Have always wanted to play this course (having been rained off previously) and the fantastic views didn’t disappoint - unfortunately most other things did. We were meant to play here twice but the course cancelled our first booking. At short notice they then moved our tee times forward an hour for our second booking. We had buggies booked but when we got there we were advised that there were none showing as booked for us and they had none available. Despite showing evidence that they were booked and Your Golf, at my request, phoning them to confirm, we were simply told ‘hard luck’. The member of staff showed no sympathy, no concern (for a group of 60 year olds on a very hilly course in the midday sun) and didn’t even try to find a single buggy for the player with a hip replacement. Really unhelpful and uncaring. There was a drinks cart but it didn’t turn up until we’d nearly finished and then it only served one group and completely ignored the group behind. The clubhouse was nowhere near the 18th green, which didn’t help, and the service in the clubhouse was unimpressive. Great views, OK course, poor organisation and disappointing service. Wouldn’t go back.
Perched above the sands of Meia Beach on Portugal’s spectacular southern coast is Palmares, considered by some to be the finest jewel in the Algarve’s golfing crown. This epic layout features a fantastic mix of both links and parkland style holes, making all three loops of nine holes well worth playing.
Palmares is located just outside the historic town of Lagos, putting it close to many of the Algarves great courses. Regardless of the other golf clubs you visit, Palmares is a must-play, having hosted a number of prestigious amateur and professional events, it is a top 10 course in Portugal and top 40 in Continental Europe.
