Pinhal Vilamoura

8.6
Very Good See all 531 reviews

The Pinhal Course rolls across the gentle hills of Vilamoura and is the second-oldest layout in the resort. Like the Old Course Vilamoura, it was designed by Frank Pennink and opened in 1976, with Robert Trent Jones making notable refinements in 1985 that helped it hold its place as one of the Algarve's best-known rounds.

You'll find Pinhal close to the heart of Vilamoura, so it's a cracking option for groups who want a proper round without disappearing into the depths of the Algarve. The course winds through mature umbrella pines and brings gentle elevation changes into play, with water hazards appearing often enough to keep you thinking from the tee. In my opinion, it's at its best when you lean on accuracy and course management rather than trying to overpower it.

It's no surprise Pinhal has long been a favourite among returning golfers. Less exposed than some clifftop tracks further west, it can also be a smart shout when the breeze gets up, and the conditioning is typically strong throughout the year. If you're building a multi-round break in Portugal, Pinhal is an easy, high-quality add-on with minimal travel time from the marina and hotel strip.

Who is this for?
Golfers who want a classic, tree-lined Vilamoura round that's close to the marina, hotels and the post-golf options.

Who is it best for?
Mixed groups and mid-to-low handicappers who enjoy plotting your way round, plus repeat Algarve visitors looking to add a proven resort favourite.

Pinhal Course

The predominant character of the course comes as a result of the rolling landscape that is heavily populated by Umbrella and Atlantic Pines. These trees are frequently obstacles to the visiting golfer, while there are also streams and a lake that can be decidedly tricky.

To keep up with the advancements in golf technology, the Pinhal recently lengthened a number of holes, and the resultant 6,947 yards is a genuine pleasure to play during a golf escape in the popular resort town.

Beautiful course. Tight holes at the start for wayward golfers but then it opens up and is more forgiving. Our favourite course of the three.
