Palmares Golf Course
Palmares golf course highlights itself in the Algarve coast because of its prime location, facing the incredible blue scenario of the ocean. A Perfect contrast with the green of this unique 27-hole golf course designed by Robert Trent Jones II, which the links holes along the beach and the great views are the highlighting points.
The New 27 Holes Palmares Golf Course designed by Trent Jones Jr reopened mid 2010 and already Golf World magazine, has recently published its ‘top 100 in Europe’ list - and Onyria Palmares is ranked 26th in Continental Europe.

Fantastic course, once again in fine condition. Last year's difficulties now overcome as the greens were excellent.

Disappointing! Significantly overpriced for the current conditions = not worth the (high) price at all. For a recommendation the course needs significant improvement.
We have played Alvor and Lagos (holes 1 to 18). The tee boxes have seen aerification recently and are heavily sanded. Fairways are dry and hard with coarse spots in many places. The semi(?) rough consists of different grass sorts with different height and density. At several holes the unmaintained rough is next to the green which makes chipping a lottery game. The bunkers are OK (maybe the best part of the course). The greens have seen aerification recently as well and are sanded (like the tee boxes). Putting speed is fast but inconsistent. The ball is not rolling, but jumping in zic zac lines on the green.
Clear statement: directly after aerification I expect a 50% reduced green fee until the greens are in good condition again.

Gorgeous views, not in the best of shape. Not worth the price, there are better value golf options.

Overall good lots better than June. However, only water in 1 of our 2 buggies. Need gps on buggies as lots of blind holes. Never saw buggy bar & periphery around course needs tidying up

We had a tee time of 12.40 when we arrived we were told that our tee time was moved to 1.10. Condition of the course was not as good as we expected . Received e mail from club giving a discount on our next visit.

Desperately sad to see Palmares in such poor condition. The layout and views are superb but the tees, fairways and greens are nowhere near where they should be.
The fortune spent on the new Clubhouse and it's Michelin starred restaurant are in stark contrast to the deteriorating course. The water shortage cited locally as the main reason seems strange when other courses are not affected in the same way. Something doesn't feel right about what is happening. I really hope they can reverse the position. I have played the course almost every year since the 27 hole layout opened, and when it was the original 18, but sadly I won't be returning with it in the current state.
I really wish then luck in restoring the course and will monitor reviews in hopeful anticipation of improvements.

Course still struggling from lack of water, Praia 9 in poor condition, we had to play preffered lies, expensive in clubhouse for refreshments
