Vale do Lobo Royal Golf Course

Vale do Lobo Royal Golf Course, located in the idyllic setting of Vale do Lobo in the Algarve region of Portugal, is an 18-hole championship course that shares a close connection with its sibling, the Ocean Course. Created by the legendary Sir Henry Cotton and Rocky Roquemore in 1997, the Royal course presents a series of engaging challenges, gradually building up to the climactic eighteenth hole. This skilfully planned layout blends existing holes from the original Vale do Lobo Course with intriguing new additions.

One iconic part of the course, the Par 3 seventh hole from its early days, has been reimagined as the breathtaking sixteenth on the redesigned course. The course’s finale, the eighteenth hole, is a cunning test with a narrow fairway and deceptive green that will challenge even the most experienced golfers.

Vale do Lobo Royal also offers a robust selection of facilities, including a putting green, a chipping green, a practice net, a pro shop, a swimming pool, and a tennis academy. There are also multiple restaurants and bars for golfers to relax and recharge. To accommodate guests’ needs, equipment rentals, including buggies and clubs, are readily available.

The course sees a considerable proportion of its golfers returning for another round. It is busiest during the spring, and quieter in the winter. Many golfers at Vale do Lobo Royal also take the opportunity to play other local courses, including Vale do Lobo Ocean, Old Course, Victoria, Millennium, and Vila Sol, all located in Vilamoura. Vale do Lobo Royal Golf Course is managed by Vale do Lobo.
