Golf in Portugal

Vale do lobo Ocean course

Vale do lobo Ocean course

We played yesterday at Vale do Lobo Ocean course on a hot day, but a sea breeze made it very pleasant.

We were 18 players of various nationalities, Portuguese, English, French, Swedish, Scottish and Irish, it is worth mentioning these last two nationalities.

The golf course was in perfect condition, with some greens that were fast and smooth but soft at the reception of the ball, a pleasure to play.

The course is long and has miscellaneous holes, the front nine being played in the north and west part of the resort and the back nine next to the Atlantic, which provides breath taking views and allows for some shots with the murmur of the sea in your ear. It is worth paying attention to the spectacular views on holes 11, 14 and 15. Very good.

The winner this day was Ian Godfrey with 38 points, followed by Fraser Graham with 33pt, and in 3rd 2 players with 30pt Jim Gillis and Peter Collins. Nearest the pin, on 13th, a narrow green well protected by deep bunkers was won by David Ziai, who placed the ball 3 meters from the flag.

We all return to our usual Restaurant in Vilamoura for some drinks and our free nibbles generously offered by João Filipe. Another day well spent.

“This is a golf course. Absolutely, without question, one of the most well laid out, challenging and beautiful courses in Europe. Every time we pulled up to the next tee box was a wow moment looking down the next fairway. There is no signature hole, they are all pretty much amazing. This course might beat you up a little first time playing it with so many unexpected and unforeseen trouble spots to challenge every club in your bag but you will still walk away with a smile. First time I ever played it today and I got my butt kicked, but I will never miss an opportunity to play this course again, ever.” – Jim G.
