Pinheiros Altos
Pinheiros Altos Golf Course located within the well-known Quinta do Lago estate, within the golfing world it is known as providing a mental challenge due to well placed hazards. Bordering the 18,300 hectares of Natural Park of Ria Formosa which provides a habitat for many species of birds and has much interesting vegetation.|Pinheiros Altos is a combination of 27 holes composed by three groups of 9 holes named Oliveiras (Olives), Pinheiros (Pines) and Sobreiros (Corks), respectively. This highly original and distinctive course possesses completely opposing characteristics. The original 18-hole course of Pinheiros Altos was well-known for its contrasting nines. While the first 9-hole are over rolling sandy undergrowth with gentle pine trees, the shorter second 9-hole runs through hills dotted with lakes that present the main obstacle for the golfers on this course.

While the course is acceptable the greens are appalling.

Beautiful golf course, quite a traditional layout, a course to plot your way around. Staff friendly and welcoming, let down by the condition of the greens which were patchy and slow.

I still think is the best layout in the Algarve. The general condition of the course has improved. However the greens are appalling which is acknowledged by the management and they are working hard to repair them but some I think are so bad they need relaying, (e.g. Pines 3&9). I'm a single player who likes to get out first tee but this year, (I was also here in June) the 2-tee start meant that I only completed 3 rounds in total, (18,11,18,9), of the 4 I booked because the pace of play was simply too slow on the back 9 to be enjoyable. This isn't really a complaint, just a fact of holiday golf for a single player.
I must thank the staff who were both sympathetic and responsive but there is only so much they can do.

Challenging experience. We played Pines & Corks. We didn't think that the course was in great condition. Probably due to the prolonged dry spell. Nevertheless we enjoyed it.

Greens are not homogeneous and their mowing is insufficient

Nice setting, friendly welcome, but greens and tees in extremely poor condition. Needs investment

Service at club was disappointing. Had to wait to check in (and listen to the staff member complaining about his start to the day) and wait for a coffee. Had tee time changed to accommodate a club competition and then felt pressured around the back 9. Spoke to staff member afterwards but he was generally disinterested. Not a great experience.
