Venue

Vale do Lobo

Almancil, Faro, Portugal

Vale do Lobo features two championship 18-hole golf courses located in the Algarve, Portugal. The Ocean Course comprises two original nine-hole courses designed by Sir Henry Cotton, characterized by challenging Par 4s at holes 11 and 14 with spectacular ocean views, and a signature Par 3 at the 15th running alongside the beach. The Royal Course, recognized as one of Portugal's most prestigious layouts, is notable for its island green at the 9th hole and the famous 16th—a dramatic cliff-top Par 3 with a 180-yard-plus carry over a ravine, one of Europe's most photographed holes. The 17th also provides a thrilling tee shot completing the course's signature stretch. Both courses offer scenic natural settings with ocean views and challenging hole designs. The resort hosts annual tournaments including Foursomes Week, established since 1983, and Amateur Week, held in late January, attracting golfers of all skill levels to compete in the spectacular Algarve landscape.
