Vilamoura Laguna’s sister, Vilamoura Millennium golf course share the same clubhouse and is the newer golf course offering more of a parkland feel, tree lined with the holes individually created by avenues of local trees.

A great golf parkland course again, which will benefit from a strategic approach.

What can you say about a championship golf course, house of the Portugual Masters.
Wide fairways, so finding them is good, but getting your ball in the right spot is a real benefit in setting up your next shot. Bigger greens but subtle breaks require you to be careful and trust your shot. The last nine holes are a test for the nerves and will require a lot of attention to overcome the various water obstacles. Holes 17 and 18 are truly fantastic, both for the view and in terms of technical demand. Great facilities to practice and warm up.
Reminiscent of an English golf club, sit on the patio outside the clubhouse and relax before or after the game.
Vila Sol is the choice for the Bobby Robson Golf Classic and a sculpture of the man stands proudly beside the 18th Green to welcome him home.
Another classic old style golf course Greens and tee's close by each other perfect.
Extraordinary 27 holes with lots of variety to test your skill.
Some tight fairways but always a way to manoeuvre your ball tee to green some sloping fairways but it's all part of the experience.
The Pine Cliffs resort is located on 68 acres of magnificently natural terrain atop an incredible cliff, overlooking a long, golden sandy beach and the Atlantic Ocean's crystal-clear water.
Martin Hawtree's main purpose while designing the golf course was to retain the natural surroundings as they were before the course was developed. Signature hole, the "Devil's Parlour," is built over a ravine and needs a 197-meter cliff shot to reach the deep, narrow green. Many golfers use this golf course for early rounds on their vacations. An excellent driving range complements the golfers offer at this luxury resort.

Dom Pedro Millennium Golf Course is a Par 72 golf course located in Vilamoura . Open since 2000 as become the most popular among all the Vilamoura golf courses. It is quite an open course, which makes it a favorite among lady golfers. Nevertheless, the front 9 has 5 holes set between pine trees, making it a more aesthetically pleasing experience, but on the other hand also more challenging, with narrower fairways. On this first round lies what is also Millennium's golf course signature hole, the 5th, a Par 4, stroke 1. The back 9 is easier all around, shorter, with a total change of scenery into open spaces, allowing mainstream golfers to hit their drivers without any worries. This is not at all a hilly golf course and so if you enjoy a walk you can do without the buggy. Overall, Millennium is regarded as a fairly forgiving golf course, some would say a fair course, and one to build a good score on. If you're on a golfing trip it is ideal to start your game here in the week to iron out all those faults before taking on tougher golf courses such as Pinhal or Laguna. After golf at Millennium you have a wide choice when it comes to leisure time, this is Vilamoura after all and it was purposely built for holidays and family fun. ...

Dom Pedro Pinhal Golf Course is a par 72 course and it is actually the second oldest in Vilamoura, dating back to 1976. In 1985 Robert Trent Jones was the one responsible for remodeling Pinhal. As suggested by the name, you will find numerous pine trees, which line most fairways, including some nearer the greens, making this a scenic, pleasant course to play. That's why Pinhal is a great course for the summertime since it has an abundance of shade. In fact, the 2nd hole has a pine tree right in the middle of the fairway, about 64 meters from the front of the green, and, on top of that, you'll have to try and miss the two bunkers that protect it. Hole 6th is a par 4, stroke 2 that will put to the test your accuracy with a narrow fairway and two bunkers on the right, which you will also have to avoid. The 16th hole is a par 5 stroke 1 with an uphill fairway plus a blind drive and second shot, with the added difficulty of two bunkers on each side. The 18th hole is what you call a true card wrecker. It is a difficult par 4 with a fairway that starts uphill, making the green invisible from the tee. The downhill approach with three deep bunkers and a very narrow green entrance is a tricky adventure you'll have to face on this one. Overall this is a long and very strategic course and one where you will have to make use of your best tactics to make a good second shot on most holes – sometimes it is preferable not to land that shot too much in the middle of the fairway in order to make the next one slightly easier. A true challenge this course, anything but boring! Once you've finished your golf, why not head towards Vilamoura center with its bustling marina and a wide choice of restaurants and bars where to hang out with your mates or the family. Away from the marina, you will find Parky's Bar and Chez Carlos Restaurant, renowned establishments in the area among golfers for over 20 years now. ...
