Vale do Lobo Royal - latest comments and reviews

Andy Edwards 2024-07-09
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 2024-07-04
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

Jocelyn Brouwer 2024-06-14
To many slow players, no marshalls, buggies are too expensive for what they offer

Glyn Walker 2024-06-12
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!!!

Toine Rooijmans 2024-06-02
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.

James Betts 2024-05-22
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 2024-05-16
Course condition, particularly buggy paths wasn’t as good as you’d expect, but closing holes as always special.

Per Lokken 2024-05-12
Transfer return to early , finished golf 13.15 and transfer was 13.30 The proshop changed it to 15.00

Horst Hubig 2024-03-13
Toiletten iauf den Plätzen in Vale do Lobo gehören renoviert. Ocean course im besseren Zustand,als im Jahr 2023. Greenkeeping in Ordnung. -**- Toilets on the courses in Vale do Lobo should be renovated. Ocean course in better condition than in 2023. Greenkeeping in good order.

Ronny Krogh 2024-03-13
Could you marshal duty on 16th as people skipped in line and snook in to make a que with later teetime

Andrew Finnie 2024-03-11
Fabulous course and facilities, we waited 5 holes and 1 hour 30 min for drinks,not so good.

Stewart Binnie-mckenzie 2024-03-04
Was way too slow , I had to wait on every shot I hit . Tbh I think apart from parque de Flores ya it is the poorest course I have played

Gordon Nicolson 2023-12-12
Course very good for the time of year. Tee Times Booking first class as always however the round was incredibly slow and decided to turn in at the 10th.

Bolinski 2023-11-29
Wir waren das letzte flight heute und hatten 3 3er flight vor und sodaß wir leider an jedem Loch warten mußten und nur bis Loch 16 gespielt haben. Leider hatten wir die Greenkeeper die ganze Zeit hinter und vor uns, was von der Geräuschkulisse echt unangenehm war, schlimmer als das warten um weiterspielen zu können. Die Jungs vom Cartservice sind super nett, der Platz ist super schön. Werden dort wieder spielen. -**- We were the last flight today and had 3 flights of 3 in front of us, so unfortunately we had to wait at every hole and only played up to hole 16. Unfortunately we had the greenkeepers behind and in front of us the whole time, which was really unpleasant from the background noise, worse than waiting to be able to continue playing. The guys from the cart service are super nice, the course is really beautiful. We will play there again.

Nick Fry 2023-11-18
Greens not great and too much sand in bunkers. Layout and fairways good

Simon Moroney 2023-11-17
Surprised to discover that the greens had been aerated recently and there was no notification either on booking or at the clubhouse. This is information that should be shared with players in advance.

Alan wilcox 2023-11-14
Nice course but felt like we had to hurry last 8 holes due to predator people whine us which took the enjoyment out a bit

Mark Hughes 2023-11-14
It’s one of those courses that you have to play if staying in the Algarve, as the 16th is the one in all the photos! Clubhouse and the facilities are excellent but it’s always a slow round here! Buggy is recommended as there are some long walks between greens and tee boxes. We played as a group of 10 and was allowed to play as a 4,3,3 two days later on the Ocean we were paired up with 2 others to make 3 fourballs. Those who were playing the course for the first time were impressed.

Kevin Maguire 2023-11-13
The best thing I can say is the staff were lovely and very helpfull. The course for the money they charge was in very poor condition,the bunkers should have been out of play loosing ball plugged in them, new sand probably filled that day. On the day we played the Royal there was a machine digging out a bunker at the 6th green one of our group hit his ball into that area which was scooped up by the digger never to be seen again.

Tommy Dunphy 2023-10-29
A slight bit of confusion with regard to transfer when No return bus to our hotel turned up & we had to wait an hour .but the staff at vale do lobo organised one for us

Stuart Robinson 2023-10-27
If you really must play Vale Do Lobo then be prepared for the noisiest round of golf you've ever had. Standing on the 1st tee of the Royal Course is like teeing off at the Ryder Cup. 20+ other groups standing around talking/shouting, Green Staff wizzing by on mowers/machines and then every hole after that either has building work or noisy gardeners present at every adjacent villa. It was not relaxing at all. Top that off with greens that were well overdue a cut and I was extremely disappointed. If you're having a drink on the outside sofas afterwards do not look between the cushions, disgusting. Far better experiences to be had for far less money. Style over substance.

Daniel Wyss 2023-10-13
As always, in very well-kept condition. The service throughout the facility is very friendly and courteous. Only the old buggies do not really fit into the concept.

Lee Hamilton 2023-10-13
A bit disappointing, we didn’t tee off at the time we booked, behind a 4 ball who were not accomplished enough for the course, we waited on every shot and missed out on playing 2 or 3 holes before sunset. Greens were poor and generally course looked a bit shabby and having played it over the last 7 years we were disappointed

Chris Loynes 2023-10-11
Well honestly the greens were way too wet and so very slow. I thought the Algarve was short of water !!! Surprisingly San Lorenzo won as a course, of course the apres was reversed.

Jennifer Rutherford 2023-09-29
Pleasant course - not sure it’s great value for money. Clubhouse great

Ronnie Carswell 2023-09-26
Very tight fairways, good greens but very disjointed layout.

John Redmond 2023-09-18
Greens very poor especially the front nine.

John Morrison 2023-09-18
Condition of the greens on the royal course compared to the ocean we're in terrible condition for those that take golf seriously.

Stuart young 2023-09-17
Greens on front 9 were in poor condition. On the back 9 they were as they should be

John Kerr 2023-09-17
Shockingly bad. Poor tees poor greens and very bad bunkers. The worst I have seen it. Not worth the money.

Branko Krmpotic 2023-09-11
17 holes with narrow fairways between homes, parking lots, streets and one spectacular ocean par 3. Well manicured golf course but soggy slow greens. Some construction activity on a couple of holes, but workers are very respectful of the players. Oh yes, lets not forget crazy rules: women also have to wear collared shirts and you cannot play from the black "member" tees - chose forward yellows ir champion whites. Score cards do not have course rating, so you cannot calculate

Guillaume Boizet 2023-09-06
Great customer experience. Really bad driving range. Course conditions: 7/10. Course experience: 7/10, disappointed by all the gardeners transiting / noise. Course: 8/10 (front 9 really boring, back 9 amazing)

Michiel Soeting 2023-09-05
Greens of both Roayl and Ocean were tyned sanded. Also fairway had several GUR areas. VdL should consider discounts in those circumstances. Also quality of bunkers varied a lot throughout the holes. Plus point: the renovated tee boxes on Royal are a big improvement.

Daniel 2023-09-05
Club was lovely, was working on the course so greens could have been better

Graeme Cox 2023-09-02
Really good - played on the 1st day having just stepped off the plane. A fair test & a good opening round

Rupert Paul 2023-08-31
The course was not in good condition- greens covered in massive pitch marks, etc. they also were sanding the tee boxes, so had to scrape them clean!

Stephen Hooker 2023-08-23
Great course - experience spoiled a little by slow play

Gary white 2023-08-21
We arrived at reception and was told that our 3pm tee time didn’t have a buggy in our booking but they changed the booking to 2:50 so that we could have a buggy at no extra cost

Peter Utting 2023-08-21
Nice course / decent condition. First 4 holes a bit average but gets much better Service a bit mixed with the car park full

Richard MacMillan 2023-08-09
Good course, a bit untidy in places

Andrew Ward 2023-07-17
Enjoyable course, but too many road crossings

Roisin Hayden 2023-07-06
Beautiful course excellent booking experience. Would like to see an offer with golf cart / buggy included as this was an extra €60!

STEPHEN MAGGS 2023-06-28
Great course but still don’t understand why Vale Da Lobo force players to make up 4 balls. Having complete strangers join us today wasn’t great and the other couple weren’t happy about it either.

Michael Evans 2023-06-28
Great course as usual Sham they we’re working on the practice putting green with heavy machinery whilst we were eating lunch

Roy Evans 2023-06-25
Course in great condition. As always. Disappointed that no ice to be had for drinks compartment on buggies. There were small bottles of water supplied in the compartment but were too warm, almost hot, to enjoy. I understand the ice machine has been broken for around 2 months. How can a business as high end as Val do Lobo not purchased a new machine. The golf was uncomfortable due to not having suitable chilled drinks. We were all grateful that the caddy cart had chilled drinks when we were lucky enough to come across it on the course.

Adrian Shelswell 2023-06-13
Course in excellent condition. Some of Cart paths in need of repair. Staff very friendly . Disappointing service after round. Waited for 15 mins for someone to come & serve us with food & drink - gave up & went back to our hotel

Andrew Bunney 2023-05-19
Well our tee time was supposed to be 11.30 but they had it down at 11.40… and there were 3 fourballs and our 2 ball all booked at the same time!! Anyway we were slotted in between people for our 5 hour round… so difficult to keep your concentration.

Olivier Have 2023-05-19
bad green

Sutter Michael 2023-05-15
Not as beautyful as the ocean course. Challenging holes at the cost with very strong wind.

Simon Potts 2023-04-22
Beautiful golf course, with of course the iconic 16th. Fairways were great but greens bumpy and fluffy, disappointing. Service however was great. round took 5.25 hours !

Chris Ott 2023-03-28
Course in good condition but it all feels a bit like a municipal course. Too noisy and homes encroach too much

Jon Burrows 2023-03-27
Issue with the transfer turning up late, once we phoned they arranged something swiftly but it was 35 mins after scheduled time which meant we had to get ready straight away once we were there

Marcel M. Hopman 2023-03-10
Vale do Lobo Royal always top!

Martin Punch 2023-03-05
/Royal is the better of the two..would not play ocean again, hole 3 is a nightmare with players all over the place and also dangerous

Johannes Vreeker 2023-02-25
See comment with vae do lobo ocean

Colm Smith 2023-01-27
Course was not in as good a condition as previous years. Service in clubhouse bar was poor. Staff not well trained. Older man who we presume is the bar manager is very unfriendly , several of our group mentioned how unwelcoming the atmosphere was.

Les Howard 2023-01-26
Frosty greeting at check in could not find booking. Buggy cost increased from quote given , starter was excellent and friendly, course was not at its best having played here a lot it was not at its. Previous standard

Tony Osborne 2022-11-28
Val de Lobo is a lovely resort we played Royal this time and it was a bit scruffy. Very slow at nearly 5 hours too. Given the choice I’d always choose Ocean.

Santy Boungnavong 2022-11-23
Parcours très touristique, beaucoup de monde. -**- Very touristy route, lots of people.

Bert Piëst 2022-11-14
It was too busy. Took way too long to dob18 holes. Had to want long on every hole. Too many unrepaired pitching marks on the green

Mr. Wise 2022-11-13
Still one of our favourite courses, but greens were scruffier than normal - looked a bit overplayed.

Liam Wall 2022-11-01
excellent as always

Edward Morrisoon 2022-11-01
Excellent golf course

Tony Gill 2022-10-22
Course in good condition, a difficult knock especially that 16th into the wind. Has suffered some tree damage from fires by the look of it.

Jo Dirkx 2022-10-18
Much better service than 2 days ago. Staff and greenkeepers were much more friendlier. Also the condition of the fairways and greens were much better although the greens were sanded. The only negative point were the sandwiches.

Mihai Gaciu 2022-10-17
One of the most beautiful courses we have ever played.

Steve Richmond 2022-10-16
Beautiful golf course in excellent condition. Can't fault anything from arriving to departing.

Adrian Thorogood 2022-10-16
We were on a twilight price and even teed off on the 1st early, but we ended up playing 16th in the dark and missing 17th and 18th entirely. Yet again the Algarve courses are packing too many people in and ruining the experience as the wait is too long for almost every shot. I heard several times during our holiday that a round should be 4 hours 20 minutes. That is a ridiculous time for a game of golf for 4 people. I can do it at my local club in 3 hours 30 minutes. There is never any check on a player's handicap, not their etiquette round the green. We saw a number of players who clearly were not good enough to play these courses. We have got to the point where we won't be coming to the Algarve again, as the price is now just ridiculous and the experience is ruined by really slow play.

Adam Peck 2022-10-13
Clubhouse facilities and food outstanding. Lack of driving range facilities surprising for a course like this. Course is good but maybe a little below the standard of the quinta courses apart from the 15th and 16th holes which are absolutely stunning.

Palle Schjoedtz 2022-10-12
Good as ever

Mark Bennet 2022-10-10
A bit worn out

Paul moran 2022-10-06
Everything good except I struggle to find my password for my membership of teetimes

John Whitby 2022-10-05
Course in great condition greens were fast and true

Anthony Seaton 2022-10-05
Great place

Hugh Jagger 2022-09-28
TeeTimes were very helpful when two of our party did not make it from the UK for health reasons they got me a full refund from the golf course with just two days notice. The Royal at Vale do Lobo was majestic as ever and in very good condition, with just a slight quibble about the greens not being quite the same speed. Maybe they were part way through mowing them.

Debbie Wilson 2022-09-27
Very pleasant lunch, check in very easy. Everyone very pleasant. Course in ok condition

Keith Conway 2022-09-24
Fantastic course, friendly staff. Definitely will return.

Jimmy Connellan 2022-09-23
Everything worked well. Staff helpful and friendly. Course good

Clive 2022-09-21
Not as good as the Ocean. A lot of wild fire damage and many trees either being cut down or marked to come down so will not be the same for very many years. Still some very nice holes though.

Ian Williams 2022-09-21
Excellent

Bryan Dick 2022-09-18
Never fails to deliver. I'd pay the Green Fee for the 16th alone.

Paul Turner 2022-09-16
marvellous condition

Niall Sheridan 2022-09-15

Great experience! Loved the course, and the staff is very professional and friendly. Had good luck on the 16th, scored a bogey to remember.

Scott Aird 2022-08-29
Enjoyable course in good condition. Pleasant and numerous ground staff.

Mike Pigdon 2022-08-28

John Hannan 2022-08-26
Totally enjoyable as usual. Thank you

Julie Cobley 2022-08-18
Enjoyable course , some tricky holes

Roberto S Carvalho 2022-08-12
Excellent experience, beautiful golf course, highly recommended

Paul Chitate 2022-08-11
Very beautiful course and catering services. The cost of hiring clubs is too high.

Sue Simons 2022-08-06
Vale do Lobo Royal Course was in a fantastic condition, greens were true, fairways mostly immaculate. We did find it confusing on a couple of holes finding our way to the next hole. We were told we had to have a buggy but saw some player on the course with trolleys. The club house is very modern. Reception was not that friendly but all the rest were extremely helpful. Pricey to play the course but we felt it was worth it. Tried to book direct and very few tee times available so booked with teetimes.pt with no problem at all.

Andrew Chapple 2022-07-23
Pity the Ocean was closed for the day but the Royal was a good course all the same. Greens were decent , some fairways could have been better maintained, and pathways between holes need attention. Tees were disappointing as hardly any of them were level which is unusual !. Great clubhouse area and ambiance and food afterwards. All in a good experience but the worst of the 3 courses we played this week. Old Course and Laranjal both far better. Laranjal in particular so.

Adrian 2022-07-18
An old favourite

Richard Broadhead 2022-07-11
Good

Ralph van den Boogaard 2022-06-28
Nice course

Richard Sunderland 2022-06-25
Great service

Paul Fernandez 2022-06-22
I was teamed up with a two ball as I was on my own, however, I was surprised there are no requirements for handicapp certa to play the course. I was teamed up with someone who had obviously not played more tha a couple of rounds of golf in his life. He lost c.12 balls in 18 holes, and it took us 4.5 hours to.play 18 holes!

Tony Seaton 2022-06-21
Always a good course

Carole Drury 2022-06-20
Surprisingly quiet but good as ever

Anthony Mills 2022-06-20
Excellent course and brilliant service

Keith Golesworthy 2022-06-10
Good greens and fairways, first time on a very nice course. Lots of maintainence going but it is summer so not unexpected

Chris Avraam 2022-06-09
A great course, one of the very best on the algarve. After playing both courses at Vale do lobo a few times now I prefer the ocean course. Round was a tad slow as was very busy the day I played.

Mike Tattersall 2022-06-08
Excellent course in top condition. Fabulous

Glyn Myhill 2022-06-07
Course slow no Marshall’s no drinks cart painfully slow service in the bar area .

Michael Dybacz 2022-06-01

Paul Fernandez 2022-05-02
Course conditions excellent, extremely friendly staff in the complex and out on the course

Darren Gatward 2022-04-26
Speed of play was good, course in reasonable condition, not as good as the ocean course. Bunkers were varied and some very poor with little or no sand.

Steve Roadway 2022-04-21
Course in good condition Enjoyable

RINALDONI 2022-04-07
très beau golf, fairways magnifiques English version - very nice golf course, beautiful fairways

Charles Tighe 2022-04-07
Course good. Bunkers a bit wet and heavy but we played early

John Reardon 2022-04-06
Fabulous Course

Trevor Simpson 2022-04-05
Good as usual.

Jon Erik Børresen 2022-04-04
Bunkers Are not good! The service in the restaurant is not good!

Jeremy stock 2022-03-26
Excellent welcome, service and course

Mark McAteer 2022-03-24
By far the best facility we played. Course condition was excellent, course was beautiful and challenging, staff were very friendly and we didn't get paired up with another two-ball. Perfect. Twilight range is great value for money. Also there was a reduced rate for the golf buggy along with the Twilight rate, which means they are not obsessed with ripping golfers off at any opportunity.

Per Lauritsen 2021-11-22
Perfect course but poor service in the restaurant

Hervé Maillard 2021-11-16
ok

Thomas Carey 2021-11-12
I precooked balls for the range at Vale DeLobo Royal but the golf course did not recognise and I had to pay again. The range there is very poor quality and the service was poor.

Mark Schmitz 2021-11-12
Very loud course - at every third hole greenkeepers with blowers or cutters. Houses beside the course are built every third hole and this also creates a lot of noise. The place is not recommended from our point of view.

Nick Fry 2021-11-06
All good

Anne Nikolaisen 2021-11-06
Very nice ????????????

Alan Gray 2021-10-12
The course was untidy and the greens were covered in unrepaired pitch marks. There are much better courses in the area

Pierre-Alain DEVAUD 2021-10-08
I hoped for a better course. Some holes are not interesting. There is a lot of marks on their greens, pitches, foot and other.

John Rowcroft 2021-10-05
A lot disappointed for the extra cost from June. Over played without being maintained to a standard you would except and not any better than when we have played in June Low season.

Maurice Rogers 2021-09-21
A spectacular course, let down by some scruffy greens.

Dolbeau Philippe 2021-09-16
Disapointed. Course not well maintened. Not so nice, compare to others on the area. Too many ugly houses along, roads. Bad welcome on thé Golf Center.

Dr. Klaus Mittelbach 2021-09-10
Course in a good shape, check in in particular under corona condition well organised, never the less very poor driving range

Georges da violante 2021-08-04
Great golf but very difficult to park my car and it is not possible to use drivers and woods at the driving range.

Mike Smith 2021-07-13
Really enjoyed the course. It was in great condition.

Chris Ray 2021-06-24
Good

Mark Hutch 2021-05-24
Excellent

Christophe Balland 2021-05-13
Vale do Lobo Royal overall in very good condition (mid May21) Especially the greens which are in the best possible condition at this time of the year when Poa annua is growing seed heads. The greens were rolled to smoothen the surface and give speed and true roll. Buggy battery hardly made it to the 18 holes (not fully charged at start) Nice club house and facilities. But, not very easy to find the golf desk. Need a sign at the roundabout for direction from the 16th green to the 17th tee. Some beautiful holes. Playable by all levels (except the par 3 9th).

Florian Greiner 2021-04-24
Wonderfully day !

Guidi Giovanni 2021-04-23
Perfect ????

Neil Macklin 2021-04-06
the golf course was in world class condition .. plus new buggies as well ..

Ian McKnight 2021-01-25
Great course but one poor staff member did his best to spoil things.

Dr. Klaus Mittelbach 2020-12-30
Everything all right. Good restaurant

Libby Lennox 2020-12-14
Compared to earlier in the year when I last played the Royal Course I thought the Fairways have a lot of the creeping grass appearing on them and the greens were very bumpy.

Andy Chambers 2020-03-09
excellent course

Pietro Torretta 2020-03-07
Very nice experience i played on Royal Course: excellent

Tony Burgess 2020-03-05
Very good website to book through. Course was great.

Neil Rodgerson 2020-03-01
Fab course. Always in great condition.

Albert Yu 2020-02-29
good and well maintain course, beautiful set up

René Lachance 2020-02-27
Very nice course with an excellent reception from staff. Played at 7 o'clock was a little bit frisky but very enjoyable

Howard Grice 2020-02-21
Easy check in. Good service. Good pace of play for 1pm start Course in very good condition. Enjoyable experience.

Ray Boxwell 2020-02-17
Staff were ok considering the mix up, course ok

Stephen Liddell 2020-02-12
Golfcourse was in a poor condition!!! I have seen it better !!! Poor Buggy paths and lots of branches and rest from nature lying around !!! Time to leave Vale do Lobo alone for the next few years !!!! At least no Marschall problems !!!

George Fotopoulos 2020-01-30
Marisa has been AWESOME to deal with !

Anne Nikolaisen 2020-01-28
The Courses at Vale do Lobo are fantastic ! But had to pay 45 Euro for buggy, it is too expensive!

Jan Sklepek 2020-01-12
Der Platz ist stehts in einem exzellenten Zustand. Die Frauenabschläge könnten gerade sein, ab und zu findet man wellige Abschläge

Brian AH-CHUEN 2020-01-04
Check-in very efficient given we also needed to hire buggy, trolley and clubs. Course is of high quality.

Alan Masters 2020-01-02
Both enjoyed the course, although a lot of walking between greens and tees. Greens were quicker than practice green and in good condition. We also had to play in a fourball as course quite busy.

John 2019-12-31
The course was in reasonable condition and play was reasonably quick. Good value for money, especially for juniors although they charge lots for the add ons (buggies etc). Club house food is the best around

James Ellis 2019-12-31
Sunset in Sweet 16 fantastic

Boitard Jean-Paul 2019-12-12
très beau golf, fairway en très bon état.

Dr Chris Ashton 2019-12-10
Excellent course in great condition. Starters/staff very friendly and accommodating.

James Tannett 2019-12-09
Great day, weather excellent for time of year. Just enough time teeing off at 1315 but no hold ups at all. Course in excellent condition. Play here every year for our first round and never disappoints.

Simon Richardson 2019-12-06
Cracking course, well kept in December. Fairways great to play off, greens received well and rolled true. Exceptional facilities and professional staff.

Pirjo Santala 2019-11-28
One of the best in Vilamoura

Stefan Junk 2019-11-27
Everything was fine, every Person was very friendly and the Course in Good condition!

Tibor Mlynka 2019-11-15
very well

Mr Stephen W A Chapman 2019-11-09
Had a great afternoon with my son, the only thing was a Chinese couple in front of us playing a 4 ball round between the 2 of them

Anne Nikolaisen 2019-11-05
Nice course

Ben Standley 2019-10-30
Very impressed with Vale do Lobo Very friendly staff and great clubhouse.Golf course in good condition. Will return.

Nick Fry 2019-10-27
Course in good condition but currently not as good as the Ocean course

Ivan 2019-10-25
Everything was in order. The condition of the greens could have been better

Andrew Brackenbury 2019-10-24
Great course. Played many times. This time on holiday with family so got first tee of the day. Just me and the green-keepers. Round in under 3hrs. Great clubhouse facilities.

Lee Doyle 2019-10-23
We originally booked to play royal course on 19th but the weather caused us to be abandoned after 3 holes but the course staff were fantastic gave us a voucher to play early on 22nd before our flight home and it was one of the best courses I’ve ever played

TERRY DIXON 2019-10-18
Exceptional course

Lovera Philippe 2019-10-18
Très beau parcours et bien varié

Mark Baynes 2019-10-16
good course. Well maintained.

Stephen Russell 2019-10-15
Great service by staff and very friendly.

Neill Richardson 2019-10-14
Superb course and facilities

David Burley 2019-10-13
one of the best courses we played this year excellent condition and wonderful views and no problem with the service at the bar this time.

Jan Vermeesch 2019-10-10
In comparison with other courses, we found the quality of the fairways and greens to be a bit disappointing. Not in relation to the price you pay to play. We had a nice round but prefer Ocean above Royal.

Adrian Thorogood 2019-10-07
Lovely course in good condition except the tee boxes were awful.

Petr Hoffmann 2019-10-04
not well maintained tees

Russell Smith 2019-09-30
What a great course - it is such a shame that the 2nd half of our round on Royal was so slow. We didn't quite make it round the full 18 before the sun went down. The facilities at Vale do Lobo are brilliant and the staff cannot do enough for you. I will come back

Avril Davis 2019-09-19
Had a fab time in vale do lobo royal. Loved course and all staff were very nice and helpful.

Glyn Richards 2019-09-18
Played Vale do lobo for a number of years, this year payed £100 per round on the ocean and Royal and the quality is very poor, this venue over the past number of years has been top class, have played Vale do lobo for the last 10 years but will not be back next year, Vale do lobo up your game

Phil Clements 2019-09-18
Again a great course and wanted to stay for longer post round.

colinsloss@yahoo.co.uk 2019-09-17
We went around in 3.5 hours during twilight which was brilliant. The Ocean course took us nearer 5 hours - the rangers need to keep up the speed of play and let faster groups through

glenn weston 2019-09-14
very good course good greens and great course layout

Carol Lane 2019-09-11
Reception staff fantastic. Course was stunning and greens true. Quieter than other courses

Gregg Hastings 2019-09-11
Very enjoyable, lovely course

Giovanni D Elia 2019-09-03
Was a great Game. Expected to have a display in the buggy and more friendly workers in the shop

Phil Williams 2019-08-31
Prefer this course to the Ocean but in fairness, both are great

M. Perez de Zabalza 2019-08-29
Excellent field, marvellous hole near the sea.

Andrew Slavin 2019-08-28
wonderful day out at a superb golf course and well looked after by the team at Vale de Lobo

Jan Hoogenboom 2019-08-21
Great round. We had an even earlier start.

Keith Walker 2019-07-31
Great course in very good condition just a shame there is so much distance between greens and tees

John Powell 2019-07-29
The course was quite quiet - which is different than my previous experience of both Vale do lobo courses, this was very good as it meant that I could play to a good speed. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The course is in great condition - really enjoyed playing.

Tom Frost 2019-07-28
The best course I have ever played on. The condition was immaculate and topped off by the amazing scenery surrounding it.

John Hendry 2019-07-28
Played on the sunset deal with buggy included, we went round in 3.5 hours and could have been quicker. Course is lovely and in great condition. Good holes with some spectacular ones. Staff all very friendly.

Andrew Lawrence 2019-07-26
Course in mint condition.

Andy Mee 2019-07-07
Excellent course in great condition. 16th hole didn't disappoint!

Denis Ovens 2019-07-06
fantastic

Sam Dempsey 2019-07-05
Excellent course and great value. Exceptional service on the main desk and from the starter on the first tee. Couldn’t be better!

Mr D W Huckerby 2019-07-04
Excellent course ,staff really good ,transfers excellent can’t wait to play it again

Mr D W Huckerby 2019-07-02
Very good course transfers from hotel and back excellent

Andy Monk 2019-06-29
Lovely course great condition throughout

John Hannan 2019-06-29
Course is in great shape. Lovely golf club and staff are very pleasant

nick MacHugh 2019-06-23
VDL Royal remains a decent track but it has been overtaken by many of its new neighbours. Pace of play was too slow and this is caused by the quality of golfers allowed on the course. Two of the three ball in front of us could hardly hit the ball and when one of their first tee shots went at right angles into the car park something should have been said. It’s all about making money! Driving down streets between green and next tee was a bit strange. The 16th is a fantastic hole but not sure the other 17 make this one hole worth it

Trym Anderson 2019-06-17
Good course,but the greenkeper should wonder how he place the flag sometimes, so bad on 2 holes when the flag is downhill

Trym Anderson 2019-06-11
Nice course,good greens

Phil Lynch 2019-06-04
Great course

Peter Tholen 2019-06-02
Great course, good condition, shame there’s such limited practice facilities

Kevin Walker 2019-05-28
Excellent

John J Gosney 2019-05-27
A really nice course presented in great condition. Great facilities. Would definitely recommend to friends.

Bryan Dick 2019-05-27
Very very good again. Clubhouse the best we visit. Courses very busy but in great condition.

Simon Coe 2019-05-25
Course was excellent only downside was the number of unrepaired pitchmarks, especially as we teed off at 7am.

Ditlef Faye 2019-05-20
Lovely course - nice playing partners. Miss a good driving range at Vale do Lobo

Tony Coombs 2019-05-14
Single track course that has lob on both sides therefore requires some straight hitting off the tee. Tees, fairways and greens in great condition. The strong breeze made the round interesting, especially the 'million hole in one' where I upped club by 4 to the centre of the green due to the gusting conditions. Overall a tough place to score but a good challenge.

Ian Green 2019-05-14
The setting, club facilities and course were superb, I would recommend this course and complex to any golfer.

Barry Emery 2019-05-13
Course in good condition as always. Greens were a little slow but to be expected during twilight round

Ian Hudson 2019-05-12
Course in stunning condition

Pat Connellan 2019-05-07
Very good golf course, very tough driving holes. Greens very good

Greg Reynolds 2019-05-05
A fantastic course in a beautiful setting which although challenging is very playable for all handicaps

Darren Gatward 2019-05-03
Excellent condition, pace of play was very good

Bonin 2019-04-30
Excellent course in very good condition but Driving Range clearly inacceptable for such 2 golf courses (Océan & royal). You can only hit 9 iron maximum !! Just insane

David Lilley 2019-04-16
Stunning course. Tight in places with small greens.

Owen O'Sullivan 2019-04-08
Course was excellent, staff good. Not having electric caddy cars was a disappointment.

Jackie Robinson 2019-04-06
Most enjoyable Set off at 3.20 and arrived back at 7.30 when still light. Only a small rain shower!

Graham Sharp 2019-04-03
Coarse was good but i feel overpriced especially with no Buggy or even some practice balls included

Stéphane Jacquemont 2019-04-02

Golf course ok, but slow play in front of us.

PHILIP REEKS 2019-02-19
It’s not cheap but I thought it was excellent value. Despite rain the course was so pristine, true and just felt majestic. The clubhouse is also first class and I found everyone to be welcoming and friendly.

McGahey 2019-02-02
Fantastic golf courses

Ben Jones 2019-01-29
Excellent course in first class conditions, greens like glass. Great fun.

Nick Fry 2019-01-20

The course was in great condition and has a wonderful layout staff were all pleasant and helpful one of my favourite courses

Jose Guerra 2018-10-16
Excellent, staff very courteous, helpful and accommodating. The golf course was in very good shape. Don’t be deceived by the first three holes which seem very blah. The rest of the course was great. The fifteenth and especially the sixteenth hole was breathtaking.

Brian gale 2018-10-16
Enjoyed vale do lobo very much.royal course not as good condition as ocean but service very good

Johan Ekesioo 2018-10-08
Good course but not comparable to Ocean. I always use trolleys and a club/course of this standard/price should have upgraded to 3 wheel trolleys instead of old 2 wheelers.

Serge Levitan 2018-10-08
very good course

Bill Leach 2018-10-03
We loved the Royal course and all commented what a beautiful house it was. Very nice bar and club area too.

Chris Smith 2018-10-01
What a complex, thoroughly enjoyed amazing experience

Terje Edvardsen 2018-09-26

Stuart Massey 2018-09-18
All went very smooth also understood that we wanted to play in a 2...Bit slow on the back nine

Roy G. Jack 2018-09-11

Wayne Pontin 2018-08-12

Course in fantastic condition, one or two pitchmarks but the greens were very good, no bobbles all day. As always here, the staff were very friendly. Definitely be back

Barry McNally 2018-07-15
Very happy with course condition

Liz Scully 2018-07-14
Great course. In good condition.

Gordon Livingston 2018-07-06
Always very overplayed and consequently too slow..... more marshalling required!!

Tim Sale 2018-07-05
Great round of golf at Vale Do Lobo.

jonathan thomson 2018-06-30
Course was excellent. The condition fantastic, all staff brilliant a really enjoyable round I will be back as soon as possible, only criticism is the driving range you can’t hit more than a 9 iron

David Walton 2018-06-24
Nice golf coutse and well kept

Glyn Richards 2018-06-18
Great course in excellent condition and facilities

Olivier van Wulfften Palthe 2018-06-14
Perfect!

Simon D Turner 2018-06-07
The whole course was in superb condition. Great day of golf.

Sue McKinley 2018-06-03
Very enjoyable especially the 16th which was a great experience!

Jean-Guy Hottiaux 2018-06-01
Beautiful course. Some holes require a straight driver and the 15 is the best one.

Andrew Rice-Tucker 2018-05-28
Well looked after courses and service very good.

Paul Mylet 2018-05-28
Loved the course and the layout just a bit long between tee and green as we used trollies

Alan Miller 2018-05-28
Our first day and we were tired , very long between tee and green but a great test of all your golf skills and would love to play again

Steve Threader 2018-05-20
Course was in good shape and enjoyable although the round was extremely slow and the on course staff didn't seem to be able to improve the pace of play.

Atle Conradsen 2018-05-18
Everything went perfectly. Great course

James Ridgway 2018-05-17
Always stay here for food but it's very over priced!

Mike Lee 2018-05-08
Played here a lot, always a good golfing experience

Peter Lovenholm 2018-05-07
Great course!

Tom Hainsworth 2018-05-01
first class

Jamie Hughes 2018-04-30
Fabulous course in perfect condition

Jonathan O'Neill 2018-04-29
Only negatives-some tees were not flat and the pace of play was slow If they insist on asking your handicaps they should not allow high handicap players on the course at it slows the pace right down

Robert Butler 2018-04-27
Very good

Joe Hennelly 2018-04-23
We had a fantastic day. Beautiful course. Excellent friendly staff

John newman 2018-04-21
Great course what I expected good condition

Delaume Catherine 2018-04-18
Fabulous golf course and services. Upstanding fairways. We were not allowed to start before our tee time as in Penina, but we had enough time, even without buggies, to play the whole course before sunset.

Peter Watson 2018-04-17
The course is in excellent condition considering the recent wet weather. A buggy is recommended as there is some distance between some of the greens and tees

Conor Kelly 2018-04-16
Weather was very poor on arrival and the reception staff were very friendly and pushed our tee time back 2 hours. Food was v good in the restaurant and staff are very friendly. Played the Ocean course on Wednesday and Royal course on Thursday. The round on Thursday was very slow. We had a 3 ball. Would always recommend playing in a 4 ball if its busy. All round this is a fantastic venue. In my opinion the Royal is far superior to the Ocean course. We will be back again.

Brian Filler 2018-04-16
very good! although it was only the second day of opening after maintenance the greens were in good condition

Luc Primeau 2018-03-19
Superbe ! Course difficult but in perfect shape even if it was raining a lot.

Karin Schirocki 2018-03-16
abwechslungsreich, super gepflegt, tolle Fairways und Grüns. Spektakulär sicherlich Loch 16. Wenn wir uns zwischen dem Royal und dem Ocean entscheiden müssten würden wir allerdingst den Ocean spielen. Aber eigentlich nehmen sich beide Plätze nicht wirklich viel.

Whittal Williams 2018-03-12
Some excellent holes but the course looses atmosphere because it is so spread out.

kevin birchall 2018-03-12
the experience was very pleasant with staff a great help

Ken Castle 2018-03-10
I always love this course, I have played it a dozen times or more, and there remain holes on it I have still to solve! (and that does not include the signature 16th!)

Nick Fry 2018-03-09
Great course in good condition

Ian Hunt 2018-03-09
Fabulous experience, superb customer experience, lovely food. The course was in exceptional condition, pace of play was good, marshals were discrete but on it in terms of maintaining the pace of play. A memorable day's golf.

Andrew Stevenson 2018-03-08
Lovely course and I played early. Trouble was that I was always with greens staff on machines: sometimes three machines on my hole. As a result it spoiled my round I am afraid.

Dr. Volker Müller 2018-03-07
The course is in a very good condition. Fast greens- great! The stuff at the desk was friendly and politely. Unfortunately we'd a slow 4Ball flight in front ( took nearly 2h to play 6 holes ). No marshal around. .

Thomas Wicker 2018-03-05
The signature hole is the green fee worth, perfect greens and fairways , I prefer royal than ocean course

Horst Hubig 2018-03-05
Es war alles in Ordnung Bestens

Gary Cumbers 2018-03-04
Well organised, curtious staff, everything ran smoothly. Fantastic service.

Anthony Keenan 2018-03-03

After the misery of Ocean the Royal was an experience in a good way.

Mike 2018-02-24
Superb as always

Lesley Hitchcock 2018-02-23
Everything was just fine thank you. Course lovely, service at club house good.

Scholten 2018-02-20
great course with wonderful greens and views.

Axel Heuser 2018-02-19
Auffallend ist das gepflegte dichte Fairway, das auf eine Fairwaybewässerung hinweist. Leider sehen sich immer wieder Golfer außerstande, Divots wieder einzusetzen. Die Grüns sind ebenfalls gut gepflegt. Das Puttinggrün hatte allerdings nichts mit den schnellen Grüns auf der Runde gemein. Diejenigen Golfer, die auf ein Buggy verzichten, müssen eine gute Kondition haben. Die Topographie des Platzes weißt einige Steigungen auf. Die Sanitäranlagen sind auf dem neusten Stand, so dass auch das Duschen zum Genuss wird.

Jan Sklepek 2018-02-17
Sehr gut gepflegter Golfplatz, Bahn 16 ist einmalig.

Georg Fricke 2018-02-14
This Court is In a very good condition, but it was to hard to play for us

Frank Blake 2018-02-08
Excellent experience and venue.

Timo Salomaa 2018-01-19

Steve Bassi 2018-01-15

Jan Sklepek 2018-01-05
Der Golfplatz war wie immer im perfekten Zustand, das Personal im Büro sehr hilfsbereit.

Dominik L. Zuhorn 2018-01-04
Vale do Lobo Royal zählt unseres Erachtens zu den schönsten Gofplätzen an der Algarve. Besonders beeindruckend ist das berühmte Loch 16 mit dem fantastischen Blick und der golferischen Herausforderung. Lediglich die zum Teil langen Wege zwischen den Löchern sind nachteilig.

John Graham 2017-12-31
course was in good order

William Forrest 2017-12-19
Did not enjoy this course. Condition was poor.

Regina Paetzke 2017-11-26
Except for the 16th hole not really exciting

Gordon Reid 2017-11-21
Yes lovely course and nice and quiet

Trevor Ward 2017-11-18
Another great day with lovely weather and company, followed by drinks with everyone at Chez Carlos Restaurant , many thanks again

John Deveney 2017-11-14
I have always said I would never return to this place due to the attitude of the staff, we only came back because one of our party had not played here before. Pleasantly surprised by what few staff we met, greatly improved attitude or did we get lucky? Course as good as ever, may even return again or maybe that would be tempting fate.

Wilson Pitt 2017-11-11
Great course for all range of handicaps

Rainer Albath 2017-11-10
Course in very Golf Condition

Marc Vandeplas 2017-11-05
truly wonderful. We got the first twighlight green fee and still managed to complete the 18 holes while only paying half the price. The Royal course is somehow easier than the Ocean but the 16th hole is worth waiting for.

Aidan Foley 2017-10-30
10/10..got us out in daylight with hour change.fab course.I got injured on course and all staff looked after me 100%.Please thank them for leg injury 5.00 yesterday Aidan Foley

Adam Gutteridge 2017-10-18
Course in generally good condition, wet underfoot but to be expected given the overnight rain. Greens fast & true and well maintained all round

Liz Scully 2017-07-08
Great course in excellent condition. Terrific group of players today.

Karen young 2017-07-03
My favourite.

Darren Howlett 2017-07-03
I love the whole Vale Do Lobo experience including sitting outside Spikes but I find this course nothing special other than the amazing 16th which everybody who plays golf knows about! Holes 14 and 15 get you in the mood...

Brendan Collins 2017-06-27
Very good to excellent course. Fantastic clubhouse and restaurant facility for the Vale do Lobo courses.

Jean-Guy HOTTIAUX 2017-06-17
Beautiful course. A must do once in Algarve.

Greg Hall 2017-06-15
Excellent, very enjoyable

Gillian mcleod 2017-06-13
Loved this course too. Can't pick between this one and Ocean. Will play it again.

Maurice Rogers 2017-05-30
Excellent

Dave Thompson 2017-05-27
What a supper course well worth playing. Cannot understand why I left it until this year having played in the Algarve for some years. Cannot wait to play it again.

Peter Lamont 2017-05-26
Most enjoyable course. 1st time playing there and won't be our last. Very friendly staff and course was in superb condition.

Paul Pheby 2017-05-24
Vale do Lobo delivers a fine golfing experience throughout. Twilight round is great value and both courses are in fabulous condition

Graham Johnson 2017-05-17
Joy to play

Bobinski 2017-05-16
perfect

Peter Sandtorv 2017-05-09
Fantastic fairways this year

Benny Talt 2017-04-19
This course was excellent not as challenging as the Ocean Course but again fairways good and greens fast. 9/10

Sarah 2017-04-15
Compared with the other courses this was our least favourite

Michael Bryan 2017-04-09
The prettier course, teed off on time and round in just over 4 hours which was splendid.

Lenni Vainio 2017-04-09
Super ! Very very good place. Hole number 16 is awesome !!

Micheline Leclerc 2017-04-06
the best fantastic golf course of all...10 out of 10

Britta Ries 2017-04-06
Also very good. It's recommended to take a buggy due to long course and long ways between holes.

G.J.T. Schuurman 2017-04-06
Nice course but we had bad weather, so it was a bit swampy on several holes. No driving range.

Janice Carruthers 2017-04-04
Excellent course in great condition.

Alex Mcghee 2017-03-27
Best course we played, fantastic.

Ken Castle 2017-03-11
Always have liked this course, if you are off your game it kills you, and there are still holes on it that after a dozen tries, I have yet to play well! Quick greens, which I like, but the fringes/first cut are much springier than in the UK, making it v difficult to get reliable contact.

Axel Heuser 2017-03-08
I prefer more this course than the Ocean course. It is a superb course, the signature hole is the par-3, hitting over cliffs. The fairways are ondulated und bride enough.

William Black 2017-03-07
Good but perhaps too testing for us.

Terry Bird 2017-03-05
Good

Trevor Swift 2017-03-05
Only issue was that as we booked as a 2 ball we were paired with two others at Val do Lobo. This turned out to be an 80 year old couple, so progress was frustrating and slow. The course really ought make an effort to join together similar ability golfers

Doug Smith 2017-03-01
Always a pleasure to play at Val do Lobo. From the great reception at the check in to the assistance from the starters etc. The Royal course was in pretty good condition, and the greens were true and fast enough without being too fast. Some of the Tee grounds could be better but that's a small issue. A great day out.

Howard L Verrill 2017-02-28
Immaculate golf course. Greens, rough, fairways, bunkers. Tip to shape. Beautiful course to play. I had a great day there,

Rob Hollis 2017-02-27
Great course. Buggies and trollies greatly overpriced

Not a very special course. Too much distance between the holes and sometimes poorly direction given between the holes

The Royal at Vale do Lobo is a very interesting course, winding through the Vale do Lobo estate. Yesterday the course was in very good condition but the greens were lightening fast which suited some but not everyone. Always made welcome here. Try it.

Everything OK

Howard Lockhart 2016-12-01
The tougher of the 2 courses but also suffering slightly from the weather and the volume of play. Only irritation is that we were a 6 and the club treated us as a 4 and a 2 and put others (strangers) out with us. Other than that the staff were excellent.

Really liked the course and played there twice; the staff there were very nice and the clubhouse food menu was lovely.

Buggies are too expensive.

Neal Rea 2016-10-28
Breathtaking, looking forward to playing again.

Liam Kearney 2016-10-25
Val do Lobo Royal was as usual in great condition and the group enjoyed it immensely. The whole ambience of the clubhouse area, for lunch, was enjoyed by all.

Matthew Campbell 2016-10-22
Good, challenging track. Some tough golf holes after a gentle start.

It can be very slow.

Paul Oates 2016-09-09
Great course and facilities. Layout of the course and views were stunning.

Doug Smith 2016-08-09
The general condition of the course was good. The greens were true and in good condition. It was an extremely hot day but we only saw the comfort/bar buggy twice. Shame about latest erosion of the cliffs around the 16th tee. Overall a good experience.

Gareth Davies 2016-08-08
Excellent condition and some wonderful challenging holes

Jon Burrows 2016-08-08
Excellent all round golf experience. Clubhouse, staff and course were all excellent

Lovely course. Hired golf clubs, which were not in the best of condition, which we mentioned to the pro shop. Next time we will take our own!

Andrew Palmer 2016-07-04
Excellent course, however buggies could do with course navigation aid.

Darren Howlett 2016-06-30
Course is ok, 16th is a great talking point especially if you have ''newbies'' in the group! We love to play it as we stay in Vale do Lobo and the clubhouse is a great spot for drinks and food post round. One of my favourite places in the world!

As with the ocean course brilliant with some spectacular and daunting holes, we all loved the experience , and will do our very best to return

Gavin Dillon-Read 2016-06-17
Honestly sensational, everything I wanted it to be. Beautiful place to play golf

Alain COSTE 2016-06-13
Nous avons énormément apprécié ce parcours ( l'Océan) accueil et conditions très agréables; Le parcours est d'une beauté magnifique et le tracé sélectif mais d'une recherche technique extrème. Vue sur l'océan paradisiaque; de la grande classe. Souvenir inoubliable, à notre grand bonheur

Trevor Swift 2016-06-04

Gary Walsh 2016-05-10

Raymond Chapman 2016-05-02
Excellent

Anthony Beardsley 2016-03-18
Very good course. Service excellent too. Probably the best course I have ever played

Rob Thomas 2016-03-18
As above but prefer the Ocean course as it is less technically demanding and more scenic.

Hermann Heddens 2016-02-15
Alles gut, super gepflegt.

Russell Cooper 2016-02-05
We played VdL twice and it was good. The first round was soured by our tee time being delayed by two hours and we felt that the staff, especially at reception, were not exactly apologetic. Tee Times were extremely apologetic, and sorted us out complimentary buggies for our next two rounds - something that we felt the course should have offered. We enjoyed the Royal Course but felt that the Ocean was better.

Frank Becker 2015-10-23
