Greens were in excellent condition. 16th hole worth the flight over from Scotland.

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!

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.

Car parking was a bit limited. Also we couldn't take the buggies on a number of fairways
