16th Hole at Vale do Lobo

Vale do Lobo

Almancil, Algarve, Portugal

More than just a golf course, Vale do Lobo is a luxury resort with a beach, spa, leisure activities, and residential homes. Vale do Lobo is close to Quinta do Lago, providing Portugal’s southern Algarve with an exceptional variety and quality of golf.

With two courses to choose from on your Portugal golf vacation, players can experience every challenge. Both golf courses are well-maintained, with significant elevation changes and several holes running along the beach and cliff tops of the Algarve coast.

The Royal Course here is home to possibly the most famous golf hole in the country, making it one of the best courses in Portugal. Well-positioned late into the round, the first intimidating glimpse of this spectacular par-3 16th is seen from the 15th fairway. The daunting tee shot plays over the red sandstone cliffs, with sea breezes and a substantial drop.

The Ocean Course receives its name from a run of seafront holes on the back nine. The par-4 14th plays down to a green adjoining the beach, while the par-3 15th plays parallel to the beach. Whether you play one or both courses, you’ll test your mettle at Vale do Lobo.
