Vilamoura Pinhal Golf Course
Course information & details
Description:
Vilamoura Pinhal golf course sits in Vilamoura, on Rua da Torre D'Água, the second course built in the resort after Frank Pennink laid it out in 1976. Robert Trent Jones reworked the layout in 1985, adding doglegs and length without touching its parkland character. Fifty years on, it's still regarded as one of the Algarve's classic tests.
Umbrella and Atlantic pines line almost every fairway, closing in tight enough that a stray drive rarely finds a clean recovery. Doglegs run through much of the round, and water comes into play on the 4th, 5th, 8th and 14th. The 13th, a long par five, carries the course's signature hole status, and the back nine adds the layout's sharpest undulation.
Off the course, Pinhal keeps things simple: a driving range, resident academy, putting green, and a clubhouse restaurant that looks out over the practice area. It's a traditional course built on consistency, and regulars return to it year after year, some after decades away. Book your round with Tee Times, and see what's kept Pinhal among Vilamoura's favourites.
