Alamos Golf Course is one of the newer names in the Algarve and it's a cracking option if you enjoy a proper test that's shaped by the land, not just length off the tee. The course is beautifully woven into the rolling hills of the region, creating a flowing layout where accuracy matters far more than raw distance. The fairways don't sit still for long and the greens have plenty of movement, so you'll want to be dialled in with your yardages. It's the sort of course that keeps you engaged from the first tee because every hole asks a slightly different question.
What sets Alamos apart from many Algarve courses is the backdrop. Instead of coastal views, you're treated to striking panoramas of the Monchique Mountains, giving the round a distinctly inland feel with big skies, mountain views and rolling ground underfoot. The design requires precision off the tee and smart course management around the greens. Keep it in play and you'll score.
Alamos forms part of an excellent three-course rotation alongside Morgado and Salgados. Base yourself in Portimão and you can line up Alamos with Morgado and Salgados without burning time in the minibus, perfect for groups who'd rather be on the tee than on the motorway. Morgado Golf & Country Club is the standout base for this area, offering comfortable accommodation and easy access to all three courses.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want an inland Algarve round with proper movement in the fairways and greens, plus standout Monchique Mountain views.
Who is it best for?
Mid-handicappers and better who like plotting their way round, and groups building a three-course Portimão base with Morgado Golf & Country Club as the hub.

The 6,600 yard layout was formulated by the highly regarded European Golf Design association, and while the course is relatively open from the tee, its large greens are extremely tricky. The enormous putting surfaces are noted for their severe slopes, and are guarded by treacherous bunkers.
The raised greens play havoc with club selection, while Alamos is also punctuated with a number of hazardous water features; in fact, the course is formulated around three large lakes, which provide both excitement and aesthetic beauty. Alamos has received much praise in its short time on the Algarve, and is a real pleasure to enjoy during a holiday in this golfing paradise.
Signature Hole: Hole 9, Par 3, 190 yards, SI 11
The par 3 9th hole is indicative of the test it presents, with a small but undulating green surrounded by tricky mounding and hazards.

The best out of the three for me. Stunningly beautiful and fun to play especially as we were able to get out as a two ball!

Some areas of the course were looking a little tired but the greens were emasculate and were fast! The views around the course were great!
