DO NOT PLAY THIS COURSE UNTIL AT LEAST 2025!!! Very disappointed with this course. The clubhouse was being heavily renovated so it s building site - a hut outside doubles as the reception and shop. The greenkeeper got something horribley wrong with the greens and ruined them for this year. They were re-turfed in some places and very bumpy and sandy. 16 of the 18 pins were at the front to try and keep golfers away from the damaged area. The staff were good - very apologetic for the mess - half price buggies and a free drink.

We originally booked Monte Rei but were told late on that it was not available due to maintenance. On discussing with YGT we agreed to substitute with VdL Old Course. Unbeknown to us, there was no clubhouse as it was being renovated so no lunch available before our journey to the airport. There was no TV therefore to watch the England match and there were a few greens and fairways under repair/looking very sad. In this condition we felt this was mis-sold to us as it was an expensive round . Finally and this has happened with YGT on a couple of trips now but the bus on the final day, despite us telling them and YGT in advance that we would have ALL our bags as going to the airport after golf, they turned up with cars which were not able to cope with all our luggage. Fortunately we were able to squash things in to the passengers areas so nothing was left behind but it is not what I needed as organiser on the final morning.

What is usually our favourite course in the area was let down by an incredibly slow round. The course was packed. We tend to walk the Old Course as it is a course to be savoured at first hand, rather than just drive up in a buggy and hit the ball. The course itself was good and great to play. The only negative is some holes are affected by trees which have matured and cut across the course. This is exemplified by the 13th hole which has been put out of shape by trees blocking the tee shot and also the approach.

A heavily tree lined course with umbrella pines which leap out and grab any wayward ball! Course in good condition and good service in the clubhouse. The shuttle service to the Vilamoura courses is rather haphazard. You request the transfer at the hotel reception 90 minutes before your tee time. You get picked up anything from 10 minutes to 35 minutes later. All the other courses provide transfers at agreed times.

This was the standout course of our trip (Millenium, Pinhal & Old Course) beautiful course and a decent challenge for all level of golfers. Some stunning tee shots, well kept fairways and fairly quick greens. Some delay on each tee but nothing too bad. For me definitely the pick of the Dom Pedro courses, would highly recommend.

this is a must to play if you are in the area, it's a proper golf course and we were looked after from the start to finish, the course was in amazing condition, the staff who set us up from the caddies to the starter, all fantastic, the greens were all excellent and true, and a beautiful course to look at as well as play. One of our group had reservations before we played due to the cost, but after the round apologies and said it was the best money he had spent on a golf course.
