Great place to play golf

Chris Lenzin 2024-09-30
Perfect Day of golf. Best conditions for fairways and greens. Nice layout and challenging.

Rebecca Binggeli 2024-09-24
Had to wait at every teebox. Sometimes three flights on a par 4. it‘s very annoying like this. The course conditions were ok-good.

Maurice Rogers 2024-09-24
Unfortunately the quality of this course has deteriorated and is in need of some restoration. In its current state it is not worth the green fee.

Dean Leslie Chappell 2024-09-19
Golf course overbooked. Need more gaps between tee-times to avoid 5+ hour rounds. Course conditions were generally OK but looking very tired cosmetically. Slow service in clubhouse.

Gavin Louer 2024-08-12

Richard Turner 2024-02-28

Paul Mullane 2024-02-24

Alain Cardoso 2024-02-18
Good course conditions and excellent services and facilities

Paul Toner 2024-02-17
Course was very busy - almost 5 hour round. Nothing you guys can do about it. Great course but very tricky green's. Good day overall.

Michael Schwarz 2024-02-09
The course was in great condition, unfortunately there was no space on the driving range and we had to wait for the cart until shortly before the start.

Paulo 2024-01-18
Great course with beautiful surroundings. Lots of water and challenging views. very enjoyable.

Phil Ridley 2024-01-18
Nice clubhouse and helpful staff. Golf Buggy’s clean and well prepared. Tee Boxes and Greens in excellent condition, despite recent weather. No yardage or meterage achieved on overhead buggy screens Waterlogged buggy paths and bunkers expected after heavy overnight rain.

Ruud Verberne 2024-01-18
Played for the first time this course. I love it !

Andrew Gerrard 2024-01-18
Enjoyable experience. Not enough car park spaces

Marcel M. Hopman 2024-01-07
Lovely course to play.

Deb Reynolds 2023-12-28
Enjoyed the round, the greens were very quick and nearly all the flags were on the front which made for tricky club selection. Also the Tees hadn't been cut so were very woolly. Good service, staff very polite, buggy clean, round took a little over 4 hours.

Pascal Plichta 2023-12-09
Un très beau parcours. -**- A beautiful journey.

Niall O Shea 2023-12-07
Staff in the Resturant were excellent, the course was in good condition but the bunkers are a disgrace, no sand at all and the base liner is coming through, how can it be so difficult to put sand in the bunkers

Guy Aubery 2023-11-20
J’ai adoré ce terrain. Les verts étaient très rapides donc il a fallu s’adapter. Bon challenge et ce sera un plaisir d’y retourner. -**- I loved this course. The greens were very fast so we had to adapt. Good challenge and it will be a pleasure to go back.

Tomas Daul 2023-11-16
Teetimes.pt always perfect service

Stephen Richard Copley 2023-11-11
Course was very user friendly, nice wide fairways, but some very challenging holes on the back 9, which are a great test

Mark Boon 2023-11-07
We had a great day on the course. Generally it was in Good condition some bunkers had a lack of sand and were not the best. The buggies were complimentary but were not very good they stank of diesel and were very slow. That said we will come back it’s a great layout and good fun. The bar is one of the more expensive we have used in the Algarve.

Achim Reith 2023-10-27
Very friendly personnel. Course in very good condition.

Stuart Robinson 2023-10-27
Amendoeira always provides a consistent quality every time we visit the Algarve. A few things to note this year though....no range balls in the machine however this was quickly resolved by the team and free balls handed out to all those waiting. Wild Boars have/are tearing up certain areas of the course. The greens had not been cut or the dew whiffed away the morning we played which was disappointing and we never saw the refreshments cart during the 5hr round. The O'Connor was in OK condition which in hindsight was much better than way more expensive courses we played later that week. A solid 7/10 and a good addition to any golf trip.

Marc Luthi 2023-10-26
Great golf course, but no clubhouse!

Brigitte Müller 2023-10-22
it takes to much time, to much waiting time. Service at the reception of the golf club not friendly at all. And nowadays you have to bring your gofbag down to the buggies youself and it is quiet a walk to go there. Very bad service. Food in the restaurant and service is not good anymore. One can feel the new management of the whole thing and it is not positive.

Euan Esslemont 2023-10-17
Course was nice, but affected by lack of water. Good facilities.

Lauermann Andreas 2023-10-17
A nice course in very good condition

Adrian Brooks 2023-10-17
Good fair course.

Daniel Wyss 2023-10-13
A spacious course in good condition. Certainly number 2 compared to the partner course and also a bit easier to play.

Paul Tolley 2023-10-06
Good service in all areas. Good course but tees and especially bunkers were poor.

peter brewster 2023-10-05
Very friendly welcome had a good day of golf

Dan Bodalen 2023-09-25
Very good

Craig Betts 2023-09-22
Excellent course in excellent condition.

Andrew Slavin 2023-09-14
Superb course, in great condition. Good facilities. Used their pick up facility which worked a treat today. Top notch

Anthony Creedon 2023-09-14
The course has gone down in the last few years since I played it last. Tee boxes were in very poor condition overgrown with weeds. With scutch grass growing through the normal grass. Fairways fair and greens not too bad. Overall it is not up to standard. Clubhouse and general staff a bit nonchalant. Overall I wont be back to either Faldo or o'Connor and I would not recommend either at the price.

Ian Beattie 2023-08-28
Course, greens and tees to a high standard, was the best of the 4 courses we played, one negative was the beer was off, unusually for us no-one finished their pint

Christine Wehrle 2023-08-13
Many thanks, the people are very friendly

Marc Thys 2023-07-22
Greens in excellent condition. Poor tee areas. Course maintenance not great. Very nice clubhouse, good club sandwiches.

Stephane Castella 2023-07-19
Fairways and greens in good condition but tee box in pretty bad shape. I liked the course (1st visit) and would consider playing there again. GPS on buggy was not working and it seems the case on all buggies. Quite a shame.

Theresa Westgard 2023-07-18
Worked very well. No issues

Stewart Thorpe 2023-07-14
Still a very good course and we both loved playing it

Chris Fortescue 2023-07-06
Great course - well maintained and good variation. Will definitely visit again!

Raymond Moore 2023-07-05
This course is a great test of golf & once again presented in superb condition. Congratulations to all the staff on their efforts to allow us feel so much ????

Tony Gill 2023-07-05
Best course played on this Algarve trip. Some excellent holes to challenge people with various hazards to consider. Sand in the bunkers unlike other courses so a lot easier to play out of. The food and beer afterwards where very nice. Good value buffet breakfast before hand at 15 euros.

Michael millership 2023-07-05
Great course friendly staff hassle free

Chris Bax 2023-07-05
Nice track. Flat, very playable. Greens a bit slow but good

Michael Bradwell 2023-07-02
Really nice course. Every hole was different and gave a nice challenge. Very enjoyable.

Roger Moyse 2023-06-18
Very impressive course and facilities.

Ian Godfrey 2023-06-15
One of my favourite courses and only half an hour away from Vilamoura. This time it was a shame the practice range was closed and the course is rather dry at the moment.

Gordon Fleming 2023-06-15
A good testing course, today was not so busy so speed of play was good, nice condition.

Justin Harper 2023-06-15
A tricky track with a proper halfway house and a great clubhouse!

Niall O Shea 2023-06-14
Fabulous course, such a challenge but the bunkers could do with a little attention.

Gareth Toms 2023-06-13
The course and greens were excellent but some of the bunkers were poor

Dr. Klaus Grossmann 2023-06-13
Very nice course, very well maintained

John Brouwer 2023-06-10
The course is nice and well maintained but it took us more than 5 hours to complete our round. No Marshall on the course to speed up to groups of slow playing youngsters in front of us

Neil Elliott 2023-06-04
Green’s excellent a bit tired elsewhere

antonio rosado 2023-06-01
Very nice

Mark Mackenzie 2023-05-24
Good service at clubhouse, course in good nick

Brian Trenbirth 2023-05-16
Great course and super quick greens

Ronald Hawkins 2023-05-09
The was a beautiful course and so well maintained. We had a great time playing this spectacular course.

Mark Wilkinson 2023-05-07
Typical resort course, not one you would play weekly

Sacha Joanne Haken 2023-05-04
Excellent, well maintained and well spaced out course. Marshall ensured pace of play was maintained. Nice snack bar and toilets after first 9. Would absolutely play again!

Cliff Morgan 2023-05-03
Course in very good condition and a good challenge!

Dave Thompson 2023-04-29
Very nice course will plenty of interesting holes that make you think. Would love to play it again

Michael FitzPatrick 2023-04-25
Good toughwell designed and mintained golf course everyone in the group liked it. Service attitude of staff not good. The admin staff were fine at checkin. The restaurant sfaff did not show any interest in good service.

Aili Wells 2023-04-15
Enjoyed the course very much. The description in the golf magazine about water on the course and tricky greens scared us somewhat, but we did not find it so difficult. However, we were very dissappointed to be charged 8€ plus €2 for a vodka and soda. Found out they served us Grey Goose for the mixed drink. Never before have we been charged separately for the vodka and soda........and never before Grey Goose for a mixed drink. We felt taken advantage of. We are playing the Faldo course next week. Looking forward to that, but will be sure to make sure we check our drink orders beforehand.

Duncan Stirling 2023-04-14
Great course in good condition.

Jean-Louis Thiébaut 2023-04-14
I did not not like it. To difficult. You have to be very long to get on the fairways even from the red tees. I was injured on the tee 2….

Rachel Milne 2023-04-13
A fantastic golf course but so difficult, would love to play a few team games now and again.

Alistair Smith 2023-04-13
One of my favourite courses but the bunkers were in very poor condition hard packed with very little sand. Also no bag drop facility which used to be available here

Cameron Milne 2023-04-12
Great day out I will conquer this course maybe not soon but I will Looking forward to out next outings with Chez Carlos in May

Neil Rodgerson 2023-04-12
Wonderful course. Greens great, but the bunkers are the same as the Faldo. Desperate for some attention. Letting the courses down badly.

Louise Jackspon 2023-04-11
Great hospitality, great condition course , tricky and a good challenge

Martin Punch 2023-04-09
Great club house and challenging course. Very slow round with some players walking the course and little knowledge of the rules of golf

Gert Mentens 2023-04-04
Booking was fine. Course was great. All was super.

Jim Lewis 2023-04-03
The course is very nice, with a good mix of holes. Fairly wide landing areas on most holes. Greens were in good shape and rolled nicely. Only downside was the bunkers could use some more sand….pretty hard pan under a small layer of loose sand.

Gregory Mackay 2023-04-02
Only comment is tee boxes very shabby

Paul Heffernan 2023-04-02
Poor driving range experience and buggies only 10 minutes before tee time

Mr Herbert Keil 2023-03-25
Perfect greens but really Bad Tee Boxes

Lauermann Andreas 2023-03-24
A great course in better condition than Faldo

Tomas Daul 2023-03-19
Perfect greens, need more care for tees

Paul Bailey 2023-03-15
Great course. Client care is dreadful

Paul Wyatt 2023-03-14
Totally different to the Faldo course, more Florida like with water features everywhere, greens were very fast, overall in better condition than Faldo, round in 4 hours with few delays which was nice, marshalls in evidence to keep things moving. Could walk it but glad I didn't.

Thomas Braemer-Jensen 2023-03-01
Greens and tees are nice, but fairways are in very bad shape atm

Gareth Voyle 2023-02-18
Everywhere we have been on the Algarve people are so friendly - not so at Amendoeira! Why are the staff here so miserable? Course very good again though

Norma askew 2023-01-30
Course in great condition greensxa little slow but great day out

Kevin Burke 2023-01-27
Frost delayed things but greens very fast and true

Eamonn Cormican 2023-01-27
great forgiving course

Philippe Pineau 2023-01-20
O’Connor Jnr course is in good condition. Except for the bunkers: Need sand and rakes. Parking full, had to park very far from clubhouse. The ladies were not happy the toilet between holes 5 and 6 was locked.

Barry Whittles 2023-01-13
Perfect course in great condition & clubhouse team brilliant

Kinkel Dagmar 2023-01-13
wunderful day

Eric Deprey 2023-01-04
Not enough sand in the bunkers

Michael 2023-01-02
Playing golf under the bright sun of the Algarve beats the cold UK every day of the week.

Ronald Hartley 2022-12-30
Good, everyone courteous and very helpful. Booking worked well. Unfortunately greens had recently been toned but accept they have to be maintained. Even so the ball rolled reasonably well and didn’t spoil the experience.

Kinkel Dagmar 2022-12-23
very good course. we like it.

Dennis McDonagh 2022-12-22
Easy booking and they fixed my booking date error very quickly so I could golf the day I intended to.

Paul Thomson 2022-12-04
very good

Philippe Pineau 2022-12-02
Amendoeira O’Connor is a nice course with good practice facilities. However, be aware the driving range close at 12h sharp. Even if you still have half a dozen balls to hit, the range attendant will not allow you and take the balls away! Currently you cannot hit from the grass, only from the mat, where you can’t use a tee.

Paul Mullane 2022-12-01
This is the 7 time I played this course this year 2022 and it just gets better each time the staff are very helpful and friendly played it on the 1st of December 2022 at a knock down price of €67 per person €134 for 2 persons and got the buggy free the greens were in perfect condition and the best I played in Portugal this year. Thanks Paul.

Kevin Harrington 2022-12-01
What a challenging, fantastic course. You need your best game to master the variety of holes on offer

Kevin Harrington 2022-11-30

Steve Grant 2022-11-30
Very good course in good condition. Greens were excellent.

Santy Boungnavong 2022-11-23
Parcours technique et challenging. -**- Technical and challenging course.

Brigitte Junker 2022-11-20
Nice course, good to play

William Cooper 2022-11-17
The course is great but some of the staff are unhelpful and grumpy.

William Cooper 2022-11-17
The course is great but some of the staff are unhelpful and grumpy.

JohnRice 2022-11-14
Superb course , lots of challenges but also wide fairways to enjoy, welcoming golf reception and bar , with decent club sandwiches! Buggies all ready and paperwork no drama

Andrew Finnie 2022-11-13
I had not played this course in many years, top class…

Dietmar Bohnenstengel 2022-11-06
In Former years the Course was in a netter condition

Tony 2022-11-06
We loved it. A very interesting and challenging course in excellent condition

Thomas Ewald 2022-11-06
Perfect conditions an very friendly stuff.

James Betts 2022-11-05
Excellent course really enjoyed the course, 4hrs 20 mins to play is a bit on the slow side for me but very acceptable. Will play again. Greens very true and of good speed

Mr Andrew Batstone 2022-11-04
Having played the course previously I knew what to expect and it didn't disappoint

Mark Deverell 2022-11-03
Good course and very well looked after from arrival to the 19th green, one of the best in that regard. Fairways and greens brilliant, tight and fast. Probably worth considering playing off the whites as the yellows were a long way forward when we played. Pace of play good as well.

John Stanley 2022-10-28
Very good golf course and lovely club house .

John Haughey 2022-10-24
An excellent course. Glad we had the included buggies.

John Barron 2022-10-24
Very enjoyable round of golf on a good course and the staff were very helpful too.

Mark Schmitz 2022-10-24
Long waiting time (50 minutes) before start cause of not enough buggies :-(

Thomas Ewald 2022-10-23
8 from 10 only because of the bunkers- it‘s no Sand in it, so can‘t play a normal bunkershot All the other things are perfect and the course is in a greate shape

Andrew Simner 2022-10-22
Lovely course, loads of water... trouble to get buggies if tee time after 11. Am

David Coleman 2022-10-22
An early start but the course was excellent. A very good experience.

Lauermann Andreas 2022-10-17
Always a great place to be

Gerry McKenna 2022-10-11
GAME QUITE SLOW

Ian Steele 2022-10-06
The course is a very good test, especially the back 9. Course in great condition tees, fairways and greens. Absolutely no complaints

David Brown 2022-09-15
Excellent layout and quite testing. We really enjoyed it. Bar staff were not really at the top of their game though.

Steve Threader 2022-09-13
Fairways and greens in good shape but the surrounding areas were really poorly kept

Steve Graham 2022-09-12
Good challenge, greens good, tee boxes a little tired

Brendan Forde 2022-09-08
Not many negatives on these courses. Staff where very good ..

Paul Fletcher 2022-09-05
very nice course and alot more forgiving than the faldo overall very enjoyable would definitly play again

Callum Campbell 2022-09-01
Course in great condition and greens running nice a fast. Only 2 criticisms - the GPS on the buggies didn’t show yardages and the beer buggy only came by once during the round (after 8 holes), but she explained she was servicing both courses. Would definitely play again.

Neil Brady 2022-08-29
Bus collection in the morning was 20 minutes late and had to make a few phone call, but the course itself was superb.

Aart-Jan Smit 2022-08-09
Great service, beautifull course. Really enjoyed a great round of golf with the family.

Eammon Ryan 2022-08-02
Great course. Well laid out and a fair test of golf.

Very enjoyable round. Course in excellent condition!

Gary Armstrong 2022-07-19

Paul Mullane 2022-07-18
The course was in very good condition the staff were excellent and very friendly I could not fault it in any way top marks 5 star

Paul Stevens 2022-07-17
Our third visit here. Good quality course and a nice easy starter.

Stuart Montgomery 2022-07-02
Vastly improved condition since last played in January. Greens predominantly true with just a few patches on a few greens where they need further growth. Clubhouse facilities were the expected standard for a complex of this stature.

Gareth Toms 2022-06-27
Great course, good condition

Rob Webb 2022-06-26
Course is in good condition. Well maintained. Some tricky holes make for an interesting round.

Liz Scully 2022-06-26
Excellent course

Joe Egan 2022-06-25
Very enjoyable day at Amendoeira O'connor Jnr course today.

Nigel Lander 2022-06-25
Wonderful day out, good company, challenging course and a lovely sunny day with a little breeze to keep the temperature down..

David Stubbings 2022-06-23
Course good tees a bit scruffy

J.P. Visser 2022-06-20
Lovely course. Very long as specialy when the wind is aganst you. Greens where slow but in good condition

Roland Streule 2022-05-31
Looks somehow run-down. Lack of maintenance. Impolite service.

John Tiles 2022-05-27
O’Connor course nice relaxing game but still with its challenges but a great course

Douglas Glover 2022-05-24
Great day at Amondiera

Adrian Brown 2022-05-22
Good breakfast and greens very good but tees need cutting and bunkers not well maintained

Barbara McGuinness 2022-05-11
Loved the course in top condition

nguyen phuong loan 2022-05-05
nice course

William Robertson 2022-05-02
Beautiful course, helpful, pleasant staff(especially the starter) but let down by incorrectly programmed satnav on buggy. Stuck for an hour on hole 15 on O’ Connor course with buggy refusing to go forward on buggy path and no alternative route possible. Hence 5 and a half hour round, lost all rhythm and the Will to live.

Ronan Doyle 2022-05-02
Super course. Bunkers could do with softer sand but excellent otherwise

richard turner 2022-04-22
Very slow round. Greens good but rest of course a bit scruffy compared to the past. No club pick up now.

Adrian Fraser Jones 2022-04-22
Really enjoyed the course

Arno Sinjewel 2022-04-21
Gert good

John Ormsby 2022-04-13
Stunning

Mr Nigel Blake 2022-03-31
Nice course, very flat. not as good as the Faldo.

Ray Duke 2022-03-25
The golf course was great and we had no issues with the voucher. Greens were great but March 10 seems a little early for prime time rates as the fairways and rough are still dormant.

Dr. Lauermann Andreas 2022-03-22
A nice golf course in good condition.

Robert Burgess 2022-03-01
Another fantastic course, can’t wait to come back and play it again. Great condition

Mathew Geertsen 2022-02-26
Nice course to practice your game

John Morrissey 2022-02-21
Very good

Christiane Jacobsen 2022-01-27
A nice course, but a lot of parts could be maintained better. Covid situation is hard for everybody but certainly it looks like money is running out.

Adrianus van Os 2022-01-24
It was not very pleasant. Our two ball took 4 hours and 52 minutes. It is a pleasant course but they really should expedite and govern speed of play.

Christiane Jacobsen 2022-01-21
Nice course, unfortunately airified greens, so that putting is not so easy. Friendly staff.

Philippe Pineau 2022-01-21
O’Connor Jnr course is in good condition, except for many bunkers that need sand (of the proper specs and without stones). This course is playable - enjoyable by golfers of any level. Rough cut short = easy to find and play balls = speed up play.

Stuart Russell smith 2022-01-19
To many people playing 5+ hour round nit great

Stuart Montgomery 2022-01-18
I had booked 2x 3 balls and the course had amended to a 4 and a 2 and insisted on an extra buggy fee when they are advertised as complimentary - poor start. The course was in poor condition with obvious signs of neglect to greens, palms and bunkers. It’s been a financially tough time for golf in the Algarve and this course hasn’t faired well.

Frank Haidinger 2022-01-14
Course in surprisingly good shape (compared to previous years), sand traps should have more sand (ground under repair)

Marion Brosens 2022-01-11
Always nice to play here. So different from Faldo, but very pleasant course.

Odette Isler 2022-01-04
Course in good condition. Friendly service.

Steve Horne 2021-12-10
Greens were great and the course was generally in a good condition. Clubhouse very nice and friendly staff.

Thomas O'Neill 2021-12-09
The staff, as always, were friendly and helpful. The course was in very good condition.

John Davison 2021-12-03
Course plays long, in very good condition. An enjoyable round.

Steve Grant 2021-12-02
Greens and fairways were in great condition, bunkers were poor.

Elizabeth Tolster 2021-11-27
The course was in excellent condition. Challenging with quite long carries off the tee, and large undulating greens. All the facilities were excellent. It was our first time at Amendoeira and it certainly won’t be our last.

Tom Nash 2021-11-10
Course is excellent but the bunkers let it down, needs to be more sand

Andrew Smith 2021-11-10
Not as tough as faldo course so more enjoyable to play.

Matthew Astall 2021-11-06
A first class service by Alexandre at Teetimes Agency. Very professional and good to deal with.

Michael Leahy 2021-11-01
This course has also deteriorated since we last played it and is nothing like the course it was 7/8 years ago. Not enough maintenance all over the course.

Steve Burton 2021-10-28
Once again we thoroughly enjoyed our day and excellent value for money with buggy, bottles of water and range tokens a nice addition.

Anthony Barry 2021-10-26
Fantastic golf course. Probably more user friendly than Faldo course

Greg Wilde 2021-10-25
Course in good condition. But clubhouse facilities weren’t great with the toilets needing a clean and no soap!

Krishna Padayachee 2021-10-25
Great course off the back stakes. Good test and in excellent condition

Oliver White 2021-10-19
GREAT COURSE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.PLAYABLE FOR ALL LEVELS. ADMINISTRATION AT CLUBHOUSE EXCELLENT. STAFF HELPFUL

Mark Rennie 2021-10-18
pick up and drop off at course excellent course nice and in good condition slightly spoilt by others not repairing pitch marks on greens (some people have no respect) traveled same day so very tired so didn't do justice to the course over all had a great day a couple of beers after while return transport came to collect us at agreed time

Thomas Ewald 2021-10-18
Perfect day. Top Greens and conditions.

Paul Prebble 2021-10-14
The course was great. The buggies are so slow it makes the round 5.5 hours

Derek Cowell 2021-10-13
Course was very busy and struggled to finish 18 holes

Craig Reynolds 2021-10-11
Very enjoyable day but very slow round 5hours 20 mins

David Thomas 2021-10-10
Great golf course.

Gerrit Goor 2021-09-27
Course is oké, but no comparisson to the Faldo course

Brian Beggs 2021-09-22
Have played this course many times clearly there is a distinct lack of financial investment on the course. Manifested in the poor condition of the tee boxes and the bunkers. Greens however were in good condition.

Owen White 2021-09-22
The course itself is challenging but fair. Great layout and very enjoyable. Unfortunately the bunkers and some areas of the course have been neglected and are not up to the standard they should be. Buggy's were not available right away and our Tee Time was delayed. To many groups out on the course that made the round very slow. We played the last three holes in darkness. No marshals on the course to speed up play. Explanation given by a staff member was management incompetence and lack of staff.

brian haystead 2021-09-22
Course in great condition the best course we have played + complementary buggies a bonus.

John McNamara 2021-09-21
Very enjoyable round of golf here. Great variety to the holes with a lot of water coming into play adding to the difficulty. The greens and tee boxes aren't as good as the Faldo course but the layout is just as impressive. Would highly recommend a round of golf here.

Stefan Metzger 2021-09-15
The course has a lot of water which comes just partially in play or you have a good slice. The greenkeepers were on the course we played but they always stopped working we approached the greens. Due to the weather conditions we started in rain with an expectation of thunderstorms. Here my wish would be to get informed better what happen when. But still a great expirience

John Robertson 2021-09-07
We’ve been playing here for years and always enjoyed it. However on this occasion the course was in poor condition. The tees, greens and bunkers were not what we’ve come to expect, demonstrating a lack of investment in the course upkeep.

Nils Taawo 2021-08-26
O’ Connor course always a pleasure to play, nice fairways, great greens. Friendly and helpful staff ????

Stephen Day 2021-08-19
Very good course in great condition for mid August.

Roland Heal 2021-08-16
The sister course to Faldo, although flatter there are plenty of hazards to catch you out, course management is the name of the game here, especially when windy.

Achim Reith 2021-07-21
The course was in very good condition. All personnell was exrtemely friendly and well organized.

Philippe Pineau 2021-07-19
Amendoeira O’Connor Jnr est un parcours assez confortable à jouer: Plat avec des fairways larges, les greens sont grands, pas trop de pentes et sans bunkers à l’entrée. Certains trous exigent une bonne portée de drive (env150m des départs jaunes) sans possibilité de jouer court ou sur le coté (ce qui est très pénalisant pour les joueurs débutants!). Tout le parcours est en bon état actuellement. Balles de practice gratuites (très sympa), bonnes aires d’entrainement (Chipping, putting greens), bien situées. Buggies en bon état, avec eau minérale et glace. Club house très bien, terrasse très agréable. Personnel serviable.

BISOFFI Philippe 2021-07-15
Very good course and very good service. Complementary buggy and token for driving range. Fully satisfied

Adrian Fraser Jones 2021-06-15
Course was in excellent condition both fairways and greens

Véronique Gantoy 2021-06-13
Beau parcours, personnel accueillant et sympathique.

Mark Hughes 2021-06-10
Today was my first time playing Amendoeira. It was part of an excellent package offered by Teetimes.pt - five rounds, two at Palmares (see previous review) and three at Amendoeira (2 at O’Connor 1 at Faldo). I usually play solo, but was paired with another couple which was fine and turned out to be very useful! The O’Connor JNR course is in good condition tee boxes, fairways and greens (in particular). The package included buggies for the three rounds at Amendoeira which was a bonus. The buggies have a GPS touch screen in them showing the layout of the hole, positions of the bunkers and water hazards. They also has a clever system that will automatically stop the buggy if you go too close to the fringes or hazards! They also supply a cool box with bottles of water included, which was a nice touch. The couple I played with had had quite a few rounds here and gave me some useful pointers on where position shots etc which helped a lot as this was my first round here. The course overall, is good fun with some interesting holes where local knowledge is a must! The greens are quite big generally, however a few have quite steep drop offs, so any wayward approach shots can be quite heavily punished! The clubhouse is good and modern.There is a pro shop just to the left of the reception and the bar terrace makes an excellent spot for post round refreshments, with excellent views over the course, again expect to pay golf club prices for food and drinks. Practice facilities are also available. I’ve always fancied playing Palmares & Amendoeira (after playing Faldo later in my trip) but the green fees always seemed a bit steep, but thanks to the excellent Teetimes.pt package I can now cross these off my list of courses to play in the Algarve! Ps there is a drinks buggy operating on the course which is quite handy given the current temperatures!

Alan Yeats 2021-06-04
Took advantage of the Summer Special offer - very good value. The course was in good condition and would recommend it. A good test of golf - take plenty of balls!

Roland Streule 2021-06-03
Good course . Pretty well maintained .worth playing even if services have room to improve!

Philippe Pineau 2021-06-02
O’Connor Jnr. course is rather flat, with wide fairways and large greens which will please long hitters. If you are not, some holes may become tough when played into the wind. All bunkers need sand to cover the wet or dry mud at the bottom, and/or the net mesh fabric which has been pulled out of the sand in several bunkers. Hazards edges need trimming. Many over grow the red and yellow stakes, which then cannot be seen. Nice putting and chipping greens. Driving range hitting areas need to be changed more often. Thanks for free bucket of range balls. Nice clubhouse and terrace, convenient parking. Mistake in our food bill (overcharged). Waiter got upset and aggressive when told. Surrounding of clubhouse and some areas on the course need cleaning, pick up debris, etc…
Tee Times reply: Amendoeira Resort apologies for any miscondut of their bar staff, and we also have the information that Amendoeira Resort will be improving their maintenance from beginning of June, when most of their staff come back from layoff situations.

Rita Bowkett 2020-11-08
A fabulous course.. I was hoping for the food/drink cart to come around and was disappointed that it never arrived.

Rita Bowkett 2020-11-08
A fabulous course..

Rachael Goldsmith 2020-11-07
Really enjoyed the course

Neil Macklin 2020-11-07
Ok ..T boxes were better .. not bad an improvement from last time I played there .. still rather expensive compared to other courses ..

Marie Stradling 2020-10-04
The fairways were very good, but the tee boxes for both men and women were unacceptable. They consisted of either bare sand or weeds! At 70 Euros a round, it’s not good value, and in my opinion overpriced.

Esteban Lopez 2020-08-20
Course in stunning conditions, although tees are under repair and greens pretty slow. Wider than the Faldo course, but also lots of very interesting holes to play, and varieties of short/long holes, dog legs right/left. Buggy not mandatory, but depending on the time/temperature/heat, recommended. A must play course.

Pablo Heredia 2020-08-20
Excelent golf course and very good maintenance

Andy Robinson 2020-02-17
Excellent course and some really challenging holes. Superb clubhouse with American style customer service.Probably one of the best overall course /clubhouse facilities on The Algarve

John Gilchrist 2020-02-15
Enjoyed the golf and the company.

Simon Goldsmith 2020-02-03
Excellent day, course in good condition especially fairways. Greens a little slow and wooly but very true. Nice touch to include range balls within green fee. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food was of excellent quality and reasonably priced but beers were very expensive. Thanks for a very enjoyable day.

Halper Johannes 2020-02-03
The Course was not so good

Steve Bassi 2020-01-27
Slightly better than the Faldo but disappointing compared to previous years

Stan carter 2020-01-26
Nice course and clubhouse. Nice meal after. Very relaxing day

Paolo Fox 2020-01-26
Played the Faldo course and couldn’t fault it. Found the blind holes a bit tough but only because I’ve not played the course before.

Keith Ellis 2020-01-21
Enjoyed the course - in good condition

Keith taylor 2020-01-19
Excellent service

James Tannett 2019-12-13
From drop off to collecting your clubs at the end - faultless. Got a range token too!! Clubs on buggy ready to go. Quite windy and a lot of water = many lost balls, however still enjoyable. Fairways excellent. Greens seemed slow but still good. Well placed shots required. Recommend yes, play again yes

Andy Robinson 2019-12-07
An Excellent golf

Simon Richardson 2019-12-05
Course in good condition. Clubhouse facilities very good, staff very helpful and great service

Tomas Daul 2019-11-25
great course

M Santiago Dos Santos 2019-11-22
Very challenging and well kept course. Worth to try.

Marcus WILLIAMSON 2019-10-08
The organisation at O'Connor course was very although staff were very apologetic. They were having to wait for buggies to be returned before sending out next players.

Simon 2019-10-02
If ever a course needed rain it's this one. Your literally able to take your club of choice anywhere in the water hazards as their non existent. What a shame

Brian Haystead 2019-09-26
Fantastic course in great condition Every hole interesting free buggie Clubs collected on arrival will definitely play again

William Townson 2019-08-29
The ''second'' course is just as much a challenge as the Faldo. A range of challenges require fairways to be hit . Varied design. Greens were top dressed which slowed them down, perhaps some advance notice could be issued...still full price. However got out early and enjoyed the views , the holes and experience. Clubs taken to the buggy, and back. 31c required a cold towel at the end which was most welcome!

Murray Armstrong 2019-08-29
We ended up playing the Faldo Course after receiving advice from the receptionist. It was very good. A challenge and we took a buggy, which we certainly needed. A beautiful spot and we may return to play the O'Connor course in the next week or so.

Andrew Slavin 2019-08-28
Great service from the team at Amendoeira from start to finish, including the provision of an extra buggy at no extra cost, which was solely for the purpose of the makeup of our visiting party. This was very welcome and yet was entirely unexpected A great day out- many thanks

chris ball 2019-08-27
Clubhouse and service was fantastic. Bunkers need fresh sand. Greens in great condition

Alex Morgan 2019-08-18
Stunning course, challenging but forgiving on some holes.

Gerard P Coyle 2019-08-02
What a quality establishment! Greeted like royalty.Range balls included in the green fee.And the course was beautifully manicured.A super day out and clubs cleaned to finish was a nice surprise.This complex is stunning and anyone in the golf industry who wants to learn about customer service should take a leaf out of this book.Cannot rate this any higher.Simply class.

Andrew Bowers 2019-07-31
The golf course was lovely and the staff were great. All went well especially as I did not receive my voucher from teetimes but Amendoeira let us play anyway and said they would contact you for me.

Andy Bryant 2019-07-30
Fabulous course, excellent customer service from everyone we dealt with. Can;t wait to play there again

lynda makin 2019-07-24
Great service, very attentive. Meet and greet you as soon as you arrive. Some nice touches, with the interactive buggies and water on ice in the cooler box

Michael Leahy 2019-06-25
Course in general is not maintained as well as it used to be. Because of its location Amendoeira requires to be a bit special. there is better value to be got elsewhere (based on rack rates).

Trym Anderson 2019-06-14
Good coutse

Gareth Toms 2019-06-14
Very nice course in fantastic conditions. The greens were perfect

Robert Craig Rea 2019-06-10

Frank Ponsioen 2019-05-28
Beautiful course, wide and Some water.

Ian Green 2019-05-14
The O'Connor course was very good, in really good condition and 1 to be enjoyed.

Andy Chambers 2019-04-20
Great day. Met some really friendly society members. Will sign up for more rounds and join up

Eamonn Ryan 2019-04-20
One of the best courses in the Algarve. Very enjoyable.

Ross Blackadder 2019-04-04
Enjoyed the course better than the faldo course. Although first 11 holes seemed to be in to the wind, it was still an okay challenge of the yellow tees. Again, infrastructure is in need of attention, tee boxes, paths etc, but they are all working hard on it. The greens were huge and in great nick. Lots of water around, but not necessarily a huge problem if you are clever. Lots of area to land your driver, so all in all good fun.

Trevor Swift 2019-03-06
Good course in decent condition. Pretty tough in s stiff wind though.

Acacio do Carmo 2019-02-13
Parcours plaisant demandant moins d’effort physique que le Faldo

Robert Burgess 2019-02-03
Lovely course very tough challenging holes.

Robert Lentell 2019-01-29
Very good enjoyable golf with friendly staff. Brilliant value with the winter special deal.

Nick Fry 2019-01-20
Layout good & generous off tee. Course & Greens poor. Statilite on buggies didn’t give yardages. Overall a bit disappointing

John Harding 2019-01-17
Driving up to the clubhouse you could sense that this was going to be a great experience. All of the staff were excellent - friendly , polite and helpful. The clubhouse is superb with first class facilities. The course was in excellent condition, lovely fairways and quick greens. The views from the clubhouse terrace were quite breathtaking.

Nick Swinhoe 2019-01-16
Excellent course enjoy by the whole group.

Barry McNally 2019-01-06
Course not to it’s usual standard, fairways and greens heavily sanded. Regards Barry

Petra Riegler 2019-01-01

Phil Sharpe 2018-10-14
A beautiful golf course within fantastic surroundings. Not the cheapest round of golf but the facilities are superb and well worth treating yourself. Course in great condition and the staff most friendly.

Kevin Steele 2018-09-21
Great course, will return next year we hope.

glenn weston 2018-09-16
great course great price

Phil Sharpe 2018-09-12
A wonderful golf experience. Not the cheapest round of golf but well worth playing there just to to sample the wonderful course, unbelievably friendly staff and the whole customer experience. It feels like a real treat to play there.

Michel BORRACELLI 2018-08-21
Parcours formidable, incroyablement entretenu Un plaisir à renouveler sans modération !

Liz Scully 2018-07-22
Great course in good condition.

Doug Smith 2018-07-21
The O,Connor Jnr course was in great condition. Maybe the best we have played this year. All the fairways were in tip top condition and the greens were fantastic. I know they have prepared the course for an international junior event for next week, so good to know they have it spot on..

Jonathan Goold 2018-07-10
Superb day out

Keith Walker 2018-07-04
Good test of golf, in great condition

Simon 2018-06-29
Pace of play was slow and the stewards wouldn't do anything about it

Marcus Hoffmann 2018-06-24
simply excellent; perfect facilities, very good overall service!

Michael Tait 2018-06-07
First class course which I cannot find fault with. The greens are superb and you have to be 100% correct when reading the line of putts as there are the subtlest of breaks which take your putt offline if not read correctly. Overall a wonderful course.

David Jones 2018-05-25
Very disappointed with the speed of the greens, don't think they had been cut,

Paul Beard 2018-05-16
Great course but a slow round

Ricky Cannons 2018-05-07
Very good

Craig Gilmore 2018-04-28
Very good experience all round with only comment being we could have done with a buggy earlier than 10mins from the golf club.

Brian Beggs 2018-04-20
5:30mins for a round if golf is too long. The reason they are letting too many players on the course.

Jeff Bull 2018-04-17
Magical. Course was exceptional in every department. The service was excellent. Very, very impressed.

ray walsh 2018-04-09
Great course, great service, only issues are the greens could do with a little work, and the issue with theft from buggys was a little worrying! But I love this course one of best I have played in Portugal

Tania Segers 2018-04-01
OK. The club seemed to be improving over a visit last winter.

Gary Watts 2018-03-30
a great set up and a less challenging but still very enjoyable golf course, we scored better so naturally enjoyed it more.

Richard Turner 2018-03-07
Good but twilight start at 14.40 is too late to get 18 holes in before it’s gets dark

Max Cornish 2018-02-10
Played before - a very top notch experience - but it is rather more expensive than other courses we played

Mark Barnish 2017-10-20
Excellent, very professional set up, need to be there slightly earlier as take time to get clubs processed and load onto buggies, thi sis tough when have an early tee time

Jim Reid 2017-10-08
Really enjoyed playing here again, a much more playable holiday golf course than the Faldo. Rated this 3rd

Erich Renz 2017-09-26
guter Zustand, langsames Spiel 5 Stunden

Liam Kearns 2017-09-20
Good course and well kept. Easier to play it first time.

Paul Beard 2017-09-14
Great course

Doug Smith 2017-08-05
We picked the hottest day of the year. But a really nice course with some tricky holes. Got to keep concentration which is difficult when it's so hot. The greens were not as quick as the practice facilities so quite a few lagged putts. A great layout to be enjoyed along with the welcoming staff, who look after us golfers well.

Alan Cooper 2017-07-14
Excellent

Martin Jones 2017-06-26
Awesome course, although very tough in the wind.

Rory White 2017-06-19

Shabby around the edges and for the money not sure great value.

Axel Heuser 2017-01-04
Exellent golf course. The course is full of variety.

John Deveney 2016-11-18

Ralph Keyes 2016-10-19
Very enjoyable as always

Steve Brunton 2016-09-22
Generally good condition, and the usual excellent service on arrival. However, the Greens did play extremely slowly

David McCrone 2016-08-20
Very enjoyable

Doug Smith 2016-08-13
Great day at O'Connor. The best greens we have played all year.

Nicholas Kjelgaard 2016-06-26
Not overly keen on the course, you start it and it has nice feel but after 18 holes which all seem the same it is a bit boring. Also as 3 men playing being partnered with an old lady was not a good experience. I would highly recommend they remove the reeds so you can see the shot over water it would be far better than looking at yet another shot over reeds.

david shannon 2016-06-21
Lovely course and in excellent condition for a resort course. Only criticism would be bunkers, sand too compacted, probably from all the watering. Splash shot was not possible, almost everyone was like playing off fairway. Best hint - stay out of bunkers. Play O'Connor first, Faldo probably just shades it.

James Galbraith 2016-06-17
VERY GOOD NO PROBLEMS

Ian Green 2016-06-06
Excellent condition, a great day

Balz Riesterer 2016-05-24
At this course we have been rather surprised about the level of maintenace. For the price of the greenfee you expect better conditions of fairways.

Dave Thompson 2016-05-16
Onlt played 8 holes due to rain but the course was great and the greens very good. Would like to return.

Peter Grant 2016-04-16
Very playable and enjoyable course. Much easier than the Faldo course.

Jonathan Lloyd 2016-03-19
Marco our minibus driver to and from the golf courses was excellent.
