The Old Course is among the Algarve's most established resort layouts and is often described as the ‘Grand Dame' of the region, having been inaugurated in 1969. Found in Vilamoura, in the heart of the Algarve’s stunning southern coast, this Frank Pennink-design is well regarded throughout the golfing world and is guaranteed to live long in the memory of those lucky enough to play here.
The attractive resort layout winds through the impressive pine trees that make the landscape so special, and the crafty layout makes full use of the natural terrain to provide a terrific test of golf. The signature par 4 16th hole doglegs to the left, calling for an accurate drive to ensure your second shot isn't blocked out by the surrounding trees. The Old Course will test better players while still being fair enough on the higher handicappers.
