost of buggie is ridiculous. 3 golfers and the cost is by cart (total 2) vs cost per rider.
David Massie
Easy communication with the team. Arranged golf tee times and transfers for us. Everything went to plan, would highly recommend. Thank you
Ivo Heijster
Fantastisch uitdagende golfbaan, die werkelijk in een perfecte staat wordt onderhouden, en prachtige uitzichten biedt : kortom we hebben genoten van de eerste tot de laatste hole ????
Trevor Cibich
The most unique course I have ever played on. Spectacular views, magnificent holes, especially par threes over water and walking the streets to get to some tees. Most unique. Service excellent. Incredible array of golf attire, etc. We played early which helped as it is an extremely busy resort. Would certainly play it again. And finally the lounge/bar area was great.
Ken MacDonald
Great course, 18 good looking holes. Tees and greens in great condition. Sadly some golfers not replacing divots or repairing pitch marks.
Randy Schummer
Great golf courses. Buggies are a nuisance.
Horst Hubig
Toilettenanlagen auf dem Platz müssen unbedingt erneuert werden.
Gerald Nuessel
Perfekter Zustand, großartiger und sehr unterschiedlicher Platz
Peter Jeffery
Great course in really good condition with be back to play it Again
Joseph
Course in great condition especially the green ms
David Williams
Course is in very good condition and the staff helpful
Bryan Dick
Greens were in excellent condition. 16th hole worth the flight over from Scotland.
Theo van der Werf
Great course, friendly staff!
Neil Kimberley
As always a good course in good condition. Quite tight, but a really interesting mix of holes and very good greens. Cliff top par 3 is a stunning classic, don't miss it!
Paul Anderson
Course in very good condition - tees, fairways and greens. It was playing long as the fairways were very soft due to recent heavy rainfall and presumably routine watering. The staff were very friendly but one major complaint being Val do Lobo allow golfers to choose to play as a 2-ball; including the 2 players we were supposed to play as a 4-ball. Nonsense! This meant being held up on almost every hole on the front nine and then more so on the back nine as we ended up with 3 groups of 2-balls with none of them offering to team up. Urge VdL to review this policy to help ensure a steady pace of play.
Diana Shriver
Very nice golf course
Jo Maddams
Car parking was a bit limited. Also we couldn't take the buggies on a number of fairways
Franz Miltner
Everything OK, no reason to claim
Dorothea Nadler-Rudzinski
They are building houses along the course. It was noisy and dusty. They destroying nature.
Such a shame. We don’t play there anymore
Henk van Tunen
It is a difficult course, but the weather was good and we had a lovely day!
Clive Mabbutt
Golf arranged by Teetimes is simple & their service is excellent
Clive Mabbutt
Teetimes arranged all….great service & no problems! Except for my friends golf!! ????
Klaus Schmidt
Boring course layout inbetween ugly villas.
Marsha Saptenno
I played the Royal round, except for the hole 15 with the magnificent view, it wa s not something spectacular. Lot’s of construction work building houses and the toilets were used by the construction workers. (So too dirty to be used by ourselves)
Sam Bellamy
A shame, such poor conditioned greens. Every one either diseased or riddled (the most ever seen) with pitch marks. We were doing 5 each and not making an impact. It’s pointless spending your money here would argue. Course wise design is fair, not overly long but you must be straight. OOB/Houses in play a lot off the tee, so it’s not for the faint hearted in terms of slice/hook potential!
James Tannett
Play this course every time but today was the worse. The fairways although dry were very soft and they were hollow /aerating the fairways. Greens not the best either. Always enjoy the last few holes out by the beach but this now could be the last time. Ocean was far superior 3 days ago. For the price though, still worth the round.
Richard Scott
We enjoyed the Royal but the greens looked like they might have suffered from disease or over use.
Stephan Greve
Unfortunately game pace very slow, no marshall, no buggy bar
Marc Goumans
also nice course, some not to nice people behind us. On 18 hole in twilight they alost hit us 2 times, trying to finish. Quite dangerous, I left de fairway.
We did not use the restaurant after the bad expeience. Will never go there again.
Franz Schautzer
All the best!! Much better conditions then in the past!!
Michael Reed
Nice course greens not at there best
Tony Seaton
Course condition on some holes not great. Paths need attention.Slow play in front of us, limited marshalling to move people on. 2 groups on one 330 yard hole waiting on 3 4 balls ''taking their time'' in front bit disappointing as not experienced that before on this course.
Tomasz Hamera
Great course. Challenging holes. Fairways a little bit too damp due to recent rains. Greens ok. And of course famous hole nr 16 to take nice pictures.
Nigel Steers
Challenging course for 28 handicappers.Very well maintained. Love the buggies with GPS. which helps visual the hole, aids distance from hole A lot of water relative to what we are used to.o Slow play in front of us.
Denis Cadieux
The greens are not beutiful
Manser Alexandra
Nice course and layout
Greens need a little work
Hermine Datlinger
An absolutely wonderful course with perfect fairways and greens!
Søren Rasmussen
Always nice ????????
Lauermann Andreas
Fantastic course, not only Hole 16
Philip Kucharski
One of our favourites !
Matt Brown
Very good. Great facilities and lovely condition. Would benefit from a bigger driving range
Andrew Thorpe
We had a rain-affected round. Course was in great condition and held up to the weather well.
Westley Macey
Excellent service beautiful golf holes we have all enjoyed playing here again great track and would pretty much play both courses every time we holiday here
Trevor Turnbull
Course a little tired, needs work on greens
keith millichap
THE COURSE WAS VERY BUSY WITH SOME EXTREMELY SLOW PLAYERS
Donald MacLiver
Good course in nice condition. 16th hole special and a challenge for the average golfer.
Paul Bradley
Very disappointed with the greens on both Royal and Ocean courses. Apart from that everything else was good.
Philip Halpenny
Very enjoyable round at Vale do Lobo Royal today. Course in good condition but greens were rough and not up to usual standard.
Bernie Moloney
Great condition and enjoyed
Johannes Weermeijer
Great support and highly professional!
Mark Kemble
great course

Lucy MItchell
Outstanding course, the best I’ve played on so far!! Loved it.
Scott Walton
Really enjoyed The Royal course and Ines from Tee Times was very helpful when we had to rearrange our tee time.
Christine Patton
Good condition.
Monika Franck
It was a lot of for us to play tus course again after two years
The course is in a good condition
Jimmy Connellan
Very good
Paddy Whitfield
Course in good condition. Greens recently hollow tined so hard to assess. Played as a two ball at a good pace and round in 3 hours 45 minutes
Paul Antony Chapman
Very good golfing experience. Great condition. Iconic par 3. Good pace of play. Very welcoming.
Richard Johnston
Great course, one of our favourites, and this year it is in exceptional condition
François De Witte
Nice course, but we lost a lot of balls
Ian Hughes
Excellent course
Andy Edwards
Good course. Some iconic holes. In decent condition, but I have seen it better. Again there seemed to be too many people booked in. Round took 5 hours to complete.
Nick Dalgarno
A quality course and clubhouse facility but not including buggy before 12 noon is silly given everywhere else does and distances between some holes (we were relieved we had paid for the buggies). Also greens absolutely covered in pitch marks. Not exclusive to this course but I don’t understand why they don’t give every player a pitch mark repairer - especially considering the number of players who hire clubs out here and won’t have their usual equipment.
Also we played early and were told before teeing off that we could get food and drink from vending machines at 9th as cart would be unlikely to be on the course while we were playing. When we got there it contained 3 beers and a can of monster. Not exactly what we wanted
Martin Meyers
Played here last year and again this year, the course, staff and everything about this golf club is absolutely brilliant. The course is absolutely beautiful, and in excellent condition. Nothing was too much trouble from the reception staff, the starter and the bar and restaurant staff. Brilliant, we will return many times Im sure in the future. We played both courses this year, Ocean and Royal and we all agreed that these are the nicest 2 courses that we have played in Portugal. The Ocean course is brilliant but Wow the Royal course is something else.
Jocelyn Brouwer
To many slow players, no marshalls, buggies are too expensive for what they offer
Glyn Walker
Very good apart from fact when we arrived they had us booked on the Ocean course which we had played 4 days ago. Had to argue to get on the Royal which we had booked! Bit frustrating!!!
Gareth Toms
Superb golf course, some of the pin positions were brutal
Martin Purdy
Really enjoyed the course and service levels
Toine Rooijmans
Course was ok, but generally quite repeating. The signature 15 & 16th was very nice.
Receptionist at the club house was generally impolite and borderline rude. Not friendly at all. Other staff were fine. Would not come back a 2nd time.
Jackie Robinson
most enjoyable and not kept waiting or hurried from behind
Paul Turner
Very good condition
James Betts
The course was great, lovely course. I was paired up with 3 Scottish guys players. One had his father with him all in Buggies. Really nice group of people. On the back 9 a Marshall came up and asked why we were playing as a 5 ball! We weren't we had four players plus one spectator. The Marshall came back 5 mins later and said the group behind had seen us playing as a 5 ball, and that they were members. I didn't know the Scottish guys but I told the Marshall that this was a blatant lie by the group behind as we only ever had 4 players with one spectator.
This incident was unpleasant and affected the last 7 holes of my round on a beautiful course. For the record we completed the round in 3 hours and 48 mins keeping up & waiting for the group in front.
Anyone especially members should not lie and get Marshalls to confront players. To be fair the Marshall believed us the second visit but it wasn't good.
Kind Regards
James
Jonathan Cheele
Course condition, particularly buggy paths wasn’t as good as you’d expect, but closing holes as always special.
Nick Fry
Good condition & well marshalled
Danny Connellan
very good
Per Lokken
Transfer return to early , finished golf 13.15 and transfer was 13.30
The proshop changed it to 15.00
John Coates
The course as always was in excellent condition, the greens were in pristine condition. The pace of play became very slow from the 9th to the 13th holes and you were constantly waiting. Finally the course Marshall’s got to grips with it and had a word with the culprits which was a ladies 4 ball. They came and told us that they had spoken with them and the pace did pick up. Overall it was a very enjoyable round.
Ronald Hawkins
This was our second vist here and it lived up to the everything we expected.
James Page
Stunning course in immaculate condition. Would have scored it 10 if it wasn’t for the amount of times you have to take the buggy on main roads. That said would definitely play it again.
Richard Ormonde
Top class
Richard Smith
We had a wonderful experience at Vale do Lobo. The course was in very good condition

Ronny Krogh
Could you marshal duty on 16th as people skipped in line and snook in to make a que with later teetime
Andrew Finnie
Fabulous course and facilities, we waited 5 holes and 1 hour 30 min for drinks,not so good.
