Ocean Course at Vale do Lobo Resort
Faro, Portugal
(164 reviews)
Vale do Lobo Ocean Course overview
The Ocean Golf Course at Vale do Lobo is one of the most scenic golf courses in Portugal, offering spectacular cliff-top views of the Atlantic Ocean. With fairways that wind through pine, olive, and eucalyptus trees before running down to the coastline, it provides a unique combination of natural beauty and golfing challenge.
The course is famed for its undulating fairways and coastal location. Starting inland beside a nature reserve, the course gradually descends toward the Atlantic shoreline, treating golfers to panoramic sea views from multiple holes. The layout rewards accuracy over power, making it an excellent test for golfers of all levels.
Set against the dramatic Algarve coastline, this course is a must-play for anyone looking to combine championship-standard golf with breathtaking scenery.
Signature Holes
The 15th hole on the Ocean Course is a stunning par 3 that rivals the Royal Course’s famous 16th. Measuring 192 metres from the back tees, it requires precision and confidence, all while offering one of the most spectacular ocean views in European golf.

Our experts say...
" Prefer this course to the Royal. Some cracking holes along the coast line and some great par 3's make this a course well worth playing. Not many houses around the course either."

Fantastic day of golf from arriving at golf reception on the clubhouse to the post golf drinks. Some stunningly beautiful golf holes and of course that was in great condition.

Was really surprised with the condition of this course...we'd played it before and whilst it had been good previously this occasion it was in great condition. And we all preferred it to the Royal which we played the following day. Can we say that from a clubhouse perspective this is by far the best clubhouse we've experienced in Villamoura however the problem lies with how rushed the experience is - we were dropped off with just 30 minutes before our first tee time and picked up 30 minutes after our last fourball came in - it would be much better to have more time before and after the round to enjoy the facilities at the clubhouse.
