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.
