Dom Pedro Laguna Golf Course has earned a reputation as being a somewhat unique offering within the Vilamoura golf portfolio. While it has many water hazards, it truly finds its individuality in the number of holes which convey characteristics of a traditional costal links layout. Again great care was taken in the design to offer a challenge for all levels of golfer. American golf course architect Joseph Lee was given the responsibility for setting out Dom Pedro Laguna Course over low-lying coastal terrain, and in this setting was able to establish 18 holes which offer a wide variety of playing conditions. The course has been continually improved since the first ball was struck in 1990, although it retains all of the appeal of a modern test of golf, through which the strategic positioning of bunkers and a number of water obstacles demand accuracy of play. Dom Pedro Laguna Golf Course shares a well-proportioned and welcoming clubhouse with the neighbouring Millennium Golf Course.

In the heart of Vilamoura lies the Grande Dame of Algarve courses, Dom Pedro Old Course Golf Club. As one of the first-established layouts in the region, the Frank Pennink-design is well regarded throughout the golfing world. Although it is but a mere 20-minute drive from Faro Airport, the course finds itself situated amongst impressive pine trees and set out over gently undulating terrain. There can be no argument that, for all who are lucky enough to play here, this is a golf course that lives long in the memory. The layout is timeless, pure Portuguese golf at its best. Full of charm and umbrella pine trees lined fairways, golfers are awarded for accuracy throughout the course and world class green design to test every player.The modernisation programme preserved the challenge of this magnificent layout for future generations and raised the quality of Dom Pedro Old Course Golf Club to new heights. An attractive new clubhouse and the putting green adjacent were the finishing touches to this renovation in the final years of the last millennium and still add much to the golfer’s experience.As with all Dom Pedro Golf courses, detailed management systems ensure compliance with environmental protection and quality practices are strictly enforced and adopted.

At the time of creation, Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course was hailed as the most ambitious golf project Portugal had ever witnessed. Designed by true golfing legend, Arnold Palmer, there is absolutely no doubt that it has lived up to that lofty billing.

Covering some 90 hectares, the venue encompasses one of the most complete golf complexes in Europe, and features an exceptional driving range and a putting green of some 2,500 m2. All of this has made it the obvious venue of choice for many of the top international tournaments to visit Portugal in recent times. Indeed, it has served as host to one of the European Tour flagship events, the Portugal Masters, on every occasion since 2007, while the World Cup Championship was staged there in 2005. The Par-72 Championship layout, measuring 6.651 meters (7,273 yards), incorporates and has ensured the preservation of natural wetlands on-site, as well as the typical vegetation of carob, olive and almond trees. A significant proportion of Dom Pedro Victoria Golf Course’s acreage is occupied by lakes, forming hazards to be avoided but which also have a strategic purpose in providing reservoirs for irrigation.  Water and undulationg fairways play a big part of the 17th and 18th holes which are testament to the fantastic design.Although the course is designed to championship standard, much thought was taken in designing different tees to accommodate every level of golfer.  The clever design of the course makes every hole from any tee incorporate all the potential and well positioned hazards creating a world class test of golf.
