Vilamoura Golf – A New Identity for a Timeless Destination

Vilamoura’s renowned golf courses have entered an exciting new chapter with a fresh identity under the Vilamoura Golf brand. Previously known as Dom Pedro Golf, this rebranding aligns with Vilamoura, the overarching brand that unites the region’s offerings—accommodation, gastronomy, sports, and real estate—creating a seamless and recognizable destination experience. This transformation reflects a strategic vision to strengthen Vilamoura’s position as one of Europe’s premier golf locations.

With this evolution, the four iconic courses—Old Course, Pinhal, Millennium, and Laguna—now showcase distinct new logos that embody their individual character while reinforcing their connection under the Vilamoura Golf umbrella. While the Els Club Vilamoura remains a part of the destination’s golf portfolio, it continues to operate under its own independent brand, ensuring a diverse range of golfing experiences.

For those looking to experience the best of Vilamoura Golf, Tee Times Golf Agency offers exclusive access to competitive green fees. With expert knowledge, more than 30 years of premium service, and seamless booking, securing your next round in Vilamoura has never been easier or more rewarding.

Whether you’re a seasoned golfer or simply looking for a memorable day on the greens, Tee Times Golf Agency is your trusted partner in unlocking the very best of Vilamoura’s newly rebranded golf courses.

Old Course: A Legacy Reinvented
Since 1969

With a distinguished history dating back to 1969, the Old Course is the crown jewel of Vilamoura’s golfing heritage. As part of the rebranding, it now features an elegant monogram combining its initials (OC)—a refined symbol that honors its legacy while embracing a modern aesthetic. Known for its championship pedigree and timeless layout, the Old Course continues to offer an exquisite and highly exclusive golf experience, further enhanced by recent investments in premium facilities and service.

Alamos Golf Course: Our Experience Playing at this Hidden Gem in the Algarve

Posted on by

Nestled within the breathtaking landscapes of NAU Morgado Golf & Country Club, Alamos Golf Course offers a perfect blend of challenge and serenity. With stunning views of the Monchique mountains, tranquil lakes, and lush farmland, this par-71, 18-hole course demands precision and skill. The relatively short layout is tricky, as its undulating greens and clever design make every hole a strategic test. The course’s technical demands and picturesque setting will captivate golfers of all levels.

This week, Carlos Ferreira, CEO and founder of Tee Times Golf Agency, played at Alamos Golf Course and shared his thoughts on the experience.

“I played at Alamos and was genuinely impressed by the care and dedication the management has shown in maintaining the course. Their attention to detail has elevated the golfing experience to a level comparable to some of the top courses in the Algarve, creating a truly remarkable and memorable round of golf. Despite being relatively short from the amateur tees, Alamos is anything but easy. It features some of the trickiest greens in Portugal, where finding a straight line is a rare luxury. And if the greens are rolling at 10 on the Stimpmeter, you better be ready for some three-putts! The challenge certainly keeps you engaged throughout the round.”

Alamos Golf Course: an Unforgettable Challenge
