The Old Course – A Timeless Classic, Elevated
Located in the heart of Vilamoura, just 20 minutes from Faro Airport, The Old Course is one of the Algarve’s most iconic layouts. Designed by Frank Pennink, this parkland-style course winds through majestic pine trees, creating both beauty and challenge.
Recent renovations have further enhanced its legacy, with a modernised clubhouse, an upgraded driving range featuring TrackMan technology, and improved course conditions. As with all Vilamoura Golf courses, it upholds strict environmental sustainability standards, ensuring a pristine and eco-friendly experience.
A perfect blend of heritage and innovation, The Old Course Vilamoura remains a must-play for golfers seeking tradition, challenge, and world-class facilities.

I have been playing this course since 1987 and it remains a favourite of mine.
Everything was perfect, the course, facilities and staff.
It is getting expensive, my only hope is that it does not get too expensive for me.

Everything’s ok, in particular the driving range with the installed trackpad system is something new. Never the less now very expensive.

A very good course. However I think the cost is now too much for the course.

Great golf course in excellent condition. Our party played it last year and wanted to come back for another go. A bit of refurbishment going on, including the clubhouse, but that didn't cause much of an issue. The staff were great apart from the ''jobs worth'' course marshall. Our shuttle buses, arranged by our Dom Pedro hotel, were very late which meant we arrived virtually on our tee time. We had to book shuttles 1hr 30 mins before tee time and were told they would be 35/40 mins. Turned up 1hr 10 mins later. We therefore had to rush around and teed off slightly late. We then had the marshall tell us we were behind time. Seemed ignorant to the issue when told and part spoiled the experience. Very disappointing. Lower rating due to this.

Course good. Service excellent. It would have been nice to know that clubhouse is being redeveloped. We had a major issue with the shuttle to the hotel as had to wait for nearly 1 hour.

It was under renovation when we went but the staff have done their best with temporary facilities. Staff very helpful & friendly. Course needed some work on the greens as they weren’t in good condition.
