Castro Marim Golf Course - latest comments and reviews

John Davies 2024-06-25
Not up to cima or Ria but well worth the visit

Pat Wallace 2024-06-23
Played Guiadania and Atlantic fairways on the Atlantic were in a poor condition.

Keith Golesworthy 2024-06-14
Most enjoyable, course a bit drought stricken but that can’t be helped with lack of rain, first 9 greens very good but never got the pace of the spiked and sanded back 9. Lovely bar area and very reasonable prices even for non residents

Tim Gale 2024-05-31
We really enjoy this course and it is on our list every year.

Ina van der Hout 2024-05-29
Always a pleasure to play here! Quiet and nice.

Tanja Kracht 2024-05-08
Great Golfcourse, very releaxed place. We enjoyed this course. Nice few and very helpful people,

John Farrall 2024-05-07
A good course, for an out of the way location it was much busier than classy neighbour Qunito do Vale but less refined. A very good and worthy challenge though with many dog legs although a number of similar looking tee shots

Martin Hyde 2024-04-21
I really enjoyed the day and the company.The course was just tighter than my hit it and find style was suited to. You need to be straight.

Dave Parsons 2024-04-19
A nice welcome at reception & I was dealt with in a friendly & efficient manner. The course was in quite good condition, a little inconsistency in the quality of the bunkers, but otherwise fine. An enjoyable morning's golf.

Jackie Robinson 2024-04-15
gOOD NICK AND AS ENJOYABLE AS EVER

Shanna Casey 2024-03-24
Tee Times was a great service! They quickly responded to me and when I asked to make a change, they were quick to get it done. The golf course was nice however the signs need to be better because they change course names after you finish the first 9 holes. There are no signs to tell you where to go so it makes it a little confusing if you've not been there. The restaurant was not impressive. The young girl who works there first behaved as though she didn't understand my husband but then did so clearly, she was not wanting to be waitressing today. The food was not good. They really need a good cook there as it really is difficult to mess up a cheeseburger. It took 3x to get mine cooked and they were nice enough about it and apologized but it still makes for a bad experience. It seems a shame with such a beautiful clubhouse and the area that the food which was an easy order was such a let down. Paulo and the Andre as well as Bob were great! The spacing should be about 15 minutes in between with so many walking the course. I think that would be better so that you don't get stacked up.

Ray Sheridan 2024-03-17
Tight course. Sand in some bunkers not great. A challenge worth a visit.

Randall Nunley 2024-03-15
Very nice course design and layout for the for the hilly terrain. Lots of ups and downs and carries over water hazards, challenging but very fair. Conditions are good but could be better thereby making the course a gem.

Helen Pettitt 2024-03-11
Very friendly staff, popular so can get busy. We always love playing here. Its a very enjoyable course with a good mix of holes, good condition. Enjoyable for high/low handicap golfers (we are M5/ F 26)

Richard Shaw 2024-03-06
Top class

Roll Up Boys 2024-02-24

Ruud Verberne 2023-11-23
Difficult but enjoyable course.

Declan Cahill 2023-11-23
I enjoyed the course

Ruud Verberne 2023-11-22
Difficult but enjoyable course.

Johannes Vreeker 2023-11-14
Challenging 3x 9 holes with great views. Value for money. Buggy advisable!

Tony 2023-11-03
Very interesting and well laid out. Greens fine but remainder of course would benefit from better maintenance, the fairways were not great. If they wish to compete with the better courses around they need to up their game. But in fairness at €71, a fair price compared to the average of €120 we are paying for the remainder of our rounds. To improve customer satisfaction, and I would have upgraded to 7, if perhaps a starter or at least someone to point you in right direction and explain local rules etc. once you cleared Reception and picked up the buggy you were ‘on your own’. Only a very small thing but Even a few tee pegs and a pencil would have been nice. For all that, well worth a visit.

Winkelmann Brigitte 2023-10-31
Course played on 31st of October. In wet condition, but after the dry Summer, they realy needed some rain. Unfortunately very slow play ( 04h40) but no marshall seen. However, we enjoyed playing Golf outside the Resort-Courses on the Algarve for a good price.

Liam Quirke 2023-10-28
Enjoyed it

Nigel Lander 2023-10-26
Good little course, narrow in places, with a premium on accuracy off the tee.well worth the trip out to the boarder.

Maxwell Wright 2023-10-25
Nice course, hilly-

Rachel Milne 2023-10-25
Great course lovely day thank you!

Liam Quirke 2023-10-25
Enjoyed it

Graham Paver 2023-10-25
Not a golf course for me It in great condition

Tim Gale 2023-10-09
Grouse/Guardiana played. Very enjoyable course - we enjoyed the condition, the level of challenge, and the scenic course layout.

Wayne Stewart 2023-09-18
Enjoyable course, some tough holes.

Anne Emsley 2023-09-15
Staff all very helpful and friendly. Greens in excellent condition but fairways very brown and quite often you were playing shots from earth with no grass. Sand in bunkers disappointing as very gritty and not easy to get under the ball. However we had a good day there with friends. Would play the course again as we like the position and layout of it but would like to know the fairways were in better condition first b

Jackie Robinson 2023-09-13
Excellent didnt see a soul

Stuart Law 2023-09-06
Great course layout , friendly staff and go food , would recommend.

Tony PELL 2023-06-05
Good to be back after a few years. Always enjoy this venue.

Justin Harper 2023-06-04
A great track, well maintained, and to have an ice cold towel handed to you half way round in the heat was a first for me!

Jim Gillis 2023-06-03
Played the Grouse and Guadiana 9s today and the course was in great condition. Really appreciated the reception staff and caddymaster service. Very friendly and helpful to all our players.

Niall O Shea 2023-06-03
Course & Greens in excellent condition …. But you need to be very accurate and course management is key

Rudolphus Verberne 2023-06-03
Nice course but for first-timer difficult. So I have to come back

Phil Ashton 2023-06-03
A great day out at Castro Marim. Really nice facilities and beautiful outside terrace at the clubhouse. Nice interesting course in a very chilled environment. I would probably suggest a buggy as many holes are a little hilly.

Jackie Robinson 2023-06-01
unbelievable millionairres golf not a sole in sight for the entire 18 holes Course not in great shape but who cares!

Jaime Garcia 2023-05-30
.

Woof 2023-05-25
As for Benamor re the buggies.

John Flanagan 2023-05-22
Warm welcome from the staff at Castro Marim. The course provides a very good golf challenge with undulating and twisting fairways.

Dave Parsons 2023-05-19
The condition of the course had improved since the last time I played there, although it is not perfect. Staff were friendly and helpful, as ever.

David Whalley 2023-04-30
Shocking buggy and practice balls. Course not to my liking. Probably won’t return.

Richard McAllister 2023-04-22
Beautifully laid out course ruined only by my game! A definite must play on the Algarve.

Philip Murphy 2023-04-22
Lovely people and a very challenging course if you miss your tee shot!!!!!

Sidney Stuart 2023-04-18
Very good from arriving to departure

Mac Shiells 2023-04-15
Nice layout, fairways in poor condition.

Michel Brandelet 2023-04-06
Very scenic course with a lot of up and down. Buggy advisable. Well taken care of.

Charles Stadnik 2023-03-28
Overall enjoyed the course, however when asked if course reasonably flat as we were carrying and using a pull trolley. We were told it was not too bad, but found that we had to climb to every tee. People on the course even commented that they thought we were crazy walking.

Jan Remie 2023-03-15
We had o good round of golf with a very friendly couple from Holland! We love this golf course with is hilly fairways and doglegs with blind holes. The only negative I can think off was the buggy which didn’t had enough power from hole 14 onwards. We had to push the buggy uphill !!

Philip Townsend 2023-02-24
Overpriced for the quality of the course. Fairways poor again. Greens decent but it's not a €70 golf course

Patrick Schacher 2023-02-02
The teeboxes are in a miserable state and the faiways have seen better times. At least the greens are in good shape but fairly slow. Clubhouse, restaurant and service are very good. I‘ll come back…

Nils Taawo 2022-12-30
Nice clubhouse and layout of course. Tee’s and greens not great, overall ok

bartijn r.g. 2022-12-22
teeboxes and signing need improvement, fairways okay, greens sanded, in general a nice somewhat hilly course in nature. Friendly staff.

Paul Gray 2022-11-13
A good course but very up and down , so a buggy is recommended. The pro shop only opens at 08.00 so do not arrive early for an early start.

Patrick Murray 2022-11-12
Excellent customer service

Philippe Pineau 2022-11-11
Castro Marim Golf Course is up and down, left to right, never boring, quite a challenge. In reasonably good condition (Nov22). Superb Castle house. Buggies would need refresh. Carry few balls in your bag for the round!

Henriëtte Folmer 2022-11-09
Nice layout of the course, greens were good, fairways sometimes very dry, and without grass. Buggies were a challenge, brakes were bad and the steering was heavy.

James Clarke 2022-11-09
Twilight time of 2.00 pm is too late in Portugal. We were not able to complete our round before darkness set in.

Stuart Russell smith 2022-11-05
excellent course - challenging but fun. Badly organized to many people playing sometimes 12 people on 1 hole - very unenjoyable .

Andy Fletcher 2022-11-04
The greens were not fast but they were true. You had to repair the many pitch marks left by other ''golfers''. I think that Castro Marim is a monotonous course. You go up to the tee box, down to the valley, up to the green. Up to the tee box, down to the valley, up to the green. And so on. The course lay-out is very poor. The dog-legs are ridiculous, as are the stroke indexes. As an example, hole 3 on the Guadiana course is a par 5. Why? It is only 404m from the whites, 361m form the yellows. The dog-leg is too far and too acute to give you a view from your tee shot to the green (very much like hole 1 on the Grouse course). Not only that, it has a stroke index of 2!!!!!! There are 3 courses of 9 holes at Castro Marim. If I am booked to play A+B, A+C, or B+C, I would expect to have a scorecard with the stroke indexes of the 18 holes that I am playing, not to have the SI of each nine. Of the six golf courses on the East Algarve (not to forget the two courses just over the bridge in Spain), Castro Marim is at the bottom of the list. I am a member of Benamor, second bottom of the list, but, as a member, it is impossible to book a tee time and so I have to pay to play elsewhere. By the way, I beat a 6-handicapper by 6 and 5 and he is never going to be allowed to forget, so my comments are not sour grapes.

Pål Christiansen 2022-11-03
The course was in not a very good condition. As a matter of fact it was totally unsatisfactory and very disappointing. The only part of aproval was the bunkers! I am not playing that course again in a long time.

Colm Friel 2022-11-02
Lovely course, good facilities, beautiful clubhouse and good food. Staff were pleasant however it would have made the experience a little better if staff were more proactive in directing visitors, eg to the caddymaster, to the range, to the first tee. We found we had to ask or find the way ourselves. A minor complaint but it is particularly relevant at a course with 3 x 1st tees!

Jan de Zwaan 2022-10-29
Good course and friendly staff

Daniel Festraets 2022-10-26
Very friendly welcome Poor fairways but good greens All in all OK and a very acceptable price

William Carslaw 2022-10-19
Another very enjoyable course. The staff were friendly and helpful. Play was a bit slow on the front 9 but this was not a problem

Andrew Warrington 2022-10-19
An enjoyable experience even with poor weather

Lynn Lund 2022-10-18
Greens need a bit of attention however every hole is different and brings its own challenges

Stephen MacGuffie 2022-10-18
Poor condition, quite busy

Todd Lindsay 2022-10-17
Peaceful setting and many pretty holes, often played downhill from elevated tees. Not long but very narrow at times. Placement more important than power.

Ian Humphries 2022-10-15
Course is in fair condition only. Greens a little uneven and patchy. Fairways a bit rough. preferred lies were necessary, but still an enjoyable day.

Chris Chatten 2022-10-12
Nice course, priced fairly, a good walk, lots of blind shots, requiring accurate shots!!

Richard Walsh 2022-10-11
Course in poor condition. greens and tees not acceptable when paying top money.

Paul Gray 2022-10-10
A really tight course even though relatively short. Two very enjoyable nine holes.

Paul Tolley 2022-10-08
Course was a little untidy and the clubhouse staff a little unfriendly. Reception staff and caddy master were very good.

Luisa Borrego 2022-09-28
Played Grouse and Guadiana 2 lovely courses well kept full and challenging

Patrick Cotton 2022-09-15
Very difficult course You have to play with a buggy Greens were not in great shape

Jackie Robinson 2022-09-10
eVERYONE AS FRIENDLY AS EVER

Tony Calnan 2022-09-07
Very enjoyable round of golf

Andrew Slavin 2022-09-07
Party of 12 enjoyed our day. Course was a bit of a challenge for playing first time and buggies are a must. Greens were very soft and some had quite a bit of disease, but overall a pleasant day out

Stuart clennell 2022-07-04
Spectacular setting run by pleasant and helpful staff. Played 2 courses and both well thought out courses. Very hilly and challenging in places with Greens in great condition.

Dave Parsons 2022-06-29
Although the staff and the rest of the facilities were good, the Castro Marim course (Guadiana and Atlantic) was not in good condition. The fairways were average and the greens were poor. The buggy paths are also in poor condition. I hope they can improve the situation.

Oliver Schwarzenbach 2022-06-22
Bookings with teetimes.pt are simple, transparent and they always work.

Jackie Robinson 2022-05-31
Course good as ever and our golf as bad as ever!

Ina van der Hout 2022-05-13
Very nice and beautiful golf course. We had a very enjoyable afternoon.

Malcolm Osseweijer 2022-05-12
Very nice 27-holes course. Very friendly reception. A buggy is recommended.

Ita Marron 2022-05-07
Staff very friendly course average buggy is a must to play

Richard Richard Ashley 2022-05-04
Castro Marim continues to be a jewel in the crown of golf courses in the eastern Algarve. The course is perfectly laid out and has just enough water hazards to cope with being a (very) high handicapper. Even for me there are par, even birdie, chances as well as incredibly difficult holes. CM consists of 3 nine hole courses, the Grouse, Guadiana & Atlantic. All three are superb, on the day you are advised which two courses you play to make up the 18 holes, we played Grouse and Guadiana. The clubhouse facilities are excellent and the staff friendly. One tip, do not arrive before 8am as the facilities are closed until then.

Alan Murray 2022-04-29
Played here quite a few times,always enjoyable

Robert Camilleri 2022-04-19
The staff are very helpful & friendly. The course is very playable & is recovering from the winter months. The greens are excellent, fast but also very receptive. Enjoyed my round and scored well. This is a course that gets better every time I play it. Local knowledge of the course is needed to score well.

Robert Camilleri 2022-04-17
Excellent golf course with holes that make you think. Greens were quick and rolled very true. Clubhouse is excellent and the staff were very helpful.

Gary Jones 2022-03-18
Very windy but nice course. Like to play this without the w/o d

Jackie Robinson 2022-03-05
Lovely game of golf though we all played pretty badly!

Neil Sutton 2022-03-02
Course is shorter than most with some blind tee shots. Condition good overall and some pretty holes. Could do with improving the signage for the holes and how to get to them.

Josette Franken 2022-02-23
We played all right, but Castro Marin was very busy, especially the first course (we played the Grouse and the Atlantic course). We didn't think the course looked very nice, at least not the way we remembered it. The receptionist was very friendly Unfortunately, there was no starter or marshall

Roll Up Boys 2022-02-19
Very friendly staff. Both on the check in and the Bar area. Greens were excellent and good sand in bunkers. Very enjoyable even if we did lose a lot of balls in the trees. Course was bust but they still did not have a buggy bar . Will be back again in June.

David Askew 2022-02-13
Very average course good par threes some crazy designed holes . Condition of the course dreadful . Clubhouse and staff superb

Mike Casey 2022-02-12
Great Course!

Norbert van der Plas 2022-02-06
Wonderfull round on firm fairways and speedy greens. Great offer 2 persons including buggy.

David askew 2021-12-10
Castro marim course was in very poor condition .. The teeing areas were dreadful completely worn out with loads of sand Fairways were worsedcive seen in agarve . The greens were poor

Max Davies 2021-11-15
Dreadful course, clubhouse and service. Terrible tees, fairways poor, bunkers full of weeds, greens diseased and lumpy. Last round of 7 in Portugal, left us with poor memories. Thankfully all the others were great.

Bogdan Ptak 2021-10-25
Everything is ok.Thank you

Jan Klein 2021-10-23
Poor quality greens

David Parsons 2021-10-19
Staff were friendly when checking in & getting buggy. I've always liked the layout of the courses at Castro Marim. Today I played Grouse & Guadiana. Sadly the quality of those courses was poor, not something I've noticed in the past here. In particular, the greens and tee boxes were well below standard. I hope this is temporary.

Peter Chloupek 2021-10-17
A very nice 27 hole course, unfortunately we could not get a cart and walking this course teaches you a few lessons. Very nice staff.

Lauermann Andreas 2021-10-15
Nice Course in good condition.

John Davies 2021-09-30
Too many raised greens, greens in poor condition and it’s not a good idea to put a four ball out followed by four 2 balls.

Hans-erich Tytko 2021-09-21
We played this course almost every year. We are disappointed with the condition of the place.

Hans Spliethoff 2021-09-20
It is excellen the villa is splendid, clean and well kept… nice pool and 3 x 9 holes of good golf. At reception very hospitality people .. great

Ian Clough 2021-09-05
The layout of the course is fantastic, lots of elevated tees and greens. Overall condition of the course is good but the greens have some invasive grass in them which makes putting difficult.

Tony Calnan 2021-08-23
Very nice set up. Good club house and facilities. Golf course was in great repair. Some other players but no traffic jambs. Very pleasant

Dave Parsons 2021-07-26
Castro Marim course was in pretty good condition. The buggy was needed as the course is hilly. Covid arrangements were good and staff were friendly.

Robert Gorter 2021-07-22
Nice friendly staff and a superb course. We played Atlantic/grousse and the layout is great! Although the fairways are not always too green, what can you expect @ 39deg.C?

John Flanagan 2021-06-27
The staff at Castro Marim were very friendly and welcoming. Because of the Covid closure the course needs some further recovery to get the greens back to what I have experienced there in the past

Phil Martin 2021-05-21
Enjoyed the course. Helps to know the layout. Not long but demands accuracy. In fair condition. Overall we thought it was good value.

Eamonn Ryan 2020-03-19
Excellent if unusual course. Presents a good challenge. Very enjoyable!

georg strasser 2020-03-13
I would not recommend to play this course. no grass on fairways and stonehard. Georg from Austria

Ashley 2020-03-05
Excellent course in great condition. It was busy but we were only held up briefly. Check in was efficient. The clubhouse is a quality building and they provide good food.

Mr. Doorn 2020-02-27
Value for money???? Fairways in bad conditions Buggy's low battery.

Jan Sklepek 2020-02-25
Castro Marim Golf Resort ist eine sehr gut gepflegte Anlage, die Villen sind modern ausgestattet und in einem sehr guten Zustand. Die Mitarbeite in der Rezeption, im Proshop und im Restaurant sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Der Golfplatz liegt in schöner Natur, ruhig, und mit wunderschönen rund um Ausblicken, falls man sich dafür Zeit nimmt. Die Bahnen sind nicht langweilig, haben Eigencharakter und brauchen gute Spielstrategie.

Jackie Robinson 2020-02-23
Great fun as usual and only had to wait on one hole

Allan Peacock 2020-02-21
First time,I thought the course was in poor condition,yet the club house and staff were very good.

Mike Poole 2020-01-13
We have played Castro Marim many times, it is an interesting course but is quite hilly so it can be enjoyed most if you have a buggy, thankfully teetimes.pt provided buggies as part of our deal. The course was in good order and we had a very pleasant and reasonably priced meal afterwards.

Ray Simpson 2019-12-28
Very good course condition and friendly staff

Ray Simpson 2019-12-24
Really good experience

James Tannett 2019-12-10
Played the Guardiana and Grouse combination. This was our first time here. Weather was superb for time of year so that helped. Apart from a loud Dutch couple behind had a great time. Course in excellent condition, some tee boxes could be better but no massive issue. Some blind shots from the tee which may play different next time! Overall a challenging course but very scorable and fair.

Inge Hempelmann 2019-11-14
Es ist landschaftlich ein sehr schöner Plätz. Sehr abwechslungsreich. Guter Pflegezustand.

Wolfgang Haller 2019-11-02
Course is in a very good shape, friendly staff and services

Horst Jungbluth 2019-11-01
sehr gepflegter Platz; es fahlen Abschlagstafeln,aus denen das Layout des jeweiligen Loches mit Entfernungen erkennbar wird. Sehr schnelle Greens.

Peter Wragg 2019-10-26
What an improvement to our last visit over 3 years ago. The club house has been newly renovated and the course redesigned to include three 9 hole courses . We played the Grouse & Guadiana courses which were in excellent condition. A real enjoyable days golf at a competitive price.

Ina van der Hout 2019-10-22
Here we could play the 2 of us very quiet at twilight. Om the other courses we had to play with 2 other people. The course of Castro Marim is very beautiful with nice views.

John Flanagan 2019-10-20
Excellent service from Teetimes.pt in arranging my game at Castro Marim. The course was in very good condition despite the heavy rain yesterday and the staff at the club were very welcoming and helpful. One small negative was there was no pencil provided on the buggy, the first time I have ever encountered this.

Bob Needham 2019-10-17
Superb course and excellent friendly and helpful staff

Matthew Hills 2019-10-12
Excellent customer service, could fault it all

Helen Rutherford 2019-10-10
Very impressive clubhouse and challenging course but played very well. Satnav or map needed to find it. For future recommendation for yourselves perhaps suggesting the need to book/reserve a buggie in advance.

Tim Morrissey 2019-10-10
Very good. Very friendly staff.

Simon 2019-10-08
Great course and more forgiving than the nearby course quinta do vale. Definitely worth a visit and worth the trip from Vilamoura

Lee Donaldson 2019-10-08
A nice course but in reality too far from where we were staying. Some interesting holes, we played the Grouse and Guadiana combination, all fairways and greens in good shape. Bunker sand on a couple of holes wasn’t best ever ( so I’m told) Made to feel welcome at the course and in the clubhouse afterwards.

gerardkeane 2019-10-04
Very enjoyable, course in great condition, very friendly staff

Paul 2019-10-02
Probably the right amount of challenge for our games. Some reachable par 5s but some daunting tee shots over water to make it interesting. Hit it straight and you have no worries. Course is in good nick and greens running true. Buggies could do with coolers on which would be a nice touch. Also a decent price to hire and not a rip off. Surrounding area needs more landscaping off the fairways to make it more appealing on the eye. Clubhouse very good. Food good value and service really helpful and polite.

Steve Graham 2019-09-20
Have played this course many times. Always a great challenge. Good condition, and clubhouse facilities excellent

James Needham 2019-09-11
Played Castro Marim over the last week and a thoroughly enjoyable experience it was. The Grouse and Guadiana courses were in excellent condition and the greens were some of the truest I have putted on. Excellent practice facilities and a superb club house.

Andrew Ford 2019-09-11
The course was in great condition, greens true and reasonably fast considering the hot and very dry weather that has gone on for the last few months, The majority of staff were very helpful and you could have a bit of banter with. Will definitely come again.

Phil Townsend 2019-09-03
other than the greens being slow it was very good

ILLINGWORTH 2019-09-01
Very good greens excellant

Michael Poole 2019-08-24
We had a lovely day at Castro Marim, thank you for booking the golf for us. We first played here 25 years ago when the clubhouse was at the first tee on the Atlantico course and we have been coming back regularly since those faraway days, still love it.

DAVID BATEMAN 2019-08-23
Had a fantastic round and the course was in great condition loved it

Julian Romeira 2019-08-01
Great experience and lovely course

Jamie Smith 2019-07-12
Tee off times pt was excellent the conditions of the golf course not the best.

A Erkelens 2019-07-11
Very good and professional

Jan van Roekel 2019-06-26
well done!

Bodo Braun 2019-06-25
Excellent service: fast and friendly.

Gareth Toms 2019-06-20
Course was very scruffy, tees and fairways disappointing. On the Grouse 9 the greens had been heavily sanded

Franco Di Fonzo 2019-06-12
In a course with no indications, no birdie book and no GPS on the buggy, with holes with no visibility is impossible to play. Especially with so much wind. Experience not to be repeated.

Tom Williams 2019-06-08
Really fantastic course with great views and interesting holes. A hidden gem.

Stephen Boswell 2019-06-07
Very well looked after and a good course with excellent greens

Bernd Neidhardt 2019-05-30
Top custumer Service. Maria is fantastic. Always friendly and very customer related. Coul not be better in service. Bernd Neidhardt

Richard Whitworth 2019-05-22
Good course. However. Twilight golf and we had to leave the course at 7pm?

Paul Haran 2019-05-22
Good course, helpful staff, would have liked card to be presented as an 18 hole card rather than two nine hole cards and have to workout indices!

Bèr Raemaekers 2019-05-21
Mooie uitdagende baan met Prima greens. FAirways hard. Prachtige vergezichten. 19e hole goed...mag wat vriendelijker.

Walter Strunz 2019-05-20
3 very nice 9 hole courses in good condition

Greg Reynolds 2019-05-08
Challenging course. All up and down maybe a buggy for the older golfer.

Paul Short 2019-05-07
Castro Marim consists of 3 sets of nines holes. Each are different in character and quality. The Grouse has a number of holes with wide fairways and long carries. Guardiana is more mature again with some long carries some over water. Finally Atlantico which is towards the sea. Ore mature narrower tree lined fairways. Some strange tee positions having to drive over the last green. Greens were acceptable but not great. Overall pleasant course nice clubhouse and one we enjoy playing

Nous ne sommes pas satisfaits car nous devions joué Grouse/ Guadiana et nous avons joué Guadiana / Atlantic mais on nous a dit qu’il y avait trop de monde alors que nous avons réservé depuis 1 semaine !!! Ce n’e Pas notre commande!!!

ian nicholas 2019-03-17
A challenging but beautiful course. Really long and undulating so definitely needed the buggy.

William Green 2019-03-14
Have played Castro Marim for many years the course was in the best condition ever.

Lorraine Bennett 2019-03-04
Challenging but enjoyable

Richard Moss 2019-02-23
Excellent greens. Good value but buggy recommended

Raul Reis 2019-02-20
Back nine tee boxes were too close to each other. A bit dangerous...

David Reilly 2019-02-17
Very good

Tony Calnan 2019-02-05
Very nice day of golf. Club house was nice but we did not stay.

Carlos Ferreira 2019-01-12
Interesting golf course, not to long but very narrow fairways and some blind shots.

Sven Johannsen 2019-01-07
exciting golf course, buggy is highly recommended

Marijke van der Veen 2019-01-01
Very nice golfcourse. Well maintained and beautifully placed in its surroundings. Buggy recommended.

Bob Needham 2018-11-15
By far the friendliest and best value golf on the Algarve

Bodo Braun 2018-10-27
Nice course. Well maintained. Many scenic views. Carry some extra balls with you ;-)

sidney stuart 2018-10-20
Club house very good superb views towards Spain from terrace food is of a high standard course in good condition not a long course narrow fairways club selection important too tip bring plenty of balls

Roderik 2018-10-15
Very nice but difficult course

Monica Young 2018-10-14
We were not mad about the course. It was not maintained very well

Christian Hoornaert 2018-10-14
Excellent

Lesley Colquhoun 2018-10-09
Impressed on arrival - nice drive and entrance to eh club. 4 of us played the Grouse & Guadiana courses. The first 2 holes had us wondering if it was worth the drive from Quinta Do Lago - the first cut was "rough" making it difficult to find our balls and the greens weren't the best. However, the course then opened out and we were pleasantly surprised with the all round condition of the next 7 holes of the Grouse course and the even nicer Guadiana course. The views are quite something to behold, adding more enjoyment to the round. Staff and service in the pro shop and bar were excellent, as were the facilities. Extremely good value for money. We all came away thankful that we'd made the effort and will look forward to visiting Castro Marim again on our next trip. Tamar at Teetimes.PT provided an excellent, personal booking service - highly recommended and will certainly use them again for future arrangements.

Guido Pauels 2018-10-09
Wonderful lay out, good fairways and greens. We enjoyed this course

Alan Carr 2018-09-22
Excellent golf course with stunning views, nice clubhouse and food, warm friendly staff

Diana de Vroege 2018-09-22
Nice course, valluwe for money. In the heat of the dat cool towels????

Irma Siegers 2018-09-21
Perfect

Humphreys 2018-09-19
Excellent course - good condition - greens a bit slower that ideal but otherwise all good

Andy Bryant 2018-09-17
Friendly people , great course, challenging and different holes. And them bringing round ice cold towels during the heat of the game -excellent touch

John Wilson 2018-09-16
Impressive hilly course which offers real challenges and beautiful views. In good condition and greens playing well.

Julia Hunter 2018-09-16
Lovely golf course with great views and picturesque holes

Pilar 2018-08-18
Perfect

John Flanagan 2018-08-16
The course is a challenge if you are not a straight hitter but it is in excellent condition given the time of the year. There are several holes with superb views over the surrounding area and across into Spain. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. It is very good value for money.

John Gray 2018-08-12
Good customer service and half way round we were given an ice cold towel which on a hot day was a real treat. The group behind hit through us on 3 occasions even though were kept right up with the group in front of us - it's a shame some golfers are idiots. Of course this was no reflection on the golf course itself. If you are looking for a medium length course (c.6,300 yards off the back (white) tees), with many challengingly tight drives then this is the course for you.

Alan MICHEL 2018-08-08
Joli parcours technique et vallonné, souvent serré pour les départs. Très bon entretien. Staff aux petits soins :-) Bon resto aussi.

Andy Bryant 2018-07-31
very friendly , great course

Mike Needham 2018-06-30
Totally in love with this course it's like millionairs paradise

Phil Townsend 2018-06-25
first 9 greens sanded and very slow 2nd nine a bit bare and bumpy but quicker. fairways not a patch on quinta do vale which is across the road

Jackie Robinson 2018-06-10
Excellent game of golf in under 4 hours

Rob Needham 2018-06-05
By far the best value golf course in the Algarve

Kevin Sanders 2018-06-01
Very helpful and well informed staff. Grouse and Guadiana courses played well and were in good condition.

Mark Hughes 2018-05-26
Tee time was moved half an hour back because of a competition, which resulted in very slow play, 3 1/2 hours for the first 9 holes, played the back 9 in 1 1/2 hours after the competition finished

David Bowles 2018-05-21
A very enjoyable experience. Yes the layout a challenge But very playable and an experience not to be missed

Bèr Raemaekers 2018-05-17
Vandaag guadana en atlantic course guadiana is de mooiste van de 3....atlantic...veel afwisseling maar wat compacter dan de andere 2. Castro marim zeker een prachtige accommodatie prettige atmosfeer. Hole 19 zeer relaxt

Daniel 2018-05-17
perfect Management

Bèr Raemaekers 2018-05-14
Erg mooie baan...perfect gebruik gemaakt van de natuur.. buggy is noodzakelijk. Ook al zijn de fairwas kaal....zeer zeker de moeite waard. Greens prima. Mooie vergezichten van hoge tees. Mooi clubgebouw...heerlijke snacks.

RICHARD BARRY DAWSON 2018-05-11
Arranging this through tee times was easy and straight forward. quick response for confirmation and good prices. Not impressed with CM pricing though, 5 euro for a hand cart!! most places are 1 euro or free!! Perhaps we won't visit that course again.

Ian Charles Mitchell 2018-05-10
Played all 27 holes over two separate days. Course was in good condition and my friend and I had a couple of very good days.

Mario de Melo 2018-05-10
Nice course configuration, well maintained , very enjoyable game.

Mike Lee 2018-05-08
Some parts of the course were in need of attention. There was no starter. Needs some work to improve the complete experience.

Janet Warburton 2018-04-27
Another good game at Castro Marim. Wonderful views towards Spain

Elaine spitty 2018-04-26
Lovely course very hilly, needed the buggy!! Very interesting.

Janet Warburton 2018-04-23
A very relaxing round of golf with wonderful views.

Richard Ashley 2018-04-19
Very difficult coursed but in great condition

Stuart Johnston 2018-04-19
Played Castro MARIM on 19 April 2017. Course in reasonable shape but very quirky, lots of slopes on fairways and these cause you to be penalised for good drives. You have to aim left or right to get the ball to finish on the fairway. Greens okay. Not the best course in the area.

Tytko, Hans-Erich 2018-04-13
Wegen des Wetters verschoben um einen Tag. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert. Platz gepflegt und trotz des Dauerregens tags zuvor gut bespielbar. Jederzeit wieder.

Mr Tony Field 2018-04-04
very good. 3 by 9 hole, each different challenges.

A. van Doorn 2018-03-24
No comment

Georg Strasser 2018-03-22
Not in good shape but interesting to play.

Ralf Brüning 2018-03-21
Quiet nice golf-course, course in moderate conditions with rather slow greens. As not that busy a nice and relaxing round of golf, worth to go there, excellent price/performance ratio.

Norbert Turba 2018-03-17
very good course in good shape, kind staff

Paul Lenz 2018-03-16
nice course and godd services

Christopher DREW 2018-03-15
Reception and Caddie Master staff were 1st class.. Grouse 9 good, although greens not great. Guadiana 9,poor,but greens better. No course Marshall, people in front of us could not play golf and we would have finished 30 minutes earlier. There is a real lack of signage from the N125, even 500 metres from the entrance at a T junction there are 2 signs with golfers on them,1 to the right and 1 to the left! We started at 1.45.

Van Doorn 2018-03-12

Philip Townsend 2018-03-11
The course was in reasonably good condition, we were disappointed that the bar prices have risen dramatically

Gert Jacobs 2018-03-04
Clubhouse good service, course and greens are in good condition

Klaus-Dieter Feldmann 2018-02-28
Attractive and challenging hilly course without boring holes. Fairway ok..greens need a bit more time. Overall very recommendable for players hcp - 20 or better.

Barry Summerfield 2018-02-04
Reception was fine - there was no starter. Course in good condition and the layout was interesting.

Rob Needham 2018-01-12
Absolutely top value golf. Beautiful well maintained course, excellent accommodation and food

Karen Wilson 2017-12-29
Excellent. Staff friendly and course in good condition

G. Thijssen 2017-12-21
Very friendly people, the golfcourse is in a good condition

norbert van der Plas 2017-12-17
Nice course although you need a caddie book because the lay-out is complex.

Chris Lennox 2017-12-08
Excellent course, facilities & staff. Could not be faulted

Dave Parsons 2017-11-18
Enjoyable round, buggy was appreciated as it's hilly. Got to play Atlantic course for the first time, which was a plus.

Phil Townsend 2017-11-13
Sadly the greens were not in a good condition and this significantly impacted on our enjoyment. The rest of the course was fine and up to expectations

Frits van Duijn 2017-11-01
So in Oktober when its wet in Holland we like to play so 2 a 3 times per week by Castro Marim. Whe like to be with Tee Times for so 7 years and when we know the time and every year we know to find us and they regalade it for us. Castro Marim and Tee Times are close friends for us. Fam F van Duijn Pijnacker The Netherlands.

Richard Ashley 2017-10-29
Challenging course, golf cart a necessity

Richard Ashley 2017-10-21
Fantastic course, a bit rough in places with patchwork greens but a real experience. Shame our game did not match the quality of the course.

Pieter Colijn 2017-10-21
Most of the tees and greens were poor. The bartender in the evening was lazy.

Jerome Rogers 2017-10-16
We truly enjoyed playing this course. Excellent facilities and the staff outstanding. Will definitely play it again.

Mr Stephen Macguffie 2017-10-15
Excellent

Barry hill 2017-10-09
The course was in good condition and far less crowded than those courses on the Western area of the Algarve. Always good value for money

Liz Scully 2017-10-07
This was my first time playing this course. Found it very challenging Condition could have been better especially around the greens. The buggy we had was definitely dangerous as the brakes were faulty Good group played and all mixed well.

Michael Bryan 2017-10-06
Not in great condition. Several holes made to fit the terrain resulting in gimmicky and poor golf holes.

Malcolm Stuart Russell 2017-10-04
Whereas the overall experience at Castro Marim was good, excellent views, club house etc. The condition of the course was not as good as some we played, the course being in need of some attention in places.

Rob Needham 2017-10-02
Castro Marim GC is a hidden gem.Please do not tell anyone!!

Robert Bickerdike 2017-09-30
greens showing signs of a long hot summer - only to be expected. Excellent value for money!

Andy Bryant 2017-09-25
Very friendly , helpful ( as it appeared we had missed our tee time slot ) -got us on the course as soon as possible

Andrew Ford 2017-09-21
Atlantico 9 holes not in good condition

Phil Townsend 2017-07-18
The green had been treated and were in a poor condition covered in sand

Peter Bamforth 2017-06-17
Very good

Bob Bickerdike 2017-05-19
nice touch of handing out cool/wet hand towels out on the course

David Hizzett 2017-05-15
Tough course, no room for error, but thoroughly enjoyable and a great golfing experience

frank crawford 2017-05-07
Brilliant

John O Connor 2017-05-06
Very nice except first day we played there it was busy and we had to wait for 1.5 hours for buggy (we're lazy)

Peter Roberts 2017-05-01
Sixteen players enjoyed the Guadiana and Atlantico courses on a lovely April day, course in good condition.

Paul Christiansen 2017-04-01
Castro Marim is a kind of hidden gem. It is challenging, usually in good condtion. I have experienced better greens there. The view and setting, is absolutely acceptable and green fee is at the right level.

Rob Needham 2017-03-24
Our favourite golf course in ther Eastern Algarve, so we are biassed. This time we stayed in superb accommodation and everything first class

John Davies 2017-03-23
Castro marim. All three 9 holes well kept, Enjoyed playing them, Forgot my mosquito spray, Big mistake.

Michael Barker 2017-03-20
Holes were very similar, enjoyed the company of the other pair partnered with

Jackie Robinson 2017-03-12
Greens a bit rough!

Marcus Hoffmann 2017-03-09
as always, it was good fun to play the course; good condition, friendly people - excellent!

Helmut Zagler 2017-02-26
also grat views to the guadiana bridge and excellent course

David Patterson 2016-11-15
The brakes on the buggies was very poor, it was very difficult to stop them going downhill. They were in a dangerous condition.

Derek Cruse 2016-11-14
great course with some lovely views. Only downside was the buggy ran out and we had to walk the last for holes! and they only paid us back half.

William Edward Green 2016-11-06
As good as usual,excellent continental breakfast.

COLIN FISH 2016-10-31
again very friendly course in good condition.

Julian Pallister 2016-10-31
thoroughly enjoyed as usual although quite alot of bare patches on fairways

Justin Parker-Hann 2016-10-16
a very nice course that is a challenge espicially the first 9 holes(the Grouse).the greens were good although bunkers could have been better. Had a very nice meal in clubhouse which was excellent value for money. 7.5/10

Andy Bryant 2016-09-26
Very friendly , nice touch of cold towels brought round to us mid-round on a very hot afternoon. Stunning course

Michael Sutton 2016-09-20
Likewise to Benamor

Robert Needham 2016-09-16
Castro Marim golf and food in club house is my favourite in the Algarve We also played Quinta do Val. they are desperate for bus

PAUL BUTTERWORTH 2016-06-30
excellent course in great condition. cant believe you can play this quality of course for so little money. bit of a drive from albufeira, but well worth the extra mileage. our friend who lives just over the border in Spain pops across the river to play this course at least twice a month, we can see why. will play again.

Nicholas Kjelgaard 2016-06-26
Lovelly course worth the trip out. Nice and quiet but on course service was great and some lovely holes.

Keith Walker 2016-06-06
Excellent service from the staff at Castro marim. Long course and a fair challenge.

Julian Pallister 2016-05-06
Excellent condition few other players around

Russ Brittain 2016-05-02
Great course in good condition and thankfully very quiet, would definitely play it again.

Mark King 2016-05-01
I hadn't played Castro Marim for a number of years, the quality of the golf course has certainly improved over the period.

Jackie Robinson 2016-03-04
Good

Jackie Robinson 2016-03-01
Excellent service as usual!

Alan Potts 2016-02-08
Beautiful and woderfully quirky. Love it

Ollie Lambe 2015-10-29
Found Castro Marim to be a good course, but killed us walking, as there were no buggies available. We're told buggies had to be pre booked. (We didn't know this beforehand.) Buggies are needed on this course as there are a lot of hills.

Hanspeter Spaelti 2015-10-23
everything ok

Julian Pallister 2015-10-21
EXCELLENT

Brian Buckeridge 2015-10-16
nice course but would recommend buggy which i'd pre booked for my group.
